What are your top 10 favorite ML episodes and what makes each one a favorite?

[Addison's girl]

#1 To Heiress Human: who can resist a half naked David? And seeing how Maddie can NOT stay away from David's sexual magic makes this my top favorite episode!

#2 Maddie's Turn to Cry: What's not to like about this episode? Maddie realizing that she is in love David and trying to get him to tell her why he came to the restaurant to interrupt her dinner with Sam. Who can ever forget Maddie showing up at David's apartment in her nightgown and sneakers (for sneaking). Her reaction when she first steps into his place is priceless. "What is this place? You have no furniture; no lights..." LOl and of course David telling her he does most of his entertaining in the bedroom. Thud. But then this scene evolves into Maddie trying to pry David's feelings out of him and leading to their first real loving kiss. So sweet and delicious. I love how Maddie leans into David like she wants the kiss to continue and she can't get enough of him. I also love the chase scene; it is hilarious. And David parading around in those ripped grey sweats commando is an added bonus.
#3 The Son Also Rises: This is one of my favorites for so many reasons. I love how happy they are to see each other after their vacations apart. How adorable does Bruce look with his almost crew cut? It was so nice to see how happy and care free Maddie seems and how she can't wait to get to work to see HIM. I love the way David asks Dipesto when they are playing with the pinata. "Maddie in?" and I adore their banter and conversation when they first see each other again. I love how he asks her to go to his dad's engagement party with him and how happy Maddie is that he asked her. And the looks are smoldering. I enjoyed seeing another part of David's life and his interaction with his dad. I like to think that they were a real couple in this episode and it seemed it was a great way to start season 3 with such hope and titillation. I just LOVED it. LOLLL ;D
#4 Maddie Hayes Got Married: I can't help but find this episode absolutely hilarious. David's little laugh when he first sees Walter is priceless. The conversation about forging a bond with Walter is pure snide David. How Maddie tries to hide her feelings about David and pretends she is in love with Walter is both sad and very funny. David's interactions with Terry is bittersweet; he's trying so hard to hide his hurt from Terry but doesn't quite pull it off. The bachelor party is hysterical with Viola pretending to be a stripper. How drunk were those men? I love the scene at the church when Maddie first sees David with Terry. It shows how much she is still in love with him. She is crazed with jealousy and can think of nothing but finding out who 'that woman with David' is and if he was boinking her when they were almost getting pregnant. The scene in the hospital is uproarious. But most of all the speech Maddie makes to David at the end and her saying she loves him is great great. Sigh.
#5 and #6 (a dead heat) My Fair David and I Am Curious Maddie
My Fair David: This is a classic episode and the epitome of Moonlighting. Maddie is disgusted and annoyed by David's immature behavior. They make a bet that he can act like a mature adult for a week. As the days drag on Maddie missed the old David who is no longer fun, spontaneous or DAVID. Agnes is angry at Maddie and who can forget the great great Dipesto line: "You de-daved him!" And an added bonus the steamy hot door scene when they discuss the bet. THUD. Maddie never looked hotter and the way she looks at David is sizzling. Clark is Alive. Clark is Alive. What ML fan could forget her happiness as she cried this line. But was he alive? Who cares.
I Am Curious Maddie: Just the idea that this episode was supposed to be titled The Big Bang says it all! This was the first time Maddie and David got horizontal in a very torrid and emotional sex scene. Bitch..Bastard. But there are other gems in this episode that I enjoy over and over. Maddie backing David in to a corner as she demands to know how he feels about her and David remaining mum (why oh why?). How hot does Bruce look in this scene? WOW. I love the scene of Maddie and Agnes in the bar (I did read that this scene was supposed to be in another episode BMOM? but to me it fits so well in IACM). How Agnes keeps mentioning David...lol oh and her lines are hilarious. "Is this the self-serve aisle?" "People are thirsty down here." Maddie's face as Dipesto throws back the liquor are funny. / The scene when Maddie finds David in her bed and the goodbye grope speech allow us to see that Maddie does love David too. Although, the idea of her wanting to boink Sam one last time bothers me. and then: The hottest and most awaited love scene of all time! ;D
#7 Blonde on Blonde: The first episode in the Sam Arc and leading to the Big Bang! And the episode where David finally realizes his deep love for Maddie. The scenes between Maddie and David with him urging her to tell him what is bothering her are very well acted. His face when she tells him she wants to "..be bad...just find a man..." David is appalled, shocked and jealous.David chasing after Maddie is funny and who doesn't love a dirty David? The scene at the jail with Donna Dixon is great. But how hopeful were we when we first viewed this episode? Finally, David knocking on her door to reveal his feelings and how shocked and let down when a man answered. David's tears mixed with the rain are heart breaking. A wonderful episode!
#8 The Bride of Tupperman: Perfect Moonlighting. David and Maddie competing to see who could find the best wife for their client. David is David and wants to find a young, hot sex God while Maddie wants to find a woman who will be a decent wife. The car scene when Maddie is reading the list and David is commenting on it is hysterical. The different paths that David and Maddie take to find the perfect wife underscores their differences and the differences between the sexes. Bruce looks hot < Cybill looks gorgeous and the chase scene is hilarious. One of the best!
#9 Big Man on Mulberry Street: What's not to like about this episode? We get to see into more of David's past when he reveals that he had been married. The scene with Maddie and Agnes is pure gold. Agnes: He's gay isn't he? That's better than gay! Maddie's dream is great great: Bruce's dance number is adorable and their kissing scene is hot.We see how much Maddie does care about David when she follows him to NY. The scene in the hotel room between David and Maddie is so intimate and brings their relationship to another level. Bruce's acting is superb. I love how Maddie listens so intently when David is telling her about Tess and how her voice catches when she says 'Sorry.' She loves him! The argument between them when he doesn't want to take her to the funeral is very funny. And the cherry on top is the way she looks at him in the airplane; with so much love and longing. Great great episode. Oh I can't forget to mention Billy Joel and is wonderful songs!
#10 Witness for the Execution: Their first 'real' kiss! Love how we see how Maddie's affection for David growing from the beginning when she wakes up with a smile looking forward to seeing David after a long weekend through her despair when she thinks she will never see him again..how elated she is when his name is cleared and then how sad she looks when dopey Dave practically tells her to forget the kiss (she's covered for the next time..). I love how Maddie is supportive and never throws the 'I told you' so card at him. So many great lines for us essed fans: Gotta go. Don't go., Mediocre minds. A classic.

Subject to change on any given day...but here you are:

Moonlighting Top 10

1. MTTC: Perfect episode, perfect acting, great case, we get angst, we get lots of M&D together, we get Maddie running after David, their first real intended kiss, David in sweatpants and they end up together and happy in the end. What more could you ask for!?!?

2. Blonde on Blonde: Beautiful episode, great acting, beautifully lit - the actors look their best here. Great story, we get to see into what Maddie is feeling and David pining after her - also we learn that David is indeed in love with Maddie - of course we get cream pied in the end, but that's just pure Moonlighting. Love this episode, love the scene in her office between them before she storms out - "Talk to me" "Talk to you?" Dying.

3. THH: Post sex Maddie and David and a great case. Love how they can't keep their hands off each other, love the scene in the car how he melts her with his words. My only wish is that they could have been happy post-sex for just a little while.

4. IACM: For the sex scene alone.

5. The Son Also Rises: I love how happy Maddie is in this episode, I love season three and this is a great start. We get a peek inside David's life and Maddie is there once again to support him. They seem like a couple here - it's what they'd be like if they were really dating. love.

6. BMOMS: I love the entire scene in the hotel with them from when he finds her there to when he leaves for the funeral - such great acting. They're both beautiful, we get a great kiss from them, good story, more insight into David and we see Maddie is discovering she has feelings for him.

7. Witness: I love how they completely disagree, David does what he wants, but when things go wrong he goes to Maddie and she helps him without hesitation. Love the angst when they are apart - and how she wants him back. So cute how he keeps showing up at her house in the middle of the night and of course, the first kiss!

8. EFDIAV: Again, M&D seem like a couple here, him meeting her parents and how much David wants to help Maddie. Love the talk they have in the car and how he's trying to save her any pain. Cybill is great in this episode, she carries it, she fully knows her character here and the acting is strong.

9. All Creatures: I think this is a oft forgotten about and underrated episode. I love M&D here, I love how they look, they are pure Maddie and David, they have a great conversation about how close they are and how they'd have to count on each other. Good case…we learn more about them and their points of view as people.

10.Dream Sequence: Because they are so damn sexy and it's fun to watch, it's a comfort if I am feeling down and I put it on..I just love to look at them here.

Yes, MHGM is a great episode too...love Maddie apologizing to D in the end. That is a funny line about..."did you know she was pregnant when you and I were almost getting pregnant?" In the commentary they said so much was going on behind the scenes with Cybill and GGC it's amazing they pulled together such a great episode.

[haddiemayes]

mmm. Ive been putting this off because I had to think long and hard about my choices, the trouble is ( apart from the season we dare not mention! lol) that they are all my favourites in one way or another. But I must try and pick 10 so here goes.....

1# To Heiress Human.= this episode has everything in my book, sex-drama-comedy and a butt-naked David! Davids caramel voice when he`s seducing Maddie in the car is unbelievably sexy!. And of course the "is it safe" talk . I could go on for hours about this ep but then I would run out of time for the rest.

2# The Big Bang= now although the episode took forever to get to the good stuff! it was well worth the wait for me. just seeing Sam being slapped down by Maddie was great. and seeing David so clearly upset about the proposal just makes my heart bleed for him! again this ep has great sexual tension .a terrific build up to the main event and lots of lips and tongues - what more could a girl ask for.

3# Father Knows Last= Right I had to place this at 3 just for Davids speech on the plane -alone. It was one of those pivotal moments for me. it just blew me away, the passion he uses when he is talking to mr hayes is Oscar worthy! and this one also has my favourite line too. Berts "you knocked up the boss" line.

4# Maddies Turn To Cry= watching maddie realise her feelings for david is a sight to behold! we see her wrestle with her heart and her head and possibly a region south of her belly button! loll and well.... the trunk kiss. I have watched , watched watched and re-watched that kiss so many times over the years and it still makes me go weak at the knees.

5#Twas... This is a great feel good episode, whenever I need cheering up I put this one on and it works everytime. love seeing maddie and david with a baby( even if it isn't their own one!) we see a tiny glimpse of what they might have been like as parents. and davids talk in the car about maddie being a great mother is just...... .
and the icing on the Christmas cake is the end when everyone is singing and we get to see them step out of character and with the kiss at the end.... it makes me all warm and mushy inside. .

6# Dream.... now when I saw way back when I think I was too young to appreciate this episode( apart from the kissing I didn't really like it) but now im older and wiser I have found a new love for this one. they both look so great in black and white. the plot might not be the sharpest but it does reflect whats going on in maddies and davids world. and I have to mention the window kiss.... wowzer!!!
and when david call madde the sexiest sexist. ... his panty dropping vocals.

7# In and Out Laws . now I know not everyone likes the couch scene but for me it pushes all of my buttons !! loll all I can say is , boy can that man thrust or what!!.

8# The Son.... like addisons girl mentioned. I love how they both look so beautiful and refreshed at the beginning of the ep, I think cybill was at her most beautiful here. and the way they are flirting here just seems so bruce and cybill to me. wonderful!

9# The Pilot. does that count? anyhow I love watching them coming together for the first time ( but not the last .. wink wink !! loll) I always melt when I watch them dancing in the bar and Davids "cmere! line ....ooh goose pimples , only he can deliver that line like that!. story is average but who cares! when we have these two young gorgeous people on our screens making wonderful magic together.

10# A Womb.... please don't shoot me but apart from the horrible ending( which I always turn off ) I like this ep. seeing david in a diaper cracks me up, and we finally get conformation that yes david is the father( even though we all knew anyway!) love the baby shower love seeing them actually happy together. even though it was short lived.

well there you have it ... my top 10.

[Deleted]

#1: The Big Bang, of course!!! Not only for THE scene (but mainly LOL), but also for the great acting of both, the emotions, the perfectly build-up tension... okay, forget it. If everything about this episode was crap, the final scene would make it my number one, now and for ever.

#2: MTTC
The trunk scene, of course. Everything about it is perfection. And I love the I hate yous. Wonderful.

#3: Dream Sequence
I've loved it when I saw it for the first time, and I still love it. And there first kiss (even if it wasn't THEM) will be engraved forever in my mind. The first kiss (which is my fave of all the kisses in this ep) might look a little old fashioned, but I find it incredibly hot. Confused, huh? Melts me every time...

Plus, the classic sexiest sexist banter. Must be on my list.

#4: Witness
Their first real kiss. And so many emotions. I love especially the vulnerable and emotional side of Maddie we get to see here. And here starts the never-ending dance: don't go - gotta go - don't go - gotta go...

#5: Big Man
She followed him to New York. That's all. And we know it's love.

#6: Next Murder You Hear
To me, the first "real" ML episode - the episode where ML really became ML and where (especially) Bruce really and truly became David. And we catch a glimpse of what is to come... oh, and of course another classic car conversation: boink-boink-boink...

#7: To Heiress Human
Oh, it ends season 3 on such a hopeful note... but let's not go there. Making and breaking pacts, a panty-melting David, and that car conversation... Oh David, David, David! You need a gun license for this voice.

#8: My Fair David
Oh, how sexy is this betting scene? And how hot is Maddie here?? Well, David too, of course, but who would have thunk it that Maddie could be so flirtatious? Aww, too bad he didn't really suggest sex...

#9: Maddie Hayes Got Married
Set a wonderful, hopeful end to the Walter arc. Poor Terri (I adore her!) spat out what we all think: "For God's sake, will you two kiss already?!"

#10: Atlas
I just love what they both do for each other in this episode!

Okay, that's my list as for now - it's not carved in stone, it may vary due to my mood or the episode I've just been watching this does not go for the top 3 though - they are carved in stone.
