The Zinger Relationship

[Blind Gossip] This actor and actress starred together on a television show that premiered more than twenty years ago.

The show was very popular and ran for multiple seasons.

The popularity of the show was due in large part to the chemistry between their two characters.

It was one of those relationships hallmarked by a confused attraction masked by sarcasm and a lot of one-line zingers.

However, it kept the audience engaged and guessing when their characters would get together in a romantic way.

Here’s a secret: The two actors actually had an affair during the course of the show!

What?!

Yes!

It only lasted one season, but it was hot and heavy while it lasted. After that, they were pretty icy to each other. It really created a lot of tension on the set.

Nothing to do with Heather Locklear or Tommy Lee. We just love their 1980s hair!

    Possibly…
    Seinfeld- Jerry S & Julia Louis Dreyfus
    Or
    Cheers – Ted Danson & Kirstie Allie

    Op- Best was “The Wonder Years”

  9. Ramblingirl says

    Sam and Diane from Cheers

    Shelley Long and Ted Danson.

    Just a guess because of the sarcasm and one liners.

    I’m a child of the 80s so I loved them all!!

  12. Jenn123 says

    First thoughts are either Jerry and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld) or Tony Danza and Judith Light (Who’s The Boss?).

    Final answer is Tony and Judith though, because Julia was married before Seinfeld premiered and I assume happily, considering she’s still married.

    Show: Moonlighting

    Actors: Bruce Willis/Cybill Shepherd

    [Optional] Your favorite TV show from the 1980s or 1990s? Magnum PI, Airwolf, MASH (ok 70s too), Newhart, Cosby Show, Simon and Simon..ok..am I dating myself here?

  24. brendles says

    Please let this be Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd from Moonlighting. It would explain so much!

    I thought it may have been Heather Locklear and James Darren from their TJ Hooker days until the blind said it had nothing to do with Heather. Heather and James had some chemistry going on that show. He was twice her age but there was something there.

    Way too many possibilities, so I’ll with a long shot…

    Show: Northern Exposure
    Actors: Janine Turner & Rob Morrow

    Show: Moonlighting
    Actors: Bruce Willis & Cybil Shepard
    80-90’s favorite: Laverne & Shirley – the earthquake episode & the spy 🕵️‍♂️murder mystery on a train are my favorites.
    90’s: Friends. I had every male characters haircut off that show & it’s how I think back on my 20’s post college experience (minus the big/cheap NYC apartment).

  49. Pinkieswear says

    Moonlighting? Bruce Willis and Sybil Shepherd.

    Remington Steele? Stephanie Zimbalist (or maybe Doris Roberts) and Pierce Brosnan.

    How about the nanny? Fran Drescher and Charles Shaughnessy, both were married before the show started.

    The Kardashians tv show.

    I am very pleased with this. KUWTK was a low point in American culture. Now, with economic devatsation and the plague upon us, Americans don’t need, or want, to see hollywood trash rolling in their money, obtained thru a badly produced porn of a 20 year old Kim (exploited IMO) giving some guy a blowjob. Yeah, remember that? That’s how the Kardashian disease started.
    Good riddance to rubbish.

    I’m going to go with Who’s The Boss! Tony and Angela had us on the edge of our seats waiting for them to hook up lol.

    Actor: David Schwimmer
    Actress: Jennifer Anniston

    Favorite Show from 80’s is Dallas, favorite show from90’s is Friends
    20 years ago was 2000, so it can’t be Moonlighting that was over 30 years ago. Plus the linked similar story is about Friends.

  59. marlin ruj says

    My first thought was also Moonlighting. Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis oozed chemistry. To this day, I think the episode where they finally got together was the hottest love scene ever. Maybe not by today’s standards but I can still remember us girls talking about it at work the next day.

  61. amagod121 says

    Moonlighting with

    Bruce Willis and (gotta go check) …
    Cybil Shepherd!

    LOVED that show! So sexy, smart and FUN! Maybe my favorite show from that time! Also like Beauty and the Beast tv show.

  64. kittyconfidential says

    Because of this BI I’ve been bingeing Moonlighting all afternoon, & OMG, this show is f*cking awesome!
