Back in the 1980s, the primetime show Moonlighting was a massive hit for ABC, blending comedy, romance, and mystery while turning its leads, Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis, into household names. The show followed Maddie Hayes (Shepherd), a former model whose business ventures collapse, leaving her with one remaining asset: the Blue Moon Detective Agency.

However, the duo eventually grew to hate each other. “I remember at one point in the show, it had gotten to where we just hated each other. It was a very volatile show anyway, but that’s also what made it great,” said Shepherd to EW…..
