Question about "Remington Steele" and "Moonlighting" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

bmasters9 · 02-11-2007, 08:13 PM

I have a question about "Remington Steele" and "Moonlighting", two '80's series that I have thought about getting on DVD:

Are either or both of these series too graphically sexy? In other words, do either or both of these series have any very overt sex in them?

I will appreciate any advice.

I am a big moonlighting fan. Its basically a show filled with romance, action, and quite a bit of humor. There's not really any "sex" just them waking up in bed together thats all. You should watch moonlighting its a really great show.

Thanks very much for the advice-- now that I know what the content of "Moonlighting" is like, I believe that I might get it on DVD sometime.

Moonlighting was my favorite show of the 80s and I really didn't like TV by that point. Just such a great, well written series.

no problem

Others may disagree or agree with me but I found moonlighting way more interesting than remmington steele.

Remington Steele is warm and fun. I found ML to be cold and hammy. I Netflixed it to see Bruce but ended up liking the blonde and thinking Bruce was a blow hard; hated it. On the other hand I Netflixed disc one of RS and bought all five seasons; in fact I just finished the series tonight.

Try Netflix.

One other thing that I'd like to know-- is "Moonlighting" a single-sided release? I know that "Remington Steele" is very likely a double-sided release, based on that it is from MTM and also that FOX Home Entertainment releases MTM series on disc.

Moonlighting is single sided and Remmington Steele is double sided disks

Okay, then, that settles it. I appreciate all the help.

I love Both Shows... Remington Steele is more your murder/mystery show though. Moonlighting starts off as such but turns more into a romantic comedy before to long. I would say stay away from Moonlighting Season 4 and 5. They are terrible. Remington Season 5 is also terrible. But the rest of the seasons of both shows are must own gems.

Remington Steele isn't overly sexy at all - you'll never catch them waking up in bed together.

Why not buy a season of each. I'm a big time Remington Steele fan and the double discs are fine really... they make for less shelf space too... ha ha!

Go on buy both... splash the cash! I highly recommend either season 2 or 3 or Remington as they have Mildred Krebbs in for that added comedy!

Hey, thanks for the tip-- I already ordered the "Moonlighting" S1-S2 set from walmart.com. If/when I save up some more money, I might go after "Remington Steele." I don't have the money for "Steele" right now, after having spent it on "Moonlighting." Again, however, thanks for the tip.

On a side note, Moonlighting definitely has it origins in Remington Steele. Prior to creating ML, Glenn Gordon Caron had been a supervising producer and writer on RS.

I've got season 1-3 of ML, watched the show when it was first on. Lent one of the sets to a coworker (season 3). He was a little young when it was first on, so he never really saw it...I think he's hooked now

Now he wants to see the first 2 seasons.
