Good show, very funny. I'm a big fan of this show. If it ever comes out on DVD I might buy it.

I LOVED Wings! I had a thing for Crystal Bernard (Helen Chapel on the show). The Hacket brothers, Roy, and the guy who is now Monk were great!

I pretty much agree, with a few exceptions. The wedding episode was one of the funniest single tv episodes ever. I always enjoyed it though. Just a small step below Cheers and Seinfeld.

"Antonio rowed the boat ashore, hallelujah"

Antonio Scarpacci and Lowell Mather made that show. When Lowell left it was disappointing and the show went downhill from there.

I can't imagine the market is big enough to justify it right now. Seriously, I think the 5 of you that liked it, might be the only people in the US that liked it.

I loved the show the first couple of seasons. The Christmas episode was classic with Lowell screwing up the lyrics to Christmas songs. "I'll be Joan for Christmas" and "Walking in my winter underwear".

The Las Cruces/Rock Springs episode is probably my favorite, though. "Maybe it was Las Cruces."

To me, the show lost it when the redhead came on the show (Not Alex, the one who was married to John Ritter). She is like Shelley Long on Cheers to me. If I come across Wings and she's in it, I just change the channel.

I remember watching the show on a regular basis. It wasn't great but it was enjoyable. I also remember back when I was a huge Clint Black fan and watching the episode "I Love Brian" he appeared in. I thought that was so cool. :)

By this logic, there'd be a lot less tv shows out on DVD already.


I've always enjoyed Wings, but I'd agree it was consistently good, not great. It was on Nick At Nite for awhile, but they've pulled it, I believe.
