April 26, 201015 yr Member 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
April 26, 201015 yr Member 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."
April 26, 201015 yr Member 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.
April 26, 201015 yr Author Member 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.
April 26, 201015 yr Member I liked the pre-credits comic scenes too. I think there was one about Joe teaching Lowell to ballroom dance.
April 26, 201015 yr Member 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.
April 26, 201015 yr Author Member "Joe blows" is one of my favorite episodes ever. Tim Daly was fantastic in that
March 4, 201115 yr Author Member One of THE best episodes of Wings ever IMO. Tim Daly was awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TxTr_plc-k
March 4, 201115 yr Member 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.
March 4, 201115 yr Member 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.
March 4, 201115 yr Member Wings was always like Newhart-in-an-airport to me, and I liked it. Much better than Friends'n'em.
