Reviews

"I was totally hooked by the first chapters. I was all in." —Glenn Gordon Caron, Creator


"Scott Ryan’s writing has a delightful bounce and captures the energy of Moonlighting. It really feels like an episode of the series to me." —Jay Daniel, Executive Producer of Moonlighting


"A book about the making of Moonlighting that interviews every major player? Inject it straight into my heart with the needle from Pulp Fiction." —Matt Zoller Seitz, NY Magazine TV critic


"Overall, it’s a great book for fans of Moonlighting and for people that like to know what happens behind the scenes." —Tanya, Book Review Crew

"Find Out The Real Story Of Moonlighting, The Popular TV Series That Launched Bruce Willis To Stardom" —Digital Journal

"Scott Ryan achieves a critical breakthrough as a result of all the behind the camera information he has amassed. His work mounts a challenge to the false public discourse about the problems that haunted Moonlighting." —Martha Nochimson, Author of Screen Couple Chemistry: The Power of 2, Professor Emerita Mercy College Associate

"Incredibly, for a show that was so popular, controversial, and influential, Moonlighting had never before been the subject of a serious book. It took more than thirty years since the series’ cancellation for the first one to be written. Fortunately, it’s terrific." —Mike Segretto, Psychobabble

"I had a blast reading this—I can’t imagine any half-hearted fan of the show not enjoying themselves." —HC Newton, The Irresponsible Reader
