Does anybody know which episodes of ML are due to be shown this weekend on abc1?

I've been videoing the ones during the week where I can, but I've completely lost track to where we've got with the weekend reruns!!

In the weekday epi's, we had got as far as Between a yuk and a hard place yesterday, so early season 5...

Mul, in case you weren't watching today they showed "Sleep Talkin' Guy"

Tamm · 12-12-2004, 11:35 AM

On no, just had a thought that if abc1 have their normal scheduling over Christmas I'll miss 2 great episodes (the man who cried wife and symphony in knocked flat) as I will be away and in an area whre there is no abc1

But it would be heartless to miss a family Christmas to watch Moonlighting and I am not

Does anyone know if (and when) the DVDs will be released in the UK?

MulberryGal · 12-12-2004, 12:40 PM

Thanks for that Tamm, I was getting confuzzled!! there's a few episodes I don't have on video and I wanted to catch them on the weekend showings!

Just looked at the Christmas Radio Times, and there seem to be no episodes of ML on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, so I don't think 'yule' miss anything!! (Bad joke!!)..

Tamm · 12-12-2004, 03:39 PM

Thanks Mul,

though I don't know if that's correct as my tv guide showed no episode of Moonlighting today and it was definitely on, I watched it

I do hope you are right though

And yes, thats a bad joke, but I still laughed

Tamm · 12-20-2004, 10:44 AM

Yippee Mul, you are correct! No Moonlighting on Christmas Day or Boxing Day so I won't miss anything

Tamm · 12-20-2004, 11:58 AM

Has the weekday scheduling gone of course too? Today it was Atomic Shakespeare

spankboy · 12-22-2004, 11:35 AM

It would seem that although the abc1 schedule meant that every episode of Moonlighting would be shown (except for The Pilot)
and it would be completed on Friday December 24th with the final episode (Lunar Eclipse) it would seem that this week they are running repeat episodes, having reached episode 61 (Those Lips, Those Lies) on Friday December 17th.

What has happened to the remaining five episodes? Are we to see them??

...and it would seem that abc1 is down to just one screening a day - at 3.05 pm - missing the morning broadcast! Radio Times still lists it as airing twice a day on the channel!

MulberryGal · 12-22-2004, 03:56 PM

Thanks for keeping us up to date Tamm and Garry!

abc1 seem to have lost the plot... It's impossible to work out when episodes will be screened. It made sense to end the series on Christmas Eve, I thought!

I'll look forward to working out what will happen in the new year...

spankboy · 12-22-2004, 09:15 PM

Yes, Mul, that's what I thought too when I worked out the sequence of episodes!! A neat finish on Christmas Eve! 65 episodes covering 13 five-day weeks since Monday September 27th!!

So far this week we have had "Atomic Shakespeare" (Monday);
"A Trip To The Moon" (Tuesday); "Maddie Hayes Got Married" (Wednesday). Another repeat later today (Thursday) ?? and - no doubt - "Twas The Episode Before Christmas" on Friday??? A nice choice for Christmas Eve!!

All of these are classic episodes - but I would suggest that there is little point in showing them like this out of sequence as the story-line unfolds (especially in the later episodes) and anyone watching for the first time - (do such individuals exist I ponder?) -would wonder what was going on??

The weekend run has reached "Camille" and "The Son Also Rises" last weekend (December 18th/19th). None are scheduled to be aired this coming (Christmas) weekend. The New Year weekend listings are not yet published. In order to show the complete episodes with two each weekend I have worked out that it will have to run for another 21 weekends in the New Year!

I wonder if the weekday transmissions will continue in the New Year with a second run once all the episodes have been shown?

Are we also going to be treated to "The Pilot" sometime, too? That was a feature-length episode so it would not fit into the current schedule!!

Hopefully the weekday transmissions will resume in January with the final unshown episodes from Season 5.

Has anyone else seen the adverts?

A WHOLE AFTERNOON OF MOONLIGHTING ON NEW YEAR'S DAY!

If there's 7 hours of Home Improvement (and why does Home Improvement get longer than Moonlighting anyway?), that means the Moonlighting marathon will start at 1pm, giving us 5 back-to-back episodes

kismet · 12-27-2004, 05:23 PM

Hey SweetCakes -- I love your name. It reminds me of a great Moonlighting scene.

SweetCakes · 12-27-2004, 05:32 PM

*curtsies*
Why thankyew, we aim to please

That scene is in the first episode of Moonlighting that I ever saw. Didn't actually understand what was going on at the time. I really should see Read The Mind - See The Movie again some time!

Tamm · 12-30-2004, 04:34 PM

Oh no, that will be the end of the decorating I was planning to do on New year's day then!!
