Kirpianuscus it remains an event. episode by episode. line by line. because it has the perfect lead actors. and the perfect music. and the perfect stories. because it is an eulogy of fine irony and example of smart humor. because it is memorable. and nice. and lovely. and special. and this did it an event. because it gives a familiar and, in same measure, eccentric universe. because it is a museum of stereotypes and love and competition and clash between two different characters who, step by step, becomes one. so, a great series. and nothing more.
SnoopyStyle Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) is a former model best known for being the Blue Moon Shampoo girl. She wakes up one morning to find all her money stolen by her crooked accountant Ron Sawyer. All she has left are various money-losing businesses used as tax losses. One of them is City of Angels Detective Agency run by smart alack David Addison (Bruce Willis). She closes him down. He is trying to convince her to keep the agency open when a dangerous murder case literally falls into her lap. She relents as he renames it, the Blue Moon Detective Agency. She is desperate to make her business profitable but he is more concerned about gaining media notoriety. Agnes DiPesto (Allyce Beasley) is the wacky rhyming receptionist. Temp worker Herbert Quentin Viola (Curtis Armstrong) joins the team in the third season.The banter between Maddie and David is electric rapid-fire. She would call it "conversational harikari". It is irreverent. They have segments breaking down the 4th wall. They often reference themselves as a real TV show. It is tongue in cheek. Breakout star Bruce Willis is at his Bruno best. Cybill and Bruce have the perfect rom-com banter. The will-they-won't-they is a lot of fun. I laughed harder in the second season than almost anything else ever on TV. It is the best until late in the third season.The consummation of their relationship is often blamed for the show's decline. It's rather simplistic. The problems go much deeper. The show gets darker and their relationship gets more melodramatic. The fourth season starts with Maddie running home to Chicago and revealing her pregnancy. The humor is lost especially since the two are separated. It's an attempt to work around a couple of things; Cybill Shepherd's real life pregnancy, and Bruce Willis' fledgling movie career. As great as the first two plus years, the fourth year is notable for its missteps. It's a warning for TV writers everywhere. The show nosedived and never recovered. Compounding the problem are two additional moves in an attempt to return the show back to its first position. Maddie's quickie marriage and their baby's death are the last straws. This show climbed quickly and plummeted catastrophically. While it was good, it was an audience favorite.
Viktor Vedmak (realvedmak) OK, maybe Unbreakable is near it as far as roles he should have ran like the wind from, other than that, the worst crap he ever acted in.His role reads like it was written by failed middle aged woman who has no concept of real relationships between men and women. Perhaps woman that married guy she did not really click with and reads romance novels.His character is a WEAK man. They went for type of a guy that never really grew up, would be good with children, is sensitive ... in other words shallow dream of a lonely woman, a beta, not a real man at all and not what mentally well adjusted woman would want.I hated the show, my wife hated the show, my sister hated the show, my mother hated the show, and I could not find a single person on my FB friends list who could say a nice thing about this piece of crap.Receptionist character is horrible too. Nobody sane would stay 5 minutes in room with her.Cybil's character is just typical failure of a lonely middle aged woman who still thinks she has it, when she lost it long time ago.Very unmemorable show, which is why after 30 years there are so few votes on it.My personal biggest objection is amount of breaking fourth wall they do. It felt like cheap comedy act that gets boo'd, not something starring Bruce Willis. Disappointing!
Armand a special series. for the chemistry between lead actors. for the adorable art of Allyce Beasley to give to her character charm and innocence, for music and humor of David, for adventures and for teenage air who, after years, remains its basic value. a window to another world because it represents more than an ordinary series but a garden of memories. sure, relation between characters has a long tradition but it is very different by each model. Bruce Willis , with hair and out the action films circle, Cybill Shephert in a cold skin of role, Curtis Armstrong as perfect spice and the events in clothes of memorable song. its great secret - science to be comedy, drama and thriller in a personal manner, as a delicious, refreshing summer salad.
