Do Bees Bee? Do Bears Bear?
Will the hot 80's show that launched the career of Bruce Willis and helped revive the career of Cybill Sheppard make a comeback for a new millennium? As more and more shows from our past make reunion comebacks, millions of fans of the hit dramedy from ABC are clamoring for a new Moonlighting movie reuniting Willis as David Addison and Sheppard as Maddie Hayes and have created a website to advocate their cause DavidandMaddie.com.
I really like this website. I think it is a beautiful work of art. The headlining banner features a city skyline with the words Moonlighting emblazoned across it, a silhouette of a crescent moon right next to it and a heart with Willis and Sheppard together. The site contains biographical information on the characters, including quotes and tons of pictures.
There are also these very cool boxes with a variety of sections giving each character from the show a say. Everything stands out perfectly. The people that created this site really did their homework. In one box, In-Depth Case Studies, Maddie takes over and her sophistication shows as she takes a look at each episode, breaking it down by season, episode number, show title, airdate, writer, description and editor rating. The section also compiles critical essays about the show and a pressroom containing articles written about the show. Of course, Maddie also discusses fashion and décor, which actually played a big part of the show's success.
However, if you want some cool fun, go to David's section, which is called David's Good Stuff contains all the fun things that made the show just cool. Written in an immature fashion, like David's character, the section includes red hot photos of David getting action from Maddie, a section devoted to the sexual innuendos that the show was known for (downloaded in PDF format), a section that discussed why alcohol seemed to play an important role in character development and just some funny jokes written about the show.
Even the wacky secretary, Miss Dipesto has a diary that includes her views of the budding and tension filled relationship between David and Maddie. There are funny captions from scenes of the show, a section where the Blue Moon Detective Agency spies on their bosses and lets the readers know what they did and didn't do and a section that analyzes the various dreams each character had throughout the series.
This site has so much going for it. Nothing was left out. The site is not only fun it is very informative as well. There are hundreds of websites devoted to this hit show, but none are as good as the site. The drive to bring the show back is picking up steam and even the stars of the show have been discussing their Moonlighting lives. Making www.DavidandMaddie.com. the perfect starting point for any fan who wants to go back in time and remember the good old days when sexual tension was all the rage and the characters actually made the viewers a part of the show.
