This was the absolute best show ever...... my favorite lead character with same first name & witty charm. Never missed an episode, this made bruce a mega star. Shows try to recreate the chemistry between david & maddie but fall short.
I remember watching this show when I was a kid. It aired in my country in the late 80's, on Mondays and I think they just aired up to season 3. I never knew what had happened to them so I imagined they lived together happily ever after. I prefer that ending as to what really became of them. Too bad the writers didn't give them the ending they deserved. Regardless of it, this was an amazing show with a chemistry between the lead characters that transcends time.
Imagine how much better the last two seasons would have been if they had done a better job with their relationship! David and Maddie could have still had the same tension, just explored in a different and still humorous way
Very well put together. T.V was at it's best back in the day. Don't get me wrong, there are shows done today that are just mindblowing but it's a different period, now. A darker period and there's no optimism for anything other than the fact that the shit hasn't hit the fan just yet. Does anybody 'get' what I'm trying to say?
you just can't help grinning when you watch them. Willis is still a favorite of mine because of his Addison character. Another commenter mentioned that he's had that same sort of (sexist) argument with women ... me too! ... but tell me, friend, how many of David Addison't lines did you fall back on - consciously or subconsciously - during those arguments? ... yeah, me, too! (My wife hates it when I watch Moonlighting, 'cause I'm Addison all over again for hours afterwords! HA!)
If the stars reunited to make this show again now, not only would it be a huge hit, I strongly suspect it would do a lot to diffuse so much of the tension in society today.
5:37 Present day: I saw a woman trying to change a flat tire on her car along side the road in the rain and cold. I wanted to help her but I didn't want her to think I was only helping her because she was a woman. So I kept going and didn't worry about it.
@pibaki Yeah, I agree. Looking back, David Addison was the character with the best lines because he had to drive Maddie insane and out of her zone of comfort. The scene where he tells Maddie she's a sexist is terrific (I know because I had conversations with women just like that). Well written, smart but exhausting to make.
@tewkewl So did I. I like the whole demolishing the 4th wall business since it transformed the show from a typical romantic comedy show into something self-conscious, self-reflexsive and self-parodying and original. Cynical and jaded as Iam, I get a good feeling when I watch this on youtube
I know it's been a number of years ago since this has been posted, but I would appeal to the "Nazelway" to repost at a higher quality, at least 360 lines. This is too good a video to limit the quality to what is shown here!
Best partners ever on tv shows. i was a kid when i was watching them. And its hard to forget Moonlighting.
It was a great show
i was a kid too when the show ran. Loved it.
She was so freaking gorgeous back in the day...
I was 21 when this aired in my beloved England in 1985, I stayed in every Thursday to watch this, best tv show then and I still love it ......

"Maddie if I get any more serious, they're gonna move us to cable." Lol. Hilarlous!
This show was 48 minutes of them bickering every week. It was awesome.
Love the Fourth Wall breaking stuff like “There’s a page missing out of my copy of the script.”
Greatest tv show ever.
Odd how it's almost completely forgotten now
I absolutely LOVE this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bruce and Cybil were brilliant! I just wish there were more people my age watching the DVD's.
Great show. Cybil was so smart, witty, and gorgeous

Aaah, the good ol' days...Loved this show so much....good memories......
best written dialog in any tv ever.
Derrick K Agreed
Still works its magic on me.
"That's what I love about this lace. You learn something new every day." XD
I love this show. :)
I LOVE WHEN THEY BREAK THE 4TH WALL!
They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny together! :-) LOL
What a fantastic and laugh out load show. Have you ever heard Cybil sing?? Great jazz singer - with an album out back in the late 80's early 90's
"..not another peep"
"...peep" 😂
He met Demi in 1987 and this show began airing in 1985. The chemistry between their characters redefined chemistry in showbiz.
Maddie: Addison! My God!
David: Isn't that redundant?
This was my favorite show
Why the hell hasn't this been I n reruns ever? One of the best shows

thank you.. I always love Mr. Bruce...
I fucking love this show!
Had Bruce Willis never became "Bruce Willis" he would have still been a tv legend.
pricepittsburgh I agree! Don Johnson is a tv legend also. Even he never became "DON JOHNSON" when he tried the big screen.
wow great acting

As long as it had as good writing as the original and didn't pander to the audience, I would definitely watch. But it still wouldn't be the same.

I scrolled down to see if someone quoted that line and there it was!

Young Bruce willis has same voice as Mark Wahlberg

Ever notice Maddie looks the hottest when she angry?
That`s why I like to get my wife angry.
Lady Alyce Beasley as Miss Agnes Dipesto and Mister Curtis Armstrong as Burt Viola
I WANNA KNOW!! LOL
When They Talk, Really Fast, You Have to Listen to Every Word in Order To Understand what They are Saying
No shit
This was one of Selena Quintanilla’s favorite shows.
David and Maddie brilliant actors, the good Chemistry, but Bruce loves Demi very much, the good job Mr. Bruce..
on me too... :)
this is the first time I seen bruce Willis... thought the show was OK....
It was groundbreaking for its time. You should check-out this episode:

I'm sorry, but just looking at Cybil Shepard she seems like a high maintainence more trouble than she is worth type of woman
