The top model Maddie Hayes was betrayed by her investment adviser who flew with all her money to South-America and began the hard life of a Casino owner. All the unfaithful manager has left Maddie is her house, her unbelievable beauty and intelligence and the run-down detective-agency "City Angels" (renamed by Maddie into "Blue Moon"). Because of her lack of money, she wants to sell the agency, but the houses only detective David Addison tries to convince her to join the agency as the new boss. So Maddie Hayes becomes involved in the work of a real private detective, which means so hard work as to spy upon unfaithful husbands, find missing people or murderers, foil attempts on VIP's lives, stop killers, help lovers and by the way save the world's peace and existence. While doing this Maddie and David try to get used to each other and this way they recognize their complete difference in life-style, humour, amusement and of course in the way how to run a detective agency.

The writers were #$%& geniuses! I curse both Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd for letting their egos get in the way of a brilliant series.
I also thank them for the roles they played to perfection.
Love/Hate...just like their characters.
This was one of the few shows my whole family liked. My father would laugh like a hyena and quote the lines for days.
Non stop puns and jokes almost made you HAVE to see the repeats over and over to catch 'em all.
The David Addison character, despite his brashness, made it clear he'd give you the shirt off his back.
And despite Maddy Hayes' pompousness, her heart was pure gold.
Brilliant. Up there with Night Court as one of the best of the 80's.
