Richard Addison question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

neon000 · 02-05-2007, 06:40 PM

By the time Richard turns up again in a few episodes toward the end of the show, in the last one or two seasons, what was he doing for a living?

We all found out about his weird get-rich-quick schemes in the second season, but it's slipped my mind what he was doing after that.

Good question! I can't for the life of me remember if it was ever mentioned...

all i can remember is a comment david made about richie being able to collect unemployment in 3 states.

I don't recall if he ever had a steady job.
His character was just so loveable. I miss Richie.

Did anyone ever hear about the "why" in his death? The way he died still bothers me to this day.

i know, it bothers me too. i haven't heard anything since that first story came out.

It was suicide wasn't it? That's what I heard.

I know it was reported as a suicide, but it was the way he did it that bothered me. Most people do not slice their own throat(s) in order to off themselves.

I thought maybe someone had read that he was very ill, and/or severely depressed etc.

It has always interested me in the fact that many naturally funny people (of which he was one) are unhappy people in their personal lives.
For example, Jim Carrey, and the late Richard Jeni

I just watched Hocus Pocus over the weekend.
I miss Charles Rockett. His death still intrigues me. The "WHY" was never answered.

It has always interested me that my oldest daughter, who is severly mentally/physically handicapped, loves both Bruce Willis and Charles Rockett. Whenever she sees Bruce, she smiles. He makes her feel good - so does Charles Rockett.
It probably started when she was a baby, cuz that's when Moonlighting would have been on.

We watched The Whole Nine Yards and Hocus Pocus on Saturday.

This site seems to be forgotten. Let's get it started again.
Is there another site that I am not aware of that all of you have gone to?

Hi kis , your`e right it has gone very quite on here , it seems that now all the dvds are out everyone from this site has stopped talking ?.
But i do make sure that i touch base / see whats shakin! on a regular bases.
But all the activity seems to be over on DavidandMaddie.com and their Moonlighting fans forum. Infact there are new members joining all the time young fans as well as us `old originals`

.
I don`t know if any of us from over here has jumped ship to the other site or not but they seem to have plenty to talk about it`s such a shame that it isn`t the same on here anymore. This was always the first site i would visit when i wanted to talk to my fellow moonlighting fans as everyone was great, friendly and funny. Im glad that you `ve still managed to stick around Kis.
Surely we all can`t be talked out .

Talking about Charles Rocket , I finally got to watch his appearance on the Cybill show the other week and i absolutely loved it!!. He was very funny and didn`t look as though he had aged hardly at all.watching him and Cybill again was like seeing Richie and Maddie again ,only the last piece of the puzzle was missing - Bruce. Oh well i think that boat has long sailed, and i `ve all but given up on seeing Cybill and Bruce working together again.

.
BTW have you seen Bruce latest bit of totty, I think her name is Emma Hemming and she is some kind of undies model. I reckon if Bruce goes much younger he`ll have to start hanging around outside school gates to pick up his next date

Can anyone say midlife crisis!!

I havent checked this site in awhile either. It does seem like most everyone posts on the DavidandMaddie message board and lots of us also have livejournal too where we post alot.
Still so sad to think about Charles being gone. Way to young. I wish Cybill was available on dvd for the US. Would love to see him on her show.
