I watched this series from its inception. One of my 80s favorites, along with Wiseguy and Miami Vice. Unfortunately, Moonlighting went up like a rocket during the 80s and came down just as fast. What really killed this show was Cybil Shepherd's pregnancy and Bruce Willis becoming an action start via Die Hard. The show really began to fall apart afterward, although it kept its sense of humor and meta perspective. ("You're back! Our audience! You're back!"). Not for long, it turns out. "Walter Bishop" had it right when he opined "America fell in love with you two falling in love. But you kept falling. You never landed anywhere". Caron also was involved with Remington Steele, which never attained the cultural heights of Moonlighting but managed to wrap up the show with a fairly decent finale and gave us Pierce Brosnan to save the 007 series.
