"I would even go so far as to say that the car was a supporting character. " I love this Diane. So true. That car almost seems like their child. I get so sentimental on the rare occassion I see a BMW from that era. I believe the last car scene we got with just the 2 of them was in Perfetc. This almost seems fitting as Perfetc was supposed to be the season ender. (I can't thank you enough for sharing that bit of information with us!) OMG DIane so true! I agree too! That car was like their baby in a way! Yes a supporting charater 100% So much did happen in it! That car got beat up along with thme in thier relationship Yes i get melacholy too 1987 when i see BMWs period. & I owned one of those cars for a brief time about 5 years ago, It was a 1985 converitible bu same type BMW series as the one they drove. I loved driving around in it and felt all mushy inside while i had it but unfortnatley it kept breaking down on me & i had to get rid of it. It broke my heart!

Sandra - I am sorry I am so late to replying to your wonderful list of scenes. What an enjoyable read. I loved it. I don't think we had a scene that was the same but each of yours I found myself saying "yeah! That is a great one, why didn't it make mine?!"
The hospital scene in MHGH is one often overlooked by me - probably because I was still pouting big time over the Walter intrusion. But, it really is an amazing scene with so much emotion, fast dialogue and well, Bruce in a tux. I enjoyed you breaking it down and your description made me appreciate it more. I do remember watching for the 1st time and at that kiss my pout begin to thaw. An aside: I also remember like it was yesterday Bruce being interviewed on a morning show the summer of 1988 (he was promoting Die Hard) and being asked about this scene. The interveiwer (Joan Lunden, maybe) intimated that Moonlighting had lost it's footing and were now giving us unbelievable, kooky scenes (and they showed this scene). I clearly remember Bruce stiffening and answering quite curtly - like he was insulted. He defended the show and its direction and that was good to hear.
I loved your description of Witness. I think I am definitely in the minority here though when I say I like the presence of that huge 80s purse of hers. It was such an intense moment and it seemed to me like the purse was maintaining a purposeful barrier that kept their 1st kiss just between them. It also keeps us guessing to this day as to what kind of kiss it was exactly.
Finally, the car scene in THH is so hot and enjoyable to watch and you summed it up great. I love just as much though the idea of Maddie getting a call from him in the middle of the night and going to the police station. Oh, she certainly didn't have to and she didn't need to get so pretty in the middle of the night either, now did she? No, she wanted to go and she certainly wanted that conversation to take a turn. Pact-breaker that she was.
Great job Sandra!

Thanks 1987,
for your kind words. You're right with what you say about season 4 of course - the scene from MHGM is probably my favorite scene from S 4 and makes up for a lot of the bad stuff. Thanks for sharing that bit about Bruce's interview - it's really nice to hear how he defended the show. Seems absurd to chose just that scene to show how weird the show had become, I think itw as just a funny and cathartic scene, and one that made you think that now maybe, just maybe they were on their straight road back again.

Am I right in thinking that's the last of the lists now? In which case shall I put together some statistics so we can see which scenes were our favourite favourites? I'm a librarian, you can trust me to provide accurate unbiased reporting

Oh yes stayedinmostly, pleeeeease!!! One helluva job, though! I did the statistics on the top 6 epi thread, but with the scenes it must be much much more difficult! Please do that!

Hi - sorry I'm late reading the second half of your posts SIM - just wanted to say that I really loved them :-) I too am glad that you included so many scenes from series 3- it's funny, as I know that most of my pics were from all over the place, but my favourite series is definitely 3! It starts and ends so well! Thanks again xx

Ok, I am going to introduce a spurious element of suspense by leaving it until tomorrow to declare which was our single favourite scene.
In the meantime I can reveal the season which got more votes for favourite scenes than any other was... Season 3! With 50 votes in total! Big round of applause, please.
Runners up: Season 2: 23 scenes, which received 40 votes in total Season 4: 13 scenes, 25 votes Season 1 (inc. Pilot) 11 scenes, 14 votes Season 5: 5 scenes, 6 votes
The single episode which supplied the largest number of scenes was .... The Pilot, with 5 different scenes which were voted as favourites.
Runners up: To Heiress Human with four different scenes Witness for the Execution, and Lady with the Iron Mask, with three different scenes
Any questions from the class so far?

well, sandra, I'll put it simply: You have wit; you have style; and you got class, kid. One of my favorite parts of your presentation is how you finish off some eloquent, flowing descriptions with . . . "nuff said." Totally unexpected, as that phrase would ordinarily be found after a single sentence. I love your irony, and I love your writing. Nuff said. I hope.

well, sandra, I'll put it simply: You have wit; you have style; and you got class, kid. I agree. I've just re-read your description of the kiss in Witness , definitely one of the highlights of this project - you so completely got to the heart of the scene. (Though, back in statistics mode, the kiss scene only got 5 votes as favourite.) In fact you may not be too surprised to hear that the favourite scene overall was... The Big Bang itself, from I Am Curious ... Maddie, with 9 votes. Runners up: The declaration on the plane, from Father Knows Last, with 8 votes The trunk scene, in Maddie's Turn to Cry, with 7 votes And we had 44 scenes which received only one vote, proving once again why it is such a great show, because there's such a wide variety of things to love about it.
