MOONLIGHTING DVD CAMPAIGN PRESS RELEASE
The Moonlighting DVD Campaign is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the first two seasons of Moonlighting on DVD in May of 2005, 16 years after the groundbreaking series ended in 1989. The news came in a press release from Lions Gate Home Entertainment in which Lions Gate President Steve Beeks stated: "Moonlighting was one of the most popular shows on television during its run and there is an extensive fan base who have been anxiously awaiting its arrival on DVD. That time has finally arrived and Lions Gate is extremely excited to add this innovative and groundbreaking show to our ever-growing library of TV on DVD product."
Word of the release was greeted with an outpouring of glee from the international Moonlighting fan community. The Moonlighting DVD Campaign was launched on the Internet in November of 2002, and gained tremendous momentum from supporters, including series star Bruce Willis, whose efforts were pivotal in the campaign's success. The grass roots fan organization tirelessly wrote letters, sent e-mails, made telephone calls and publicized the campaign both on and offline. An Internet petition for the DVD release accumulated over 2800 signatures. Having achieved its goal, the Moonlighting DVD Campaign expressed its "heartfelt thanks" to Moonlighting fans around the world for their continuing dedication and support.
