“Gunfight at the So-So Corral”

The first regular length episode of the EYG Hall of Fame series Moonlighting was entitled “Gunfight at the So-So Corral” which was a typical pun that the show used as titles.

It also started the trope of the show where the cases that wind up with Dave and Maddie are not what they seem. This episode was not about a kind little old man who was searching for his estranged son, but instead one contract killer looking for another. Most of the Moonlighting cases had a twist to them.

This episode had some major iconic moments, including the “Do Wah Diddy” scene that David was trying to get Maddie ready to go inside a dive bar with the worst people. That moment that she walks into the bar and David immediately realizes that she has more than enough attitude was one of the best of the episode.

We establish more of the banter between David and Maddie as they find themselves disagreeing about just about everything and yet you can tell how much they are starting to need each other through the little moments such as David offering to wait in the car for Maddie to tell their client that his “son” was a contract killer. Of course, she did not tell him and it lead to another argument between the pair of them.

Of course, we knew already that the little old man had a background as we saw him defend himself against Tim Robbins in a hospital… in a bad ass way too as the man pulled along his IV as he fought off the killer.

In the end it was a great episode with some real emotion to it and it showed us more of the budding relationship with David and Maddie. Great start to Moonlighting on Hulu!
