MOONLIGHTING: IT'S A WONDERFUL JOB (TV)
Summary
One in this comedic private detective series about David Addison and Maddie Hayes of the Blue Moon Detective Agency. In this reworking of both "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life," Maddie plays Scrooge to her office staff and insists that they work through Christmas. When they become irate, Maddie says that she wishes she had sold the agency two years ago. Later that night, her guardian angel, Albert, grants her wish and shows her what her life and the lives of others would have become in those two years. Ms. Dipesto has become a ruthless business mogul, while David Addison is now a successful but lonely millionaire. As Maddie witnesses her life without the Blue Moon Agency, she also discovers her own fate is not what she had expected. Includes commercials.
