Tallied together, Moonlighting is a welcome addition to primetime TV, offering a satisfying blend of comedy, romance and action — which in itself is unique. Add to the recipe, the special talents of Willis, and you’ve got the stuff from which hits are made.
Moonlighting is bringing something truly different to the medium; a private-eye formula with wit and style in both the production and the performances. It couls well be the most significant television phenomenon of 1985.
As it charges along, the show develops a pleasing velocity that makes the eye-roll-inducing one-liners and random quirkiness forgivable.
It's an unabashed, out-there, boldface teen drama that makes the stuff in Washington look like "The Wonder Years." [30 Jan 1998, p.C1]
The show's dialogue is possibly the fastest on TV, the stories are briskly paced and unobtrusive, and Shepherd gets lots of loving close-ups. Moonlighting is a snazzy entry that deserves a full-time job on ABC next fall.
