S4 Ep 124Father Knows Last - Part Two

SYNOPSIS:Maddie’s mother has guessed that Maddie’s pregnant due to her constant morning sickness. Meanwhile, back at Blue Moon, the furniture is being repossessed, as the bills haven’t been paid in David’s absence and the employees begin to rebel. Herbert’s dictatorial leadership skills are not helping the situation so the employees demand, “No work and pay!”—and walk out. David returns to Blue Moon to find Agnes and Bert in an empty office. Maddie’s father turns up to speak to David. He’s found out about the pregnancy and wants David to “do the right thing.” David has a fight with Agnes back at Blue Moon, which makes him realize he needs to fully explain the situation to Mr. Hayes. He rushes to the airport and boards the same plane as Mr. Hayes to explain his relationship with Maddie in real detail and to tell him how much he loves her. They resolve their differences on the plane. Mr. Hayes apologizes and gives David a check to restore Blue Moon’s financial situation. The next morning, David arrives at Blue Moon being rolled in on Maddie’s desk by men replacing the furniture. He makes a speech about how the business is now back operating as normal. The episode ends with David reading a book on fatherhood.MOONLIGHTING THE TV SHOWThe show is all about the hit TV Show Moonlighting which aired from 1985 to 1989 starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.Grace Chivell and Shawna Saari take a look at each episode in chronological order from the Pilot to the end of the fifth and final season.They discuss the direction, the production, the outfits, the lighting, the car chases, and the tumultuous relationship between Maddie Hayes and David Addison.FOR MORE INFORMATION:https://moonlightingthepodcast.comMOONLIGHTING COMMUNITY:Fans Facebook Group:Facebook Page:Instagram Twitter/XPURCHASE:Moonlighting: An Episode Guide Bookon TuckerDSPressOR on Amazon:Moonlighting MerchandiseSubscribe to our YouTube Channel Learn more about Grace here:Learn more about Shawna here:Donate at Ko-fi.comPersonal Instagram:https://instagram.com/grace_chivellhttps://instagram.com/saari_not.saari Hosted on Acast.

S4 Ep 122Cool Hand Dave - Part Four

SYNOPSIS:The lines often get blurred in Moonlighting, and this is one example. David is still in prison, and nobody knows where he is. It’s not only his friends who are wondering where he is; it’s also network executives. They seek the services of a fortune teller, who uses a crystal ball in an attempt to locate David, but all she sees are bars. Following this, they begin auditioning to find a replacement. We begin to see the auditions, with men in line all dressed up in various outfits that David wore in previous episodes. David is released from solitary confinement and placed in a work gang, where his fellow convicts advise him to marry Maddie.Bert is using his new, temporary title of Blue Moon supervisor, awarded to him by David, to put the employees in line. David witnesses illegal activities by a prison guard, who is about to kill him, but fortunately, a riot starts, allowing David to escape unnoticed. Agnes and Bert decide to start investigating the whereabouts of “Mr. Addison.”The episode features a lengthy musical number performed by the prisoners in the style of "When I Was a Lad" from Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore.MOONLIGHTING THE TV SHOWThe show is all about the hit TV Show Moonlighting which aired from 1985 to 1989 starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.Grace Chivell and Shawna Saari take a look at each episode in chronological order from the Pilot to the end of the fifth and final season.They discuss the direction, the production, the outfits, the lighting, the car chases, and the tumultuous relationship between Maddie Hayes and David Addison.FOR MORE INFORMATION:https://moonlightingthepodcast.comMOONLIGHTING COMMUNITY:Fans Facebook Group:Facebook Page:Instagram Twitter/XPURCHASE:Moonlighting: An Episode Guide Bookon TuckerDSPressOR on Amazon:Moonlighting MerchandiseSubscribe to our YouTube Channel Learn more about Grace here:Learn more about Shawna here:Donate at Ko-fi.comPersonal Instagram:https://instagram.com/grace_chivellhttps://instagram.com/saari_not.saari Hosted on Acast.
