well folks, this weeks episode of _Moonlighting_ was fantastic! 
You want to talk meta-humor? Ok, we'll start with that.  The show
opens, the normal titles are going by, the music cressendos and here
comes the episode title. What is it?  I'm glad you asked.  
'Twas the episode before Christmas 
No lines, no new footage and I'm already laughing! then about 12 minutes
from the end of the show, Maddie says, "What are we going to do?" Dave's
reply is, "Wrap this up in about 12 minutes cause another show is comming
on?" And of course the ending, both walking through the office talking about
Mary and Joseph and the way the office is decorated Dave says, "You think 
this could be the christmas show?" All Great stuff!
(Flame material forthcomming)
The ONLY thing I didn't like about this show was Richard Belzer.  When
he started out, as a comedian, he was great.  Somewhere along the line
somebody told him he had to say F**k or S**T every other word, so they moved
him to cable.  Then Cable realized he wasn't worth the paper *THIS* is 
printed on, so they moved him to the gutter!  I must admit though, the        
casting is perfect.  They had him play a scum-sucking senseless 
thoughtless animal (for those who didn't see the show) which is exactly
what he is.
(There, that ought to get this group going!)
