Frontier the Cammille episode aired in Greece. It aired in ERT, in the mid 1980s, where it was originally broadcasted and then some years later (early 1990s) it aired on Mega Channel. I am not sure if it is correct but there were reruns from Star Channel in the mid 1990s. All the episodes aired. The problem was that initially when ERT aired the episodes, kinda mixed the right order. The reason is simple. When ERT picked up the series from ABC, it picked Seasons One - Two - Three. Now, when ERT was broadcasting Moonlighting it started September from season One and then went to season two and gave us some episodes from season three. Confusing? Well not really just keep the following order in your mind. ERT followed the right order (if my memory serves me correct) up to the episode "Funeral for a Door Nail" Maybe, I can not remember, they may have shifted the Xmas episode for obvious reasons. But after the "Funeral for a Door Nail" they went and gave us the first two episodes from season Three and then closed with "Camille" That is some weird network decision isn't it? Yes it is, and I bet many people kinda went (what the .... ) when that happened. The reason that they did it and it wqas obvious later on. ERT wanted to kick off the new season with "Symphony in Knocked Flat" which was a groundbreaking episode as far as ratings go in Greece at that time.

Dave, my memories of Moonlighting when it first aired from ERT are vague; you'd probably be right, but I cannot remember if the final scene with Maddie waving at David - which I remember I saw then - was from Camille or from Lunar Eclipse.
I positively do not remember Moonlighting airing at Mega Channel (it started broadcasting in Chios from 1993 onwards) and I am 100% sure that Moonlighting NEVER aired at Star Channel (I know because I watched it since the first day it started).
Anyway, it would be nice if Moonlighting re-appears in Greece, but I do not know how this could happen and from which channel.

Frontier, I aggree with you that it would be nice to have the Moonlighting episodes airing again. But it seems that such will not be the task unless for example Mega Channel airs them in the wee small hours.

I need to correct my impression as stated in Reply 8 to this thread where I commented on Cybill's auto choice at the end of the episode.
I just read an old People Magazine article where whe was actually driving a 7-8 year old Caddy around this time so her trading it in for a Dodge K car was not out of the question. I forget sometime that our girl does not feel the need to follow the conventional policy.
By this time she had been at the peak, and had headed back to Memphis and onto small theater work, refining her craft. She just scraped by and was making sure she was financially secure for herself and her (then) little girl. Even though she was now earning a decent sum on ML, she was wise with her cash.
That was a silly comment of mine saying that movie stars don't drive economy cars. Cyb knew that her star power was by the quality of her work, not a result of what wheels she ran errands in. If she ever reads this post, I hope she accepts my apology.
Bruce, however DID own a Vette. The article said an early 80s, but I suspect he may have traded up to the mid year (63-67) shown in the last scene. THAT was a sweet ride. (Yes, I own a mid year Corvette convertible myself, so I know of what I speak)

Gray, I remember reading your post #8 a good while ago and didn't take it as you slighting our (your ) Cybill at all. And you are right ,as far as what we can tell about her, she probably didn't give a "flying fig" what other people thought about her choice of cars. One of the reasons why I love her!!

It is DEFINITELY not only you. "CAMILLE" remains one of my least favorite episodes for a myriad of reasons, chief among them the brevity of scenes between David and Maddie and what I consider sloppy writing, especially toward the end. Ironically when I was working on the FOX lot, about ten years after ML was cancelled, I was introduced to Roger Director's assistant at the time. When I mentioned my and my sister's abiding love for the show she very sweetly (and totally unsolicited) had Roger sign copies of, you guessed it, "CAMILLE" for both of us. I still have mine. Hope I don't sound ungracious -- just being honest.
