i think all ML fans must share a brain...i would tape every epsiode and watch them over and over and over. and in school, i would write dialogue in my notebook instead of notes. this show influenced a lot of musical tastes too. i love motown and patsy cline. i'd say, symphony in knocked flat, the man who cried wife, IACM, Dream sequence, witness, and the lady in the iron mask are big ones in my head. my friend's brother would always ask during dinner if anyone wanted to play Twister. :)and, of course, the pilot. but, when i first saw it, mr. mohawk scared me. i was only 7. who knew that i'd become such a fan when i said i would never watch that show again. hahaha i used to beg my mom to let me stay up and watch w/ her. it's still my all-time favorite.
can't forget brother, can you spare a Blonde?

Hi everyone, i may have already mentioned this but for those in the cheap seats .My all time favourite episode has to be To Heiress Human.Why? because it has everything a moonlighting fan could want from an episode. Fighting+bantering +making up +making out plus the icing on the cake = David in the buff! ;D

To Heiress Human was absolutely great!
I think one of the top ML episode moments for me - and possibly the very top one - is the entire scene between D/M in IACM from Maddie's speech to "Sam" in her bedroom to the end. I loved David and Maddie's argument and their finally coming together. The rolling around on the floor and breaking furniture didn't do much for me but everything else about that big scene was awesome. ~~ Actually this whole ep is good from the beginning to the end. A lot of tension, a lot of passion, very dramatic and some humor. I mean, I even enjoyed Maddie's argument with Sam in the car. Everything!
The dance number and Maddie's speech to David and his speechless reaction in BM on Mulberry S.
All of "Maddie Hayes Got Married." That episode was hilarious! And ended so sweetly.
"Symphony" was very funny too and D/M actually went out on a date.
Previously I posted that I didn't like "A Trip to the Moon," that it was depressing. Well, I actually like the first argument at Maddie's house, and the date-at-the-laundromat scene (the first audible exchange of "I love you"s are spoken!)
Maddie's Turn to Cry - the sweet kiss and the milk truck chase.
And there's more but I have to stop here. I told you I couldn't choose!

For me: Saeson 1 Pilot-- when Maddie steals a look at David while playing his harmonica in the office and when they dance for the first time in the bar. David is smitten right then and there!!!
The Next Murder You Hear-- David's bar scene
Season 2 Money Talks--- on the floor outside of the casino where he leans in for a kiss, but kisses her hand instead.
My Fair David--- David mimics Maddie behind her back
Atlas Belched-- the scene on the stairs at Maddie's house
Every Father's Daughter-- Maddie's scene with her father in the hotel room
Witness-- THE kiss!
Season 3 Son Also Rises-- first morning back from vacation--- they so missed each other......and so did all of us!!!
Man Who Cried Wife--slap scene and the "spontaneous" dream sequence
Symphony in Knocked Flat-- scene where David picks up Maddie for date
Big Man-- liked the dance, but really like when David comes in Maddie's room and asks why she came all that way------her saying "I don't know" has always been very telling to me. She says that a lot.
Wonderful Job-- Maddie's realization that David moved on without her and what she missed.
Blonde on Blonde-- jail scene where David finally admits to himself his true feelings for Maddie. We can see it on his face. A tribute to Bruce's ability.
Maddie's Turn to Cry--- kiss on the trunk.
IACM-- the big arguement and then that first kiss........yowza!!
Season4 Father Knows Last-- big speech from David to Mr. Hayes on plane
Tracks--- Maddie returns to office and we see her first make eye contact with David....the look on their faces....omg!!
Ok, I tried to narrow it down!! LOL! ;D

My favorite is...the opening credits! lol. I honestly love the opening so much that when I'm in a Moonlighting mood, I can just youtube the opening credits of the earlier seasons and get my Moonlighting fix. The Al Jarreau song is so beautiful and the montage of shots, so very L.A., so very 1980s. Love it.
The episodes I've re-watched the most times are probably: "Read the Mind...See the Movie," about the psychic reader. Some really funny and memorable moments. "Money Talks...Maddie Walks" when she goes to South America to confront the accountant who stole all her money. "Every Daughters Father is a Virgin," because it has a lot of heart and gives me the chills in quite a few scenes.
