Moonlighting - Just in time for the holidays!
Posted by David Lambert
5/28/2004


Not too long ago we passed along word straight from Bruce Willis himself that Moonlighting was returning to DVD, this time in box sets.

Property-owner Buena Vista is releasing it themselves this time, reportedly in season sets. A website that is in-the-the-know about BV's DVD plans, UltimateDisney.com, has this to say today in their new story about several upcoming releases:

The popular hour-long series "Moonlighting" also comes to DVD in a boxset this November. Left with a run-down detective agency and no other options, ex-model Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) becomes boss. The agency's only detective David Addison (Bruce Willis) is a polar opposite to her. But they might just be the perfect couple.

The other three releases cited in that story are all scheduled for November 30th, so it's probably safe to assume that this is the date for Moonlighting as well. Stay tuned, and we'll have more for you just as soon as we can get it. Our thanks to Paul Hillsdon for making us aware of this.

Thanks for the news. :D I actually just went to read that today.

Ive never seen this show before, but if the price is right I'll pick it up.

This show is the best (in my opinion) so yeah, go watch it:D

Better than the best!

I do.... and Bruce Willis is always cool.

That would be cool if this came out on DVD then I can see them again because I have not seen this show in a long time. Also I might would remember some of the episodes too.

It is coming out on DVD. party: November 30th...how cool is that? :rock: There's a thread about it somewhere on this board...

Bruce Willis confirmed on his site (Sept. 20) that Moonlighting will be released on DVDs on December 1, 2004. He was not sure if all of the episodes will be released together, or whether they will be released season by season.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M HAPPY ALL OVER AGAIN!!!:D :D :D :D :D

YAHOOOOOO!!!!
I hope they come out in Europe too or else you're gonna have to send them to me KIS!!

I definitely promise to send them to you if the need arises.

That's not a Tuesday.... so chances are probably not.

A few months ago he talked about the DVDs being released on or about November 30, 2004. So I bet November 30 will be the actual release date since most DVDs come out on a Tuesday. BUT there have been a few exceptions, as I recall.

Whatever date it happens, I'm elated it's going to happen!!!!!:wave:

Terrific News!!!!!!! :talk: :D :crazy: :cool:

Thanx hon!!

Oh man, I'm ECSTATIC! :woohoo: Thanks for the great news...sure hope it's true.

This is excellent news! I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I did that the last time, and as Taz said, you never know whether this date applies to Europe or not. Perhaps I should get a multi-region DVD player!

Mul

Fingers crossed for this too.

And if they come out I can stop worrying about missing Moonlight in the day time

TVShowsOnDVD.com said today that "Moonlighting" is tentatively scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2005 (that's May-June) but it may move. They said the chances are very likely they'll only release the first season or a combined seasons 1 & 2 set, not the entire series like Bruce Willis had commented on. I have no doubt that the first release will sell well & the other seasons will be released eventually. Man, what else do we have to go through to see our Moonlighting on DVD!! I wish they would stop toying with our emotions like this :lol: :crazy:

Gosh! What's it gonna be MALA VISTA???:confused:

It's so frustrating. You get all excited because finally something is scheduled to come out on DVDs that is intelligent, funny, well-written etc. -- then somebody kicks you in the shins!

Last night, I went to a local store and was greeted by a DVD series of Don Knotts' greatest movies. NOW, if they can put that crappola on DVDs, then why can't Moonlighting be put out? Why should we have to wait? None of this makes any sense at all.

Crappola?? hahahaha LMAO!!:rofl:

HASTA LA VISTA!?

Why do they keep doing this to us:confused:

Maybe they are having trouble to get all the DVDs ready before this year since so many people are asking about. Are they afraid that they won't have enough to sell?

I know! I think around six seasons of Friends are out to buy already...and nothing against Friends fans, but that show pales in comparison to ML. Don't you think they could've ditched "The Best of...Season Four" and given us just one ML DVD instead? That seems pretty fair to me.

I agree, I've not even heard of Don Knotts! I'm sure lots more people have heard of Bruce and Cybill!!!

Some of the DVDs on sale in England seem to be the worst of British and US TV, most of which are still on TV over and over again....

I like Friends myself, but I'd swap all my Friends DVDs in order to get the Moonlighting ones!!

One thing being on DVD has nothing to do with another thing being on DVD.

And Im pretty sure lots more people have heard of Don Knotts than Cybill.
But Bruce is more famous than those 2 combined.

Yep I realise that it's all to do with the individual companies, producers, owners, music rights, money, actors, etc. I'm just commenting on the unfairness of it all. :)

I can't imagine that Don Knotts is more famous than Cybill in the UK or Europe. I've honestly never heard of him...has he been in any films?

Mul
:cool:

never heard of him either:confused:

:eek: Don Knotts was Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show & Mr. Furley on Three's Company.

Barwars is right - here in America, more people are familiar with Don Knotts than Cybill Shepherd, but Bruce Willis is more famous than those two all together.

You think that Don Knotts is more famous than Cybill?

WOW - we disagree BIG TIME on that point.

Could you please list the Academy Award winning movies that Don Knotts has been in? The movies that I saw released on DVD with him in it were not the greatest, IMO.

If you disagree, it's fine.


IT'S ALL GOOD.

Academy Awards dont equal fame.
Don Knotts starred in 2 of the biggest sitcoms, EVER.

never saw those:rolleyes: :p

Thank you Barwars - I couldn't agree more. Don Knotts is an American TELEVISION (not movie) icon.

Kismet, we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm not taking anything away from Cybill, I have nothing but love for her. I'd have to guess that you're a little biased though, because you seem like a huge Cybill fan. I had the pleasure of meeting Cybill at Sardi's in NYC about 10 years ago. I acted like a fool & asked her a bunch of ML questions lol I also got her autograph. My sister worships Bruce Willis & last year she saw him in concert at Myrtle Beach, SC & got to meet him after the show. She said he gave out Krispy Kreme doughnuts to everyone lol But like you said, it's all good :cool:

If it sounded like a putdown, it wasn't meant to be.

I guess I was mad because Don Knotts' movie career does not need to be put on DVDs before a great show like Moonlighting IMO.

Don Knotts is an American icon. His two television shows should be on DVDs -The Andy Griffith Show and 3's Company. But when I see Don Knotts and his movies put out on DVDs before a great show like Moonlighting is put out, then I get a little mad. I also did not agree that Don Knotts is more famous than Cybill. Maybe to some older folks in the U.S. (like me), he is quite famous, but as you can see, some people from other countries have never heard of him.

The thing is, it cost Universal practically nothing to put that on DVD.

But it will cost Paramount a hell of a lot more to release Moonlighting.


(and movies have 100x the chance of a TV show to be released on DVD)

I do agree with you on one thing - Moonlighting SHOULD be put on DVD before Don Knotts' movies lol But unfortunately, movies seem to come before TV shows in the world of DVD marketing.

don knotts is an american movie icon, as mentioned earlier. but, to correct most peoples wrong outlooks, america ain't the world. it's a huge part of it, not not all. as many people just on this board alone that are from other places, i am sure many have never heard of him, at least not by name. they may have seen him, but not caught the name and such.
he was in a bunch of movies in the lates '50's, i believe, and throughout the '60's.
but he will be ALWAYS known for the andy griffith show and three's company.

I know who he is (guess I'm a little older...) but he's not famous and hardly known here at all.
Cybill isn't very famous anymore either in Europe, but...... almost everybody knows who she is!

I guess a picture of Cybill stays engraved in your mind and Mr Knotts doesn't. LOL
But I really wished that they wouldn't look at the pricetags so much but just what the public wants, THAT"S IMPORTANT!

I wouldn't be able to tell you who I think is more famous here in America because all the people I talk to (stupid teenagers) know Barney Fife, but not Maddie Hayes. I think the idea of who's more known depends on the age group you ask.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I can see where you're coming from, kis. I get just as frustrated when I see shows that aren't half the caliber of ML released on DVD. In my book, Moonlighting is a classic (it even made EW's "Top 100 TV Shows" list), and the fact that getting it out to buy is taking this much work and aggravation is unbelievable to me.

The harsh reality is the DVDs are about making money. As great as Moonlighting is, my guess is that it will be expensive to get it on DVD, particularly given all the music involved. I'm sure The Powers That Be are weighing that against the demand to make sure there is some profit. Let's hope it balances out in the black.

it really is about time to put a bruce willis tv show on dvd. my boyfriend is a huge fan of his.

btw-don knotts is barney fife? i live in new york city with 10,000 things to do and me and my friends actually record the andy griffith show to watch barney fife. he's funny just doing nothing. and my mom and dad and grandparents, sisters and brothers all agree that there's nobody funnier. and that's the only thing we agree on. and you don't have to be a little older to love him-i'm 14.

I dont know if I should take that as insult, but ohh well, I dont.
People can like both Don Knotts and Cybill.
I actually prefer Don Knotts.
But then again, Im only a "stupid teenager".... much like yourself.

:eek: No, I didn't mean that as an insult! What I meant by "stupid teenagers" is that you can't trust them either way...I didn't mean that they were stupid for liking Don Knotts. I like him, too.

Sorry for the confusion. :(

Hey, Carolanne. :wave: I see that you're a newbie here...welcome! My name's Lauren; I'm 14, too. :D

What I actually meant by the whole "age group" comment was that people of an older generation tend to be more familiar with Don, and people of the 80s tend to be more familiar with Cyb. It really doesn't have anything to do with who you like, exactly...just who you view as more famous.

I was wondering when that dvd was ever going to come out! Yaaay!

well, here we have nine seasons of Friends available on DVD... and the tenth will probably be in stores before ML ever comes...

in his board, Bruce confirmed some days ago that they wont be out for x-mas (saying ABC sold the rights to Lion Gate Films) :( :eek: :( http://www.brucewillis.com/fans/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=000764 (cf his post)


pfffft... and i havent find any ep with emule !!! boouhoohooo.... maybe i just dont know how it works ? :confused:

oh and.... i have never heard of Don Knotts oops :o

Nou if you search for Moonlighting on Emule it will retrieve all the episodes for ya.....

For those who dont know who Lions Gate is....

THIS BLOWS!!





They've been known to edit series. (ALF, Saved by the Bell and Will & Grace have all been edited)

I was so mad when "Moonlighting" was taken off BRAVO... I hope the DvD comes out sometime NEXT year or...:mad:

That would be a big mistake in this case. Moonlighting has a very dedicated fan base that knows the show extremely well. If they release incomplete episodes that are no better than syndication, I predict they will not sell well. A lot of diehard fans (pardon the expression) already have incomplete versions on tape. :mad:

Ugh, of course. How did I know something like this would happen? We just really don't have any luck. ohno:

Has anyone ever seen this "The Best of Moonlighting"?

http://i1.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/a7/b2/97_1_b.JPG

I saw that on eBay. But they say it are two episodes

Knowing Her and I think Bride of Tupperman. If they think those two are the best episodes...well...then....we know they are wrong LOL:D

i'm gonna find out just how bad edited the DVD's are. if they are too bad, i won't get them.

I hope all of you ML fans waiting to get the series on DVD take a few minutes out of your busy days to go post these comments over on the Moonlighting DVD campaign board. We set up a small forum for people to post what they want or don't want to see on the DVD releases and Lions Gate has indicated that they are interested in knowing what the fans want.

So please mosey over to http://www.moonlightingdvd.com and take the prominent link near the top to the Forum board. Hey, it can't hurt and it could help.

Thanks

it's been well over 30 hours since i went to that site cindy. i registered. and i have yet to get a password so i can log in.

I am checking on it bobby...and sent you an email. Hang in there!

C.

no email either, sorry.

Wow bry that must mean your ISP is blocking mail from domains...sometimes they do this to prevent virus attacks.... AOL is notorious for hijacking mail.

I can set you up an account using an email address. Then give you a password access to it using the Private message system on this board. Then you can login and change the password or whatever else you want changed on the profile if you want to do that. LMK.

ok. do what you need to and then tell me excatly what to do. i am computer dumb.

Ok bry

I have created you an account and sent you the password through Private Message here. Check your private messages.... and thank you for being so patient.

Cindy
