Poltergeist III - Dipesto Nothing - Part Two
SYNOPSIS:
Maddie and David have decided to give Herbert Viola more responsibility by putting him in charge of more cases. Agnes is not happy to hear this, as he has been at Blue Moon for only two and a half months and she has worked for Maddie and David for five years. A very feisty Agnes goes to Maddie’s office and tells them both that in those five years, she’s had only one day off and has been late just three times, only one of which was her fault. She has also taken pay cuts in bad times and has never asked for a raise. Maddie and David try to weasel their way out of it by downplaying Herbert’s role.
Margaret Renbourn arrives at Blue Moon to hire the detectives to find proof that her house is haunted. Unbelievably, Maddie and David agree that they should not take this case. Upon hearing this, and without informing her bosses, Agnes decides to take the case on her own. Bert tells Agnes that he didn't just fall off a turnip truck and that he knows what she is up to. Agnes and Bert end up joining forces and solve the case.

The Straight Poop - Part Two
"NO NEW EPISODE AGAIN, AND AMERICA WANTS TO KNOW WHY." - RONA BARRETT.
Many other programs have done clip shows that reflect past seasons' best moments. But Moonlighting liked to do things differently. Would we have it any other way?
This episode begins with gossip columnist Rona Barrett, who has arrived at the studio to ask why there is no new episode of Moonlighting (as was so common). Rona enters the offices of Blue Moon to get “The Straight Poop.” She finds out that Maddie and David have not been talking to one another and have locked themselves in their offices.
As Rona talks with Maddie, David, Miss Dipesto, and Bert Viola, clips from previous episodes provide examples of the cast’s answers to her questions.
The episode ends with Maddie and David promising that there will be a new episode next week—and they “kiss and make up.”

Cybill Shepherd - Actress & Singer
In this Bonus Interview Episode of Moonlighting The Podcast, Shawna and Grace were very excited and thrilled to have Cybill Shepherd join them.
She talks about her life with Film Director Peter Bogdanovich, having Orson Welles as a house guest, and behind-the-scenes details about the Moonlighting set and so much more.
Originally from Memphis Tennessee, at the age of 16, she won the Miss Teenage Memphis title. Soon she was being cast in various modelling campaigns and became the “it” girl on the cover of magazines such as Teen and Glamour.
In 1970 Director, Peter Bogdanovich saw Cybill’s image on a glamour magazine, THIS, moment sealed her future in the limelight. He cast her in his upcoming movie “The Last Picture Show” which was a major success. She went on to do “The Heartbreak Kid”, “Daisy Miller”, “At Long Last Love”, and then another success “Taxi Driver”.
In 1983 Cybill was cast in the NBC television drama “The Yellow Rose.”
In 1985 she was approached by Glenn Gordon Caron to star as Madolyn Hayes in a “hawksian” style comedy called Moonlighting. (Referring to the American Director, Howard Hawks.)
Since then she’s gone on to do numerous movies such as “Chances Are” in 1989.
Cybill has appeared in many TV shows but in 1995 Cybill got her own sitcom called “Cybill” which ran from 1995-1998.
In 2000 Cybill released her autobiography called “Cybill Disobedience” which became a best-seller.
She appeared in 19 episodes of the series “The L Word” alongside her daughter Clementine, from 2007-2009.
In 2012 Cybill made her Broadway debut in “The Best Man."
Most recently she starred in “Being Rose” in 2017, and in 2023 she starred in “How to Murder Your Husband: The Nancy Brophy Story.”
And she shows no signs of stopping!
Please enjoy this special bonus episode with the very beautiful Cybill Shepherd!
A very special thank you to Glenn Gordon Caron, Executive Producer, Moonlighting.

It's a Wonderful Job - Part Two
SYNOPSIS:
This classic episode, very popular with Moonlighting fans, is an homage to the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, made in 1946 and starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. In the movie, an angel is sent down from heaven to show a frustrated businessman what life would have been like if he never existed.
Maddie is forced to make her employees work over Christmas due to one of their client’s court cases being moved up to December 28. After a lively and angry discussion with the employees and David, Maddie snaps and says, “I wish I’d never kept this place open. Then we’d see how cocky you’d be; then we’d see.” While sitting in a bar, she meets a man. Unbeknown to her, this man is an angel sent down from heaven to show her what life would be like without her.
The angel begins to take her to see people and places she knows, showing her what paths they took and how successful they are because Maddie never existed. Maddie now wants her agency back. She wants everything back to the way it was now that she has seen the life of her friends without her. The episode ends with another passionate kiss between Maddie and David (which is what Moonlighting fans love!). They then turn to the camera and say, “And to all a goodnight.”

Customer Reviews
Soooo interesting
I’m recently reliving my youth via the Moonlighting DVD’s and this podcast is a brilliant companion . So much information and really fun insights .
Highly recommended
More Moonlighting!
I’m new to Moonlighting, but love experiencing it for the first time with this 21st Century twist. Grace and Shawna are so funny and detailed. I love the sound bites they add in from the actual show. Love the opening theme music too…puts me in the mood for more Moonlighting!
