Description:
Created by the same production team responsible for the hugely popular series Cheers, Wings has a similarly homey, familiar feel. Replacing the Boston bar is a small airport on Nantucket Island. The denizens of the bar are replaced with pilots and airport personnel. What the viewers are left with is a delightful show revolving around Sandpiper Air Service, a tiny charter airline co owned by two handsome, charming brothers, a rival airline, Aeromass, and a lunch counter run the brothers' life-long friend, Helen.
Amazon.com:
Despite some outdated clothes and hairdos, Wings has a timeless quality that makes repeat viewings of the sitcom worthwhile. A comedy with heart, the show--which originally aired during the 1993-1994 season--is filled with humor, great acting, and a cast that shares genuine chemistry. At its core, Wings is about the relationship between the Hackett brothers. Joe (Timothy Daly) is the more serious and responsible of the two. So it's surprising when he ends up dating an immature 19 year old. And his younger brother Brian (Steven Weber) has always been the carefree one, so when he forges into a monogamous relationship with sexy helicopter pilot Alex (Farrah Forke), it's a refreshing and unexpected change of pace. The brothers aren't the only ones working on their relationships. Lowell (Thomas Haden Church) marries and divorces the clueless Bunny (Laura Innes, ER) on the same day. And Helen forges into a romance with a handsome millionaire who she believes just may be the one (Never mind that we all know she belongs with Joe). The problem that occurs with shows such as this is normally when the writers dangle the promise of a romance between the main characters, the audience isn't ready. Wings takes its time, so the Joe-Helen dalliance hasn't outgrown its welcome yet. The supporting cast is superb, particularly Tony Shalhoub, who shines as the often put-upon cab driver Antonio Scarpacci. Shalhoub can say more with just one look than most actors can with multiple lines. And busybody Roy (David Schramm) turns out to be quite the puppet master when he spreads rumors about all the employees who work at the Sandpiper Airplane Terminal, touching on their insecurities and flaws. The season finale ends with heartache for one of the main characters... and the promise of a new season with much more dramedy. --Jae-Ha Kim

I never watched Wings until syndication. It is a very funny show, and I have enjoyed the DVD's. It would be better to skip the previews on the first DVD.

Wing's was and is a great show. Gee whiz almost ten years to wait to see it when lesser ones that lasted nary a season popped onto DVD. My only hope is that they will have extras soon.The cast seemed to enjoy each other and embodie their roles and that added to the fun and reality of it all. I missed it when it went off and am mighty glad it's finally on DVD.

My husband loved this show when it first came out, and when it finally came on DVD, we bought up each season as it was released, and can't wait to get the rest. I remember watching it occasionally when it first came on TV, but now that we own it we both watch it all the time! It's a great sit-com and a good replacement for all of the hours that we have previously spent watching all of our 10 seasons of FRIENDS DVDs. Actually, we have found quite a few similarities to the plots of the two. If ... Read More

My mom and I loved this show when it first aired. We were puzzled as to why it wasnt on dvd yet, since there were lesser tv shows on dvd already. Both of us were glad to see theyve come to their senses and have put this show out on dvd.
The discs are wonderful, everything looks great. If you loved the show, buy these sets.
