IF anyone from Paramount is reading this, PLEASE release this sitcom on DVD!! You will make lots of $$$. IT will make up for the undeserved low ratings/advertising dollars that Wings generated in the 90's. I could never figure that one out. It was the BEST show on the air!! Talk about wacky but believable plot lines that had this viewer spewing milk out her nose at improper times.Better yet, Paramount, coerce the cast of Wings to reunite and do commentary on the goings on- if the old goats can remember that far back(just kidding). That would be priceless.Gawd I hope they all don't hate eachothers guts over trivial TV star stuff. Can't we all just get along? And make lotsa money!!
I am so glad that USA Network continues to rerun the episodes of this great show. With one exception I found this to be among those shows with a once in a lifetime cast. The only exception was Farah Forke, an absolutely terrible actress, who has dragged down every series that she has been a part of. Her character Alex was contentious, had a constant chip on her shoulder, and constantly felt that she had to show everyone how tough she was. BUT, when the shows' producers saw the light and bounced her they hit a home run with the casting of Amy Yasbeck in the role of Helen's sister. IMHO this show was as well written as any sitcom ever was. I hated to see the character of Lowell leave but I can't blame Thomas Hayden Church for trying to make it as the star of his own series (sadly, the series was a dud). And, while I would never want to associate professionally or socially with Roy, he was played perfectly by David Schramm. The final two part episode did a superb job of wrapping things up. It was a real bittersweet moment for me as I imagined what life would be like for Brian who so abruptly gave up his dream life in the islands to keep Sandpiper going while Joe was in Europe with Helen. Who knows if he really got to fulfill that dream one year later. So many things can change in that time frame. This was a show that people like me could get involved in and it all seemed so real. I hoe that USA continues the reruns for many, many years.
One of my absolute favorite sitcoms of all time. A cleverly written and extremely well acted show revolving around 8 people's lives and their jobs which are based at the airport. The cast is terrific and I won't bore you with each character's nuances other than to say all the roles were very well cast. The comedy is ironic, sarcastic, sardonic, slapstick, politically incorrect, and sexist. And those are but a handful of reasons I loved this show. Now that the show has gone to DVD I would recommend it highly whether you were a fan or would like to see smart comedy. If you weren't a fan you'll see many familiar faces and it was, after all, the show that launched the career of Tony Shalhoub (MONK). Hope you love it the way I did!
It's a shame that I have to stay up until 3am to watch wings on Nick at Nite. It's a real funny and sometimes feel good show. With all the bad news in the world today we need more wonderful shows like Wings. I really hope the the show will soon be avalible on dvd. I always look for it when im at Best Buy or walmart. One of the best episodes was when Carlton pretended to break his leg at Helens house and had to stay over. I laughed my butt off when he held up a drinking glass and shook it front of Fay and yelled out "EMPTY". Lowel was also one of the characters that really made the show a success. If my spelling is off please forgive me, it's late and im beat. I hope someone can tell me if they ever hear of the show coming onto dvd. Jim
wings is not one of my favorite sit-coms. it IS my favorite sit-com. it is not only unique in that it's not set in a worn out new york or los angeles, but on the small island of nantucket, which orders up much more creativity and imagination from its writers, but it's also one of the best ensemble casts ever put together. few shows have beckoned me to fall in love with and care about the plight of such endearing characters. and it was such a disappointment when thomas hayden church left the show. he had truly honed a lovably unique and funny character on the show. the flaws and strengths of all the characters are so aptly attended to. wings is intelligent and witty with superb writing and superb conveying and interpretation of that writing in its fine actors. it is the only show that makes me feel like i'm with family when i join it... that makes me want to be a part of that family, joe, helen, brian, lowell, casey, antonio, alex, roy and faye. it's heartening to know that many others would like to see this fantastic piece of work come to DVD. so please...give our spirits WINGS!
