TV sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer’s advice to “Moonlighting” ’s love-struck detective David Addison (played by Bruce Willis) may inspire the wrath of the show’s loyal fans. In the Oct. 24 issue of TV Guide, Westheimer tells Addison to dump his glamorous but fickle boss Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd). “One minute she’s saying ‘Let’s forget what happened between us,’ and two seconds later she’s flirting and showing how much she desires him,” Westheimer writes. “If he were in therapy with me, I would tell him, ‘Drop her. Go and find yourself a woman who doesn’t play those kinds of games.’ ” The only way to save the relationship, Westheimer says, is for Addison to “quit the detective agency and find another job.”
