Possible 'goof' in "The Next Murder You Hear... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was home sick today, so naturally, I popped in the Moonlighting DVD's...better than a truckload of vitamin C! Anyway, I was watching "The Next Murder You Hear" when I noticed what I think is a blooper of sorts...(If someone's already mentioned this, sorry.)

It's towards the beginning of the episode, right after the scene where they first check out the crime scene at the radio station and meet with the station manager. David says, "Now that is what I call a case...sex, violence, hit tunes," and Maddie suddenly looks over at him and looks like she is trying not to laugh. But moments later, when she says, "we're not taking this case" she looks ticked and definitely not amused. I think she was smiling as Cybill, not Maddie. Maybe Bruce changed the line or something, or he might have stepped on her mark while they were walking because it looks like he kind of steps in front of her.

Not exactly too exciting, I know, I just wondered if anyone else noticed that, or if they just assumed Maddie was in character.

I also thought I noticed a cutting inconsistency during the one half of "To Heiress Human" that I have on tape. In the scene right after Maddie wakes up and gets out of bed, David's boxers seem to "move" throughout the conversation. UP, down, UP down...very interesting!!

Anyway, back to my Moonlighting Marathon...

Hi Ms B. I noticed that too in The Next Murder You Hear. She laughs at David's comment, then when they get in the car she acts angry

I never noticed the boxer thing in Heiress but I did notice his boxers, up and down, in I Am Curious Maddie.

You're right! It was I Am Curious Maddie...I hadn't seen it for a while, but now I remember it was from that scene, not Heiress.

Sorry!

They had a problem with editing in the bed scene. It was really obvious. Maybe it was because Cybill didn't feel so good and they couldn't re-shoot?

The hallway shot of her in To Heiress Human showed how ill she was feeling. Her face so really shiny and she looked nauseous.

In to Heiress Human there's also an editing mistake when David turns to her in bed and puts his hand on her belly and the next shot he's on laying on his back again.....

In The Next Murder You Hear, I swear it's Bruce's voice disguised in the beginning in the voiceover - when he's says "...she's like milk".

I really like this episode.
