Moonlighting/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Jumping the Shark]]: This was one of the earliest instances of writers getting the couple together, but [[Shipping Bed Death|having no idea how to write them as a couple]] and still keep their chemistry. The show foundered and tanked shortly thereafter. Also a contributing factor: various timing problems prevented Willis and Sheppard from being on set at the same time for a year.

Thanks to ''Moonlighting,'' though, the writers of every subsequent show have decided that they need to invent increasingly ridiculous obstacles to their leads getting together.
