Moonlighting

It is Mr. Willis who elevates the show from good viewing to outstanding entertainment. [03 Mar 1985, p.3K]

Moonlighting is a sleuth-and-smoocher that is very funny and so downright friendly you keep wishing these people were real so you could hang with 'em on the corner, talkin' trash and lookin' sly. [01 Mar 1985, p.67]

With a little elbow grease, some long hours and good support from Willis (who should have been in a series long before this) Moonlighting could well go into overtime. [01 Mar 1985, p.B13]

Moonlighting does not have a style and charm all its own. It borrow those important intangibles from NBC's Remington Steele. But it borrows more from the early Steele than the cutesier current incarnation, and that's good. [01 Mar 1985, p.E3]

We expect television programs to be derivative, but Moonlighting doesn't even do its borrowing with finesse.

Why go for the imitation when you can have the original? Stick with real magnetism and Remington on Tuesdays. [06 Mar 1985, p.5B]

In general, pilot films fall into three modes -- promising, bearable and for imbeciles only. Moonlighting is definitely in the last class. [01 Mar 1985, p.20]
