"boink, boink, boink, boink, boink......"

an allnight radio dj fakes his own murder so he can keep his affair with the station owner's wife going. he lives. the owner dies, at the hands of the station manager, who wants the wife for himself.
this is the kind of investigation that ONLY could go to bluemoon. maddie didn't want the case because there were no payng customers. dave wanted it because he felt it would be great publicity for the agency. they ended up with three paying customers, one of which was the killer. so they only got paid by two and front page publicity.
dave is never wrong. well, except he thought the dj, paul mccain was the killer. maddie thought it was the wife. nobody thought it was the station manager. he told on himself.

I remember this one!

Go me!

Question: Did Maddie take an "interest" in the DJ? I think I remember that being brought up. Anyway...

David: "You stick the stick pin in, you pull the stick pin out, you stick the stick pin in, and you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself about. That's what it's all about!"

Love that line!

I don't recall enough to give it a rating, but I did like it a lot. (Then again...what episode do I not like a lot?)

maybe.
maddie did not want this case. but she took some of his tapes and listened to them driving and at her house. and by listening to what he said, she could tell the kind of person he was. dave accussed her many times of getting the hots for a "dead guy".
then when mccain caught her spying on him, they talked all night and she got to really know him. in person, instead of from the tapes.

wait til the next one. see if you remember it.

Getting the hots for a dead guy? How could I forget that?

I liked this one a lot!

One of my favorite episodes. Is it just me or does that cheeseburger that cook is frying at the beginning look really really good? LOL At least it does until part of the ashes from his cigar falls on it.

marla · 09-17-2004, 07:34 AM

gee, i finally get some time off and now i can't sleep. so maybe i'll do a moonlighting marathon and post away.

this episode can only be described as bliss for me.

i loved the story the all night dj told about the girl with the 7 beating hearts.
the editing in this episode is seamless. simply flawless.
the movement in the acting in this episode was like watching a dance. amazing.
the back and forth discussing between david and maddie is just fun. 'did too, did not, did too, did not.'
i learned that maddie is moral and one of those essed words. and she only wants clients with morals. in a detective agency!

in a way this episode feels like a set up.
i learned maddies type is blond, soft spoken, well mannered and as david said 'deep, grand canyon', in other words everything david is not.
i was really surprised that david called her every 15 minutes and was concerned that she was in love with the dead dj and was hurt and insecure about it. from the 'wrong way' sign in the opening credits, i think that david might be in emotional danger.
i think that david has his work cut out for him and it's just dawning on him, because even though maddie only feels 'stiff and tense' around david, she not remotely close to thinking of him romantically.
don't they look great driving in a car together at night?

kismet · 09-17-2004, 09:45 PM

I liked this episode. I though Cybill did a good job. This episode showed David's jealousy - he had already fallen for her, folks.

Was it my imagaination, or did the voiceover in the beginning sound like Bruce disguising his voice? You remember -- when he talks about a girl who is "like milk".

CyBr · 09-17-2004, 11:39 PM

Wow! I never noticed that. Now I have to go back and listen to it again!!

Tazmania · 09-18-2004, 05:15 PM

I will check it out too!!

Tamm · 10-09-2004, 10:05 AM

I enjoyed this episode

Good insight into both David and Maddie, made me like both of them even more

but I don't think that it has any really sparkly, fantastic bits.

Looking forward to tomorrow and the next installment

This episode was one of the best television shows I've ever seen.

It was an awful lot like reading a really good book, where you see yourself as the character. I got so caught up in this episode that I felt like I 'was Maddie" on her adventure.

An how is it possible to not like a television show that starts out with a radio host in a deserted building in the middle of the night telling a story to his listeners on the Heartbreak Hotline. I actually got caught up in his story. And while he's telling the story, you see all sorts of night people going about their business listening to their radios, and then there's a shot, and the radio just has this errrrrr sound.

And then it goes into comedy with David and Maddie going back and forth--as David said "this case has everything, sex, violence and hit tunes" and Maddie "who's the client?"

And then Maddie starts to fall in love with a dead man (who was the type who would be very easy to fall in love with).

And then it went into a real whodunit.I did not know and was curious to find out.

And we got to see Maddie and David arguing about 'boinking'.

Really very good tv.

gypsygem81 · 02-21-2005, 03:48 AM

I love the 'boinking' conversation when Maddie throws David out of the car and her screaming 'get out of my car'!!!

Love Gem

Dutchie · 02-21-2005, 08:45 AM

Yes, this was a great episode and I just watched it again.

I loved the end too, with the backdoor and the scene at the radio station.

Laura, Paul, Laura, Paul

You first, no you first

hahaha, it's like you are watching two little children haha

kismet · 02-21-2005, 10:07 AM

I liked Maddie's interaction with Paul. They seemed very natural together. Chalk it up to more chemistry between Cybill and a male actor.
AND I still think that BW did the voiceover in the beginning with his voice disguised.

"I said bite, not eat!"

"From the bottom, all you men look alike."

MulberryGal · 02-21-2005, 11:13 AM

I love this episode... It's classic ML - David getting jealous over a 'dead' man, Maddie feeling hemmed in and wanting to fly to another country and hide under the bed...

And I love how whenever they're on a case at this point, they hold hands all the time...great stuff..
