I recently made a copy of the The Big Bang for a friend, and came across an intro that aired in between Maddie's Turn to Cry and I'm Curious Maddie.
There was, of course, a rerun after MTTC, and the episode that aired was The Man Who Cried Wife. Well, TPTB put a special intro on this one - just in case, you thought you were tuning in for the resolution of MTTC....geez, ya think.
Anyhoo....here's what was said in the intro:
{Picture a generic looking man in a suit, sitting on a chair in front of a blue wall, holding a large binder on his lap. His air is that of a mousey man.}
"Hello. My name is Harvey Needleman. I'm an orthodontist from Ft. Lee, New Jersey. A couple of nights ago, I got this damndest call from the producers of Moonlighting. I'd read in the newspapers how Cybill Shepherd was pregnant, and Bruce Willis had broken his collar bone. I mean, I knew these folks were under a little pressure, but I couldn't figure out why they were calling me. Harv, they said...you're a guy, right? You're not gonna get pregnant, right? I said, yeah, right. You ever participate in any contact sports? Ever broken any major bones in your body? I said, no. In fact, I've never even been in a car accident. Then they said, Harv, you're our guy. America's waiting to find out what happens between Maddie and Dave, and Sam. And we need you to help us out. So, here I am....Now, what they asked me to do in lieu of actually being able to show you what happens, is to sit here and read to you from tonight's script. (holds up the script binder) So anyway, here goes...
Fade in. Int. Maddie's office: Day
David blasts in through the door...."
{At that moment, a huge stage light falls on Harvey and he's thrown to the floor. Opening credits begin for The Man Who Cried Wife.}
Boy, when that aired....I wanted to throw a light at the tv. The suspense was killing everyone. And leave it to Glenn to make us agonize just a little longer.
