Possible 'Moonlighting' reunion film?
By LIZ SMITH

HAS IT really been 20 years since one of the most brilliant, sexy and funny TV shows ever went off the air? I do mean "Moonlighting," which launched the career of Bruce Willis and rescued the career of Cybill Shepherd. At its best -- the first three seasons, out of five -- nothing was wittier, more innovative, daring and enjoyable than watching Cybill and Bruce as detectives who were wildly attracted to each other, but fighting it. (There was contentious real-life drama on the set, too. I remember printing many a spicy item during those years.) The creator of "Moonlighting" was Glenn Gordon Caron, and a little bird tells us that Caron is hot to reunite Cybill and Bruce for a 20th anniversary "Moonlighting" TV movie. The most surprising aspect of this is that Bruce Willis, who went on to become one of the biggest movie stars in the world (still is), has shown definite interest. An insider says, "Bruce is ready to give it a go. He still holds a lot of fondness for the show. As for Cybill, she has never denied the occasional strife of "Moonlighting" (If you recall she became pregnant with twins during the run, a further burden on everybody's nerves) but always had a healthy respect for Bruce's talent, charisma and the quality of the series itself.
Cybill and Bruce ran into each other at a deli in Encino recently There were hugs, kissing, teasing; even a couple of misty moments as they reminisced. And, if a "Moonlighting" reunion gets off the ground, there is only one demand both Bruce and Cybill will make -- that Caron have creative control. Bringing David and Maddie back to life so many years later will be a daunting task. The stars feel only Caron can get it right.

That would be awesome.

I'm surprised they'd reunite them for a TV movie. You'd think they'd try to milk this as a theatrical feature.

Todays average movie-goer has no idea what Moonlighting is (15-25 year olds).

I say that since I'm a grumpy old man who can't stomach theaters anymore.

I loved Moonlighting when I was younger. Cybil was hot back then. I look forward to this.

15 year-olds, sure. They probably don't know much about Moonlighting. But I disagree that the average moviegoer wouldn't be familiar with it. A bigscreen Moonlighting if it were done as a sequel starring the original cast members would be huge. And who wouldn't wanna see Booger working again?

Awesome. I'd like a theatrical release, but a TV-movie would be great, too.

No Curtis Armstrong, No Sale!

No Alice Beasley, no sale... how can you have a Moonlighting reunion without Agnes Dipesto?

A reunion would be awesome!

It would be great to the two of them back together again... actually the four of them again.

How did the series end again? I only have Seasons 1 & 2 on DVD.

I'd watch it.

If they DO do a movie, you know that, halfway through it, they'll bring Mark Harmon into the story and it will start to suck.

One of my favorite shows! I would watch it just to see how the characters get back together

Time to bury the hatchet and do the movie.

Agreed! Fortunately, I'm sure Alice Beasley and Curtis Armstrong will be available.
