Members dragonflies Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Any Wings fans here? My favorite character was Helen overall. One of the best episodes is when Roy has to sing the National Anthem at a ball game and faints before he can finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PAsoapfan Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Loved Wings A very under-rated sitcom IMO The Cast was amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I liked this show a lot for 3-4-5 years. I'm not sure why I stopped watching, I guess I just lost interest. I saw some later stuff and Helen's sister on the show got on my nerves -- I'm blanking on her name (I know she's John Ritter's widow). The only time I remember enjoying her in a show was in a Quantum Leap episode. I agree that the cast was underrated. There were some fun episodes. One I enjoyed was when Frasier had to come for some sort of seminar, and wasn't he mixed up with a train meeting or he had to blow a train whistle or something. And there was the one about the time capsule buried at Joe and Brian's old house. And one where Roy buried something in his backyard. I remember how much fun Laura Innes was as Lowell's wife. There was one episode where she tried to seduce, Joe? I was like And the episode where Tim Daly's sister, that little known actress Tyne, appeared as a rich lady who "kept" Brian. That led to the hilarious scene where he decided not to leave with her, and she had him strip down to his underwear. Then, as the closing credits came up, she said, "Those too."

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Take Taxi and Cheers and put them in an airport, and you have Wings... And weirdly enough, this seems to be a show I can only enjoy when its aired on USA. I remember when USA used to re-run it a million times a day, but when I watched years later on Nick@Nite, it just seemed alien on their schedule.

Members dragonflies Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Eh I didn't care much for Cheers or Taxi. IMO Wings is a better show than both. I've never found Wings to be like either of those. Yeah the episode with Tyne Daly, hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I liked the pre-credits comic scenes too. I think there was one about Joe teaching Lowell to ballroom dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PAsoapfan Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I agree Zendall Fan, Wings can't be compared to Cheers or Taxi. It's in a league of it's own. I always thought Wings had more feeling and heart. One of my favorite episodes is when Helen ran her Jeep thourgh Joe's office. I always Cry when i watch the episode whenh Lowell left and Joe and Brian nail is hat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 "Joe blows" is one of my favorite episodes ever. Tim Daly was fantastic in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 4, 2011 Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 Another sitcom I loved when I was growing up. Tony Shaloub's character was the bomb. Also, I loved Crystal Bernard on here. But, somehow hated her on Happy Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted March 4, 2011 Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 The ONLY thing I liked about this show: That's not to say I found the show utterly wretched. But I never got into it. But I loved hearing that uptempo piano piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 4, 2011 Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 Wings was always like Newhart-in-an-airport to me, and I liked it. Much better than Friends'n'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
