Product Description:
Follows the adventures of two brothers who run a local airport and their quirky employees.
Amazon.com:
A popular and well-regarded comedy that ran for eight seasons in the '90s, Wings was created by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee, the team that worked together on Cheers and later created Frasier. Tim Daly and Steven Weber play two brothers, Joe and Brian Hackett, respectively, who parted ways many years ago when a woman left Joe to marry Brian. Joe, the straitlaced do-everything-right brother, is running Sandpiper Air, a small airline on the island of Nantucket that runs commuter flights to the New England coast, when he reluctantly offers a job to Brian, the carefree brother who's also a pilot. Others who work at the airport are Helen (Crystal Bernard), the former girl-next-door who now works the lunch counter and aspires to be a professional cello player; Lowell (Thomas Haden Church), the not-all-there mechanic; Roy (David Schramm), the owner of the rival airline AeroMass; and Fay, who handles Sandpiper's front desk. Over the short (six episodes) first season, Joe and Brian develop romantic triangles over both Helen and Brian's ex-wife, Carol (Kim Johston Ulrich), and Brian tries to set up Joe with the island tramp (Megan Mullaly). In the second season, the romantic entanglements continue, Joe develops a health problem that keeps him from flying, and we meet the last major member of the cast, Italian cab driver Antonio Scarpacci (Tony Shalhoub). Guest stars include Cheers' George Wendt and John Ratzenberger, Abraham Benrubi (ER) as Roy's son, and David Ogden Stiers as a conductor whom Helen tries to impress. While much of the regular cast faded from view after Wings, Shalhoub and Church garnered critical acclaim for their work on Monk and Sideways, respectively. --David Horiuchi

I'm a tail-end Baby Boomer-meaning that I was born between 1954, and 1964. My segment of the Boomers, were always over-shadowed in the media, by both our older Boomer brethren, and Gen-Xers. So, it was great to finally find a sitcom like "Wings", with tail-end Boomers as the main focus of the show. I could identify with these guys, since we hailed from the same generational zeitgeist, so-to-speak.
The series revolved around two very different brothers, named Joe and Brian Hackett. Joe ... Read More

I love Wings the show, but Wings the DVD is horrible! As other reviewers have stated, the picture quality equals that of a home-made VHS tape. What's a VHS tape?... I'm waiting for it to come out on Blu-Ray, so should you.
P.S. Crystal Bernard is BABELICIOUS!

If I can think of the TV shows that I usually watched during the 90's, Wings easily comes to my mind, and I remember every episode well although that fact was reinforced by having seen the reruns on USA channel. To this day, I am very astounded to learn that the very first episode aired nineteen years ago. Has time moved so fast? What I liked the best about Wings is its soft comedy with low expectations as this proved to be true in the first two seasons of Wings. Right now, I am looking at DVD cover ... Read More

Loved the series and the subplots it had in each episode. The epidode 'Plane 9 From Nantucket' was precious. I laughed my head off when they were in the plane and the passengers put on foil hats and had light bulbs in their mouths. Thanks to X-files for the inspiration.
