Back to our episode: Sharon and Susan burst into the Blue Moon Detective Agency and hire Maddie and David to help them answer ONE BURNING QUESTION: What are their Top 8 favorite episodes of the entire series?
Maddie: “Eight? Eight? Why not ten?” David: “Can’t do it. It would make them too tens.” In the words of Miss Dipesto: “We’re never late, we won’t make you wait, but if you want favorite episodes -- you only get eight!”

THE CONVERSATION

• WHAT WAS HE THINKING? Glen Gordon Caron had a secret plan for what he wanted Moonlighting to do to network television: he wanted to kill the detective genre once and for all!
• Why were the seasons so short? Well, there was a little problem with getting episodes done on time...
• If Maddie was the “parent” and David was the “child” -- did David ever grow up?
• Is the show feminist? Or progressive? Susan and Sharon have thoughts!
• Why is the agency always broke? Maybe it’s all those people in the office who don’t do anything!
• That time when Susan got thrown off the set of The A-Team by George Peppard!
• Which Season of Moonlighting is the Moonlighting-est?
• What the hell happened with Season 4?? Warring stars, a missing showrunner -- and Die Hard!

So join Susan and Sharon as they talk Dirk Benedict, Cybill Shepherd, Bruce Willis, Melissa’s candy, The Princess Bride -- and the challenges of producing a show AND a baby at the same time!
