Rumer Willis, the eldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, penned a heartbreaking Father's Day tribute to her dad amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia (Ftd). She admitted to finding the day "hard" in an emotionally charged message she composed in the caption of an Instagram post that featured a carousel of photos of her and her father over the years, including one of the Die Hard star with her daughter Louetta. She also expressed gratitude for the precious moments that she gets to spend with him, writing candidly:

"Today is hard, I feel a deep ache in my chest to talk to you and tell you everything I'm doing and what's going on in my life. To hug you and ask you about life and your stories and struggles and successes. I wish I asked you more questions while you could still tell me about it all. But...

Alf Clausen, the veteran composer recognized for his long-running, Emmy-winning work on nearly 600 episodes of The Simpsons, as well as the Bruce Willis-led drama series Moonlighting, died on Thursday at the age of 84 after a nearly decade-long battle with Parkinson’s disease. His daughter, Kaarin Clausen, announced his passing on social media. "He left a huge mark on this world and has touched the lives of millions, and I’m so proud to call him ‘Dad,’” she wrote in a longer tribute. “Rest easy, Maestro. I will miss you every day.”

Born on March 28, 1941, in Minneapolis, Clausen had a long background in music, earning degrees from North Dakota State University, the University of Wisconsin, and Boston’s Berklee College of Music before going on to study under Oscar-nominated composer Earle Hagen. He'd eventually move to Los Angeles in 1967, initially earning some extra money as a music copyist for films...

Alf Clausen, the veteran composer with two Emmy wins and 30 nominations whose whimsical scores brightened such television series as The Simpsons, Moonlighting and, purely coincidentally, Alf, has died. He was 84.

Clausen died Thursday at his Valley Village home in Los Angeles, his daughter, Kaarin Clausen, told The Hollywood Reporter. He was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy about eight years ago, she said.

From The Simpsons‘ second season in 1990 until its 28th in 2017, Clausen crafted many of the spirited melodies that contributed to the cutting-edge lunacy of the Fox animated show. From 23 Emmy nominations, he — along with lyricist Ken Keeler — won in 1997 and ’98 for the songs “We Put the Spring in Springfield” and “You’re Checkin’ In (A Musical Tribute to the Betty Ford Center).”

His harmonious relationship with the show would not last, however, with Clausen filing a lawsuit against Disney and Fox in August 2019 after he was dismissed from The Simpsons.

Dennis Quaid is the movie star who inexplicably never was. The Houston-born hellraiser with the devil-may-care grin flashed palpable leading man potential with his portrayal of the former star quarterback who finds a measure of redemption astride a bicycle in Peter Yates' wonderful coming-of-age sports flick "Breaking Away." This potential turned into a veritable guarantee of future A-list dominance when he swaggered his way through "The Right Stuff" as Project Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper. Who's the best actor you ever saw? You might just be looking at him.

Quaid was almost always great, but the films that were supposed to launch him to superstardom kept underperforming. Wolfgang Petersen's "Enemy Mine," an underrated sci-fi riff on "The Defiant Ones," was horribly mis-marketed by 20th Century Fox, Joe Dante's brilliant "Innerspace" got hung out to dry by Warner Bros. over the 1987 July 4th holiday, and Jim McBride's wild-sexy New Orleans noir "The Big Easy,...

Bruce Willis is celebrating his 70th birthday, and his daughter, Rumer Willis, has provided a positive update on her father's health amid his ongoing dementia battle. The Die Hard actor and ex-wife Demi Moore's eldest child, who is now 36, took to her Instagram Stories for a Q&a with fans, where, according to Daily Mail, she addressed how her dad is doing, more than two years on from his frontotemporal dementia (Ftd) diagnosis.

The Hollywood star, widely known for his roles in action films, particularly his portrayal of John McClane in the Die Hard franchise, as well as memorable turns in movies of different genres, such as Pulp Fiction and The Fifth Element, announced he was stepping away from acting in 2022 after initially being diagnosed with aphasia. There have been few updates on his condition since, so one fan took the opportunity to ask Rumer how her dad was doing,...

People talk about Moonlighting all the time, but it had once been impossible to go back and watch the dramedy starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd as a detective and out-of-work model whose will they/won’t they romance helped change relationships on television. Now, it’s on Hulu (since October 2023), and getting it there was a feat, but one that creator Glenn Gordon Caron had been trying to make happen for a while. “I [once] said to Jeffrey Katzenberg when he was at Disney, ‘Is there any way I could buy the negatives from you?'” he recalled to TV Insider for the release. The hold-up: the music. “In five seasons, I think we only did 66 shows. We used 300 songs. The idea of going back and renegotiating with all those people when effectively they have you over a barrel was not something any studio was looking forward to,” he explained.

Michael Weatherly always had a knack for spotting the quirks that made NCIS stand out, or, in this case, blend in a little too much. Reflecting on the show’s massive global reach, the former Agent Dinozzo revealed why some countries thought NCIS was just a clever knockoff of CSI.

From the crime-solving formula to the occasional witty banter, Weatherly noted how the show often skirted the edge of parody, saying it was “almost like spoofing it.”

NCIS or CSI Spoof? Michael Weatherly explains the global misinterpretation Michael Weatherly as Agent Anthony Dinozzo in NCIS | Credits: CBS Studios

Michael Weatherly once revealed a curious twist in how NCIS is perceived abroad. In countries like France, audiences often mistook the show’s lighter, comedic tone for a parody of CSI. But hold up, Weatherly never claimed NCIS was designed to spoof its crime-drama cousin.

Bruce Willis’ daughters Scout and Tallulah shared a rare Thanksgiving photo with their father to Instagram in which he’s holding a plaque that reads “Best Dad Ever.” The caption read simply, “Grateful.”

The former actor, who is now 69, was diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive disorder that affects one’s ability to communicate, in March 2022, before receiving a more specific dementia diagnosis in Feb. 2023.

Last year, Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of “Moonlighting,” the ’80s sitcom that shot Willis to stardom, told the New York Post that even though the actor was “not totally verbal” and no longer reading, he was “still Bruce.”

Kaitlin Olson leads the cast of the critically acclaimed and popular TV show High Potential, which shares many things in common with Moonlighting. The 2024 crime drama series, created by Drew Goddard, follows Olson's Morgan Gillory, a high-potential intellectual (hence the name of the show), with an Iq of 160. At the beginning of High Potential, Morgan is a single mother of three and a cleaner for the Los Angeles Police Department. However, when she is able to solve a case effortlessly, Morgan becomes a consultant for the Major Crimes division of the LAPD.

New episodes of High Potential air on Tuesdays at 10 pm Et on ABC. Season 1, which has already concluded filming, will contain 13 episodes.

Until Hulu did the lord's work and brought back Glenn Gordon Caron's "Moonlighting" last year, the series that launched Bruce Willis' career and solidified Cybill Shepherd's had been languishing for seemingly ages in a digital netherworld where its fans could not access it and potential newcomers had zero chance of discovering it. This would've been unthinkable during the show's 1985-1987 heyday, when the live-wire romantic chemistry of its leads and the inventive mystery plotting of Caron and his writers -- who once plunged their "Moonlighting" protagonists into a Shakespearian reverie -- made it must-see television. "Moonlighting" was hilarious, smart and ridiculously sexy.

And just as fast as it peaked, it was gone.

While the rerelease of "Moonlighting" on Hulu confirmed that it was every bit as fresh and funny as we remembered, bringing it all back meant revisiting its untimely demise. How could a show with two dynamic...

Bruce Willis’ family has been keeping the public updated on his health condition, with recent reports indicating they are cherishing their moments with him as they may not have much time left.

His daughter recently shared that he is “doing well,” and his ex-wife Demi Moore mentioned that he is in a “stable place.” However, new insights suggest that his family is concerned about his future as his condition worsens.

Family Worried About Time Running Out

According to reports, Bruce Willis‘ loved ones fear they have limited time with the 69-year-old actor, who retired from acting due to health complications.

Two and a half years ago, Willis stepped away from Hollywood after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects communication. Shortly after, he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Earlier this September, Bruce was spotted in Los Angeles during a brief outing, though he remained in the car while his...

Bruce Willis’s family has been offering many updates on his condition lately. His daughter said he is doing well, and his ex-wife, Demi Moore, has said he is in a “stable place.” However, a new report indicates that they are enjoying their time with him now because there might not be much more time left.

Here is what we know about Willis and his deteriorating health.

Bruce Willis Family Worries He Doesn’t Have Much Time Left

According to some new reports, Bruce Willis’s family fears they don’t have much time like with the retired actor. Two and a half years ago, Bruce retired from acting after doctors confirmed he had aphasia, a brain disorder that robs a person of their ability to communicate. Less than a year later came another diagnosis — frontotemporal dementia.

Earlier this month, Willis was seen out and around in Los Angeles.

The youngest daughter of Die Hard star and Hollywood icon Bruce Willis, Tallulah Willis, has offered an update on how her father is doing following his retirement from acting amid health issues. Bruce Willis, who has of course been one of the worlds biggest movie stars for decades, took the decision to walk away from acting in 2022 due to aphasia and was later diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Now, in an interview with E! News, Tallulah Willis has opened up about her fathers health, saying that he is doing about the same as he was a year ago. Which, she says, is a good thing considering his recent diagnosis.

Our visits have so much love, and I feel that overreaches anything for me...I know he knows how much I love him; I know how much he loves meI know how much he loves us all. Its a hard thing for anyone going through this,...

This is coming after the “Die Hard” actor’s wife, Emma Hemming, took to the internet to call out the misinformation surrounding her husband’s condition.

Bruce Willis’ 69th birthday was filled with love as he was surrounded by family, from his wife Emma to their two young kids, and his three grown-up daughters from his previous marriage to actress Demi Moore.

Despite the actor’s painful diagnosis, his family continues to be there for him and to enjoy his presence, as he obviously rejoices in theirs.

When Bruce Willis announced his retirement from acting in 2022 due to his condition, his dream to play one role in a film franchise ended. Willis was a big fan of the James Bond films. After watching Javier Bardem portray an exceptional villain in Daniel Craig’s Skyfall, Willis openly stated in 2013 that he was up for playing a big baddie in the next Bond film.

However, the role of the crime organization leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the next film, Spectre, went to Christoph Waltz. Bruce Willis never got the call from James Bond makers, who wrapped up Daniel Craig’s iteration of films in 2021 with No Time to Die.

Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette chaired a career masterclass this afternoon at Series Mania in Lille, France, where she served as this year’s guest of honor.

Topics up for discussion during the session ranged from Arquette’s childhood growing up on a “hippie” commune with her parents in rural Virginia alongside her career as an actress, working with filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Richard Linklater, and David Lynch.

“He gives you a lot of freedom,” Arquette said of Lynch, whom she worked with on his 1997 surrealist feature Lost Highway.

Lynch’s Lost Highway, like many of his films of the 90s, is a project focused on gender, sexuality, and sensuality. In the pic — which also stars Bill Pullman — Arquette’s character is involved in a prolonged nude scene. Arquette said that at the time, she had been “really uncomfortable with nudity.” However, she pushed on with the scene to challenge herself as an artist,...

Growing up with Nick at Nite, there was one classic series that I adored above all others: "I Dream of Jeannie." Comparisons to that other '60s rom-com fantasy about a supernatural lady causing mayhem in the suburbs be damned, Sidney Sheldon's sitcom was just the blast of silliness that I craved as a kiddo. 

As an adult, I've also come to appreciate that easily-rattled U.S. Air Force pilot Anthony "Tony" Nelson (Larry Hagman), his amiable buddy and co-worker Roger Healey (Bill Daily), and Barbara Eden's trouble-making, wish-granting genie ... Jeannie were clearly in a throuple but had to play coy about it to avoid ruffling their neighbors' feathers. Not that they were all that careful about maintaining their cover, what with Roger constantly strolling into Tony and Jeannie's humble abode uninvited with the casualness of someone who definitely doesn't secretly live there. Y'all ain't as slick as you think you are!

Update: In addition to being available on Hulu, the classic Bruce WIllis/ Cybill Shepherd series, Moonlighting, is now coming to digital retailers like iTunes and more. So if you want to own a digital copy of the show, now’s your chance. One caveat: no news on whether the show will be available in Canada, with it still absent from Disney Star here north of the border, making it seem like the music rights are keeping the show from being more widely available.

Original Post: Do bears bear? Do bees be? Does a Hulu subscription sound enticing now that Moonlighting is finally coming to the streaming platform? That’s right, you detectives of romance! All 67 episodes of the classic comedy series starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd will be available to stream on the service beginning on October 10, 2023.

How does Hulu plan to sweeten the pot for this fantastic news?...

Hollywood star Bruce Willis was spotted out walking in public for the first time in months as he continues to deal with his dementia diagnosis.

The Hollywood star, 68, has kept himself largely out of the public eye since his family confirmed his frontotemporal dementia condition earlier this year. Any images of the star have largely consisted of him surrounding by his family or sitting in a vehicle with security guards, reports mirror.co.uk.

However, the latest images showed the ‘Die Hard’ actor seemingly in good spirits as he took to the streets around breakfast time on Monday in Santa Monica.

The actor was seen wearing casual clothes, including a plaid shirt, quilted jacket, grey joggers and a grey New York baseball cap.

He also opted for comfy grey laceless trainers and was said to have given a thumbs up to passers-by.

The actor’s friend recently confirmed he can...

When “Moonlighting” premiered on ABC on March 3, 1985, with a two-hour movie, all the ingredients for what a blockbuster the show became were in place. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis had undeniable chemistry; the verbal dexterity was on full display; and the ingredients for what would become the show’s signature physical comedy was there in the climactic moment at the airport. No, wait, at the top of the Capitol Records building. No, no, it was at the top of the Eastern Columbia Building in downtown Los Angeles. The full sequence is one of the most thrilling, vertigo-inducing action moments of any TV series then or today, as audiences are discovering now that “Moonlighting” is streaming on Hulu. Not only is the building itself gorgeous, but as reluctant new partners in a detective agency on their first case, Shepherd and Willis dangle over the edge and clamber onto a horizontal ladder directly over downtown L.

Amid Bruce Willis’ decline in health, his wife Emma Heming Willis is making sure their children remain happy and are in good spirits.

Through a couple of snapshots on her Instagram stories, Emma can be having fun with her daughters, Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn Willis.

The first photo shows Emma, dressed as Waldo hugging one of her daughters, who is dressed as a mystical fairy.

Another photo sees Emma smile in a series of photos with her other daughter, who is dressed as a pirate.

Bruce, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (Ftd) earlier this year, has Emma as his primary caregiver.

Despite being vocal about awareness of Ftd, Emma has posted only occasionally about her husband, preferring to give him privacy as he deals with the disease.

Glenn Caron, a close friend of Bruce, did give an update on his dementia in mid-October.

Moonlighting, now streaming on Hulu, was a huge network hit in the 1980s and helped define the era of Prestige TV. Its biggest problem was the production schedule, but on streaming viewers don't have to wait or endure too many reruns. Moonlighting was ahead of its time and a streaming audience could make it a hit once again, just like Suits on Netflix.

The way television is watched may have changed, but audiences aren't all that different today as they were nearly 40 years ago. Thanks to streaming services, "old" shows find new audiences all the time. Suits became a hit on Netflix in 2023, despite the legal drama ending its run on cable in 2019. Moonlighting, which just debuted on Hulu, ended 30 years before Suits, but it could become a massive hit once again. Despite existing for more than a decade, streaming as a mainstream "content delivery" system is still relatively new.

The NBC/CBS procedural show Medium ran from 2005 to 2011, revolving around self-proclaimed psychic investigator Allison Dubois (Patricia Arquette), with show creator Glenn Gordon Caron’s writing pertaining to real-life cases involving the celebrity medium. Arquette portrayed a fictionalized version of her real-life counterpart, with the character working as a consultant for Arizona District Attorney Manuel Devalos (Miguel Sandoval), and utilizing her abilities to solve violent murders. The show injected supernatural realism into a show already grounded in reality. The grisly focus of the show was offset by the normalcy of Allison’s family life, who’d worked hard to keep her private and professional life separate. In the series' three-part Recapitator arc, Allison’s good intentions would result in both worlds colliding with severe consequences — thanks to the duplicity of Neve Campbell’s ruthless reporter P.D. McCall.

After a protracted process securing the music rights for streaming, Moonlighting is finally lighting up television screens again, newly remastered and available on Hulu. The five-season series aired on ABC between 1985 and 1989 and starred Cybill Shepherd as Maddie Hayes, a former model-turned-business owner, and Bruce Willis as David Addison Jr., the detective with whom she starts a private-eye business. Creator Glenn Gordon Caron told TV Insider this month that William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew inspired the show. “I thought, if you could catch the funny, sort of violent, sort of passionate, nonetheless heartfelt — you’re looking at these two people, [who] hate each other [and] are made for each other, the contradictions,” Caron said. “If you could figure out a way to do that in a modern setting, that would be wildly entertaining. That’s really what Moonlighting is or at least ...

Neiman Marcus welcomed Schiaparelli’s creative director, Daniel Roseberry, to Los Angeles with Demi Moore and her daughter, Scout Willis, among the well-wishers.

Both wearing Schiaparelli, Moore and Scout looked beautiful for the welcome party.

Moore wore a white suit with black swirls and Scout donned an all-black outfit with gold buttons.

Scout, 32, is the second daughter of Moore and action star Bruce Willis. In addition to Scout, they also share Rumer, 35, and Tallulah, 29.

Though Moore and Willis are no longer together and have moved on with different people, they have remained close, as Moore continues to support Willis amid his dementia diagnosis.

Willis retired from acting in March 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia. A year later, his family announced that it had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.

Today, he is “incommunicative,” as Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron told the New York Post.

“He’s not totally verbal; he used...

Moonlighting was known in the 1980s for its witty writing and the "will they or won't they" premise. Moonlighting is believed to have lost its way towards the end of Season 3, but this isn't actually the case. Moonlighting suffered from both narrative and behind-the-scenes challenges, ultimately leading to its decline.

Moonlighting -- the wildly successful 1980s detective show that made Bruce Willis a star -- has finally found a streaming home on Hulu. New audiences will get to see all five seasons of the show that their parents remember so fondly. Longtime fans can go back and rewatch it as well, though maybe not all five seasons.

There's a consensus among fans that Moonlighting lost its way somewhere during its five years on ABC. Relying on the chemistry of its two leads, the series was widely enjoyed for its wit and its "will they or won't they" premise. Many fans...

The decade of the 1980s threw a little bit of everything at us when it came to television genres. There were police procedurals like Hill Street Blues, mindless action fare like The A-Team and Knight Rider, medical dramas including St. Elsewhere, and of course, the uber-popular wealthy family nighttime soaps Dallas, Dynasty, and Falcon Crest. But among all these various styles of hour-long serials, there was one show that stood out from the rest for being the perfect combination of all of them, yet a unicorn unto itself: the Glenn Gordon Caron-created mystery comedy series Moonlighting.

“Moonlighting” was more than a watercooler show. It was an obsession. Episodes were taped and rewatched. And for good reason. There had never been a anything on the small screen like the 1985-89 ABC romantic screwball comedy detective series. The rapid-fire dialogue recalled such Howard Hawks’ classics as 1938’s ‘Bringing Up Baby” and 1940’ “His Girl Friday.” Fourth walls were broken. There was a black-and-white episode and even and wild and crazy take on William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” That was just the tip of the innovations.

Creator and executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron told me in a 2000 L.A. Times interview that ABC didn’t give him total freedom when it came to the episodes: “The truth is no one let me do everything. I just did it. Ignorance is bliss. There were rules and I chose not to listen to anybody. At a certain point, the network said- ‘This is working.

The creator of the classic '80s ABC series Moonlighting says Bruce Willis is "still Bruce" despite his ongoing health struggles.

Moonlighting series creator and producer Glenn Gordon Caron spoke to the New York Post to promote all five seasons of the Bruce Willis and Cybill Sheppard series coming to Hulu. During the interview, Caron detailed his most recent interaction with Willis since the actor went public about his battle with dementia. "My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am," Caron said. "He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce."

Created by Caron, Moonlighting was Willis' breakout role...

Moonlighting is finally available for streaming, and creator Glenn Gordon Caron knows that star Bruce Willis — who starred opposite Cybill Shepherd on the ‘80s-era ABC dramedy — is “really happy” about that. “When I got to spend time with him, we talked about it, and I know he’s excited,” Caron told the New York Post. “I know it means a lot to him.” Caron, who said he visits Willis every month or so, offered an update on the actor’s battle with frontotemporal dementia — a neurological condition that can cause unusual behaviors, emotional problems, and difficulty communicating and walking, according to the National Institute on Aging. “I have tried very hard to stay in his life. He’s an extraordinary person,” Caron said. “The thing that makes [his disease] so mind-blowing is [that] if you’ve ever spent time with Bruce Willis, there is no one who had any more joie de vivre than he.

Bruce Willis' family confirmed that his aphasia has rendered him mostly incommunicative, taking away his language skills and leaving him without his former joie de vivre. Recent updates suggest that Bruce Willis' acting return is becoming more unlikely, as his condition has advanced and there are currently no specific treatments for his diagnosis of aphasia. Despite his health concerns, Bruce Willis leaves behind a significant legacy in film, showcasing his talent in action, comedy, and drama genres, and receiving support and admiration from collaborators and colleagues.

As his star-making show finally makes its way to streaming, Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron has offered a disheartening update on Bruce Willis' health. The Golden Globe winner's family announced in early 2022 that the actor would be retiring from the industry following a diagnosis of aphasia, a brain condition in which the person struggles to comprehend or formulate language. In the year since his retirement,...

Bruce Willis, who is sadly dealing with frontotemporal dementia, is no longer fully verbal, but he is still recognizable as the "Bruce" fans know and love. Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron has been in touch with Willis and is glad that the show is now available to stream on Hulu. Caron describes Willis as an extraordinary person who possessed a strong joie de vivre, making his current condition even more difficult to comprehend.

An old friend of Hollywood icon Bruce Willis, Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron, has offered an update on the actor, and sadly says he is now "not totally verbal." Though he does assure fans by adding "he's still Bruce." The Die Hard actor walked away from acting recently following a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia back in February.

As fans of Bruce Willis, we all hope for the best as he and his family go through their trying time as the actor lives with frontotemporal dementia. Unfortunately, not everything will offer a glimmer of uplifting news. With his breakout series Moonlighting now streaming on Hulu, creator Glenn Gordon Caron has provided an update based on recent visits.

Speaking with New York Post, Caron noted that his time with Bruce Willis as of late has been difficult as he sees how much has been taken from the actor. “My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am…He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now.

“Moonlighting” creator Glenn Gordon Caron shared excitement for the classic 1980s rom-com detective series finally being available on streaming, but also that star Bruce Willis, 68, has continued to see his condition worsen. Willis retired from acting after first being diagnosed with aphasia, which affects communication, in 2022, before receiving a more specific dementia diagnosis earlier this year.

“He’s not totally verbal,” Caron said in an interview with the New York Post. “He used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce.”

Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron has spoken to Bruce Willis about the ’80s hit dramedy, which is making its streaming debut on Hulu.

He shared a health update on Willis, who played detective David Addison opposite Cybill Shepherd’s Maddie Hayes, who owned the Blue Moon Detective Agency.

Willis, 68, has frontotemporal dementia and retired from acting in 2022.

“The process [to get Moonlighting on streaming] has taken quite a while and Bruce’s disease is a progressive disease, so I was able to communicate with him, before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now, about hoping to get the show back in front of people,” Caron told the New York Post. “I know he’s really happy that the show is going to be available for people, even though he can’t tell me that. When I got to spend time with him, we talked about it and I know he’s excited.

Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of Moonlighting and a close friend of Bruce Willis, is sharing an update on the actor’s health amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia.

Caron recently told the New York Post that he tries to see the Die Hard star about once a month, and that he does feel that Willis still recognizes him during his visits.

“My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am,” he said. “He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce.”

He added, “When you’re with him, you know that he’s Bruce and you’re grateful that he’s there, but the joie de vivre is gone.”

With “Moonlighting” now available on streaming for the first time thanks to Hulu, series creator Glenn Gordon Caron spoke to the New York Post and confirmed he was able to tell series star Bruce Willis about the show’s streaming resurgence amid the actor’s ongoing frontotemporal dementia (Ftp) diagnosis. “Moonlighting,” the Emmy-nominated ABC dramedy that ran for five seasons and 67 episodes in the late-1980s, served as Willis’ acting breakthrough. He plays a wisecracking detective who teams up with a former fashion model (Cybill Shepherd) to solve crimes after she finds herself broke and left with a detective agency as her only asset.

“I know [Bruce is] really happy that the show is going to be available for people, even though he can’t tell me that,” Caron told The Post. “When I got to spend time with him we talked about it and I know he’s excited… The process...

We’re getting a new update on how Bruce Willis is doing following his dementia diagnosis.

Earlier this year, the 68-year-old actor’s family announced that he had been diagnosed with a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia. The family had announced Bruce’s earlier diagnosis of aphasia and retirement in March 2022.

In a new interview, Bruce‘s longtime friend Glenn Gordon Caron, who is also the creator of the ’80s ABC comedy series Moonlighting, shared a new update on how Bruce is doing.

While speaking with The Post, Glenn, 69, says that he has tried to visit with Bruce almost every month since was first diagnosed with aphasia.

“I’m not always quite that good but I try and I do talk to him and his wife [Emma Heming Willis] and I have a casual relationship with his three older children,” Glenn shared. “I...

Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron discusses how the show recruited Orson Welles, Billy Joel, and Shakespeare to create iconic episodes. The show delivered memorable performances, but three episodes stand out for their creative approach, including dream sequences, musical numbers, and an episode scripted entirely in iambic pentameter. Caron reveals the behind-the-scenes details of the episodes, such as reaching out to Orson Welles, Billy Joel offering a song, and the inspiration behind the episodes.

Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron revealed how the hit 1980s show recruited Orson Welles, Billy Joel, and even Shakespeare for the most iconic episodes of the series. Moonlighting ran from 1985 to 1989. The five season drama series starred Bruce Willis as wise cracking Pi David Addison and Cybill Sheperd as model-turned-detective-agency-manager-Maddie Hayes. While opening up about the popular series in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Caron told the outlet:

"I didn't aspire to be in television.

“Moonlighting” lovers are a dedicated crew — it was the kind of wildly imaginative, smart, sophisticated series that inspired passionate loyalty over the course of its 66 episodes (the two-part pilot is shown as a single episode) and five seasons on the air. What’s even more remarkable about fans’ dedication is the relative rarity of the series; the Glenn Gordon Caron-created genre hybrid has rarely been in regular syndication and its DVD releases have been out of print since 2013.

Not that the DVD releases really satisfied the die-hard fans. Sure, they got to relive just what all the fuss was about when the show took the country by storm back in 1985, as former model Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) and wise guy detective David Addison (a pre-“Die Hard” Bruce Willis) investigated crimes, bickered, broke the fourth wall, and generally served as television trailblazers up to and including the “Moonlighting” curse...

Moonlighting creator Glenn Gordon Caron says that the series’ long-awaited release to streaming is “even more poignant” given leading man Bruce Willis’ mental health struggles.

Willis’ family announced in March 2022 that he had been diagnosed with aphasia, and as such would step away from his acting career. Less than a year later, the family added that Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

At long last, this week it was revealed that “Moonlighting,” the formative romantic comedy/drama that made Bruce Willis a household name and cemented Cybill Shepherd place in popular culture, will finally be coming to Hulu next month. Glenn Gordon Caron, who created the show, wasn’t sure it was going to happen either.

“I really thought it was going to be one of those things that was lost to the ages,” he told TheWrap in an interview conducted after the announcement was made. “There’s a moment where you go from being in the zeitgeist to becoming a kind of niche and then frankly, getting lost, just have no currency whatsoever because there’ve been so many other things that have been made that have been more interesting, that are newer. And I very much worried about that. That was a concern of mine.”

“Moonlighting” premiered in 1985 on ABC and ran for five seasons.

For the first time in the show’s history, all five seasons and 67 episodes of the classic 1980s ABC hour “Moonlighting” will hit the rerun market – streaming exclusively over Hulu beginning October 10. Each installment has been remastered in HD from the original film source and will feature the Grammy-nominated title track recording from Al Jarreau.

The series – which originally ran from 1985 to ’89 – starred Cybill Shepherd and proved a star-making turn for Bruce Willis. It cast Shepherd as fashion model-turned detective agency head Maddie Hayes and Willis as wisecracking private eye David Addison, with Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong featured in plum supporting roles as Agnes Dipesto and Herbert Viola, respectively. Whenever creator and showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron was asked why “Moonlighting” wasn’t available to stream, he would cite the prohibitive expense of acquiring the music rights of the eclectic soundtrack. But that little issue has evidently been rectified.

“Moonlighting...

There wasn't a funnier or sharper show in the mid-1980s than "Moonlighting." Created by Glenn Gordon Caron, the hour-long ABC series starred Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis as Maddie Hayes and David Addison, perpetually squabbling partners in the Blue Moon Detective Agency. It was an odd duck. Caron and the cast took big, genre-hopping swings; one episode might be a musical, the next might be written in iambic pentameter, and another could be a homage to big-screen boxing melodramas. It was arguably the ballsiest network series prior to the 1990 premiere of "Twin Peaks."

And somehow, in the middle of the Reagan era, "Moonlighting" became a Nielsen ratings behemoth.

American television viewers weren't exactly clamoring for an amiably off-kilter riff on "The Thin Man" and 1930s - '40s screwball comedies at the time, but once they saw Shepherd and Willis bantering with Hepburn-Grant ease, they were sold. "Moonlighting" roared...

There aren’t many shows unavailable online in the current streaming era. However, Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd‘s hit drama Moonlighting was one of the few that had never been available to binge. But after years of waiting, that’s all about to change. Moonlighting will be available on streaming for the first time, and Hulu snagged the coveted title. All five seasons of Moonlighting will be available to stream on Hulu as of Tuesday, October 10, the platform announced on Tuesday, September 26. Viewers can binge all 67 episodes, complete with the original Grammy-nominated title track recording by Al Jarreau. Each classic episode has also been remastered in HD from the original film source. Moonlighting creator Glenn Caron tweeted about his intentions to get the show onto streaming services on October 5, 2022, saying, “Can’t keep it under my hat any longer- the business of getting all five seasons of Moonlighting starring...

The answer to one long-burning question — “Will Moonlighting ever be available for streaming?” — quickly spawned another avid query: “But will the music remain the same?”

As TVLine reported on Tuesday, all five seasons of ABC’s Moonlighting — the groundbreaking dramedy starred Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd as bickering private detectives David Addison and Maddie Hayes — will be available to stream on Hulu starting Tuesday, Oct. 10.

Moonlighting, a popular 1980s television series starring Bruce Willis, finally finds a streaming home for the first time in its existence. Airing on ABC from 1985 to 1989, the series starred Cybill Shepherd as a former model and a mostly unknown Willis as a smart-aleck detective who partner up to manage a private agency and solve cases. Though Moonlighting was a massive ratings success for much of...
