“Sam and Dave”

The soap opera Moonlighting continued with the episode “Sam and Dave” where Addison officially met Sam, Maddie’s ‘friend’ who was at her door last episode. Of course, Sam is played by Mark Harmon. 

I really don’t like the way this story progressed. It was just too dark for this show. Even the manner in which the show is being shot during these episodes make the mood much more dark. This episode drew a very negative comparison between David and Sam. It went out of the way to make Dave look bad and to made Sam look super-dooper. 

I was under the impression that David was an active drinker. I find it tough to believe he got as drunk as he did at the end of the show. 

Herbert Viola took another step to become the character I hate most on any show. He is such an annoying character and his treatment of Agnes is mean. I hated the ‘advice’ that David gave to Viola when Bert came to talk to him about women. 

The episode ended with a “To Be Continued” and it was clear that the show was moving along with this style.
