Franklin St. Journal file photo by Gordon Weeks- Season 1 of'Moonlighting’shows promise television show that mul— tiple generations of TV viewers have never seen, and it ended an entire season of simmering sexual tension with a free-for—all food fight. Because I’m faced with slim pickings for recent the- atrical releases, I’ll try an experiment by reviewing the first season of a Show that made its streaming debut on It’s the most influential N THE 1 DARK REVIEWS Hulu in October, after origi- nally airing from 1985—89. You can tell me if you want me to continue. “Moonlighting” wasn’t the first romantic sitcom to throw together a strait—laced, classy, glamorous gal with a crude and clever class clown, but even during its six-episode first season as a midseason replacement, it stood out for Willis. its snappy patter, written by series creator Glenn Gordon Caron, and for the intense chemistry between co-leads Cybill Shepherd and Bruce The first season of “Moon— lighting” was seeing what it could get away with during a decade when even popcorn entertainment often took it— self overly seriously. . Its early episodes shared some ofthe same padding as too many of its contem- porary peers, from “Knight Rider” to “The A-Team,” but by the standards of the era, its main characters’ overlap— ping dialogue was delivered at a blistering pace, and its background score leaned on diegetically inserted rock and R&B songs from the 1950s and ’605. Despite its frenetic ban— ter and abrupt plot twists, “Moonlighting” felt as smooth and cool as its classic theme song by Al J arreau, and as much as its lead characters (and the actors playing them) rubbed each other the wrong way, they shared a guarded vulnerability, and developed 517 Franklin St. 0 Shelton (Across from Safeway) 0 www.5heltoncinemas.com 24 Hour Movie Info (360) 426-1000 respect for each other’s merits. Would—be boss-lady Maddie Hayes was (like Shepherd) a famous former CoverGirl, and her smirkingly loyal employee and partner, licensed private eye David Addison, was (like Willis) a working-class wise- aleck, and just as Maddie was a responsible adult who re- mained focused on their busi- ness’ bottom line, David was a rogue who encouraged her to live a little more. As cold as Maddie could be, she cared about others, and as much as David presented himself as a male chauvinist, he never objected to work— ing for a woman, and he had deeper feelings that could get hurt, too, as much as he pre~ tended otherwise.

What made Maddie and David such a winning pro— spective couple washow they sparked off each other, which made it clear how much joy they had to offer one another, if only they could let their guards down and get out of their own way.
