Wings Sixth Season Tim Daly
Most comedies hit their stride in their second season. It usually takes that long to get a good handle on the characters and really get things humming. While Wings was certainly good by Season Two, I personally believe that it wasn't until Season Six that it truly hit its peak. The often wooden Alex departed and was replaced by Helen's sister, Casey. Casey was comedy gold and added an energy that the show had lacked up to this point. The writing also seems to have taken a step forward and the number of laugh-out-loud funny moments goes way up from past seasons.
If you've never watched Wings, you probably don't want to come in quite this late... you should probably go back to Wings - The Complete Third Season at least. But if you've watched several seasons and are wondering if it's worth it to keep going, the answer is an emphatic "Yes!"
We loved the Wings sitcom and have enjoyed watching them all again through this series. They are done professionally and lived up to our expectations.
BalasHapusLoved Wings when it originally aired and was delighted to re-visit the characters at the airport on Nantucket Island. Love every one of the characters and the situations they get involved in. Love to watch a couple episodes before I turn the tv off for the night. I go to sleep with sweet dreams and a smile on my face!
BalasHapusI love Wings, have recently seen it on TV and am happy to have these videos to watch all the episodes I missed

I love season six of wings because it's the start of Joe and Helen's life together as a couple.
BalasHapusIts a great show to watch again. The gangs all here and there are lots of laughs. I really love seeing Tony Shalhoub as Antonio.
BalasHapusGet set to laugh as the classic sixth season of Wings has arrived from Paramount Home Entertainment.
BalasHapusSet on Nantucket Island, the series followed the exploits of Sandpiper Airlines, a small one plane operation that commutes between the Island and Boston as well as other points of interest. The airline is owned by Joe Hackett (Timothy Daly), who is a stickler for details and a solid if unexciting individual.
The laughs start to fly when the supporting cast comes into play, as the characters all have a very interesting history. There is Helen (Crystal Bernard). an aspiring Cellist who runs the airport lunch counter. She has been friends with Brian and Joe since childhood but was hampered by her weight which she lost in becoming a very attractive lady. Then there is Lowell (Thomas Hayden Church), the simple, yet eccentric mechanic, who is a whiz with planes as he is with oddball saying and situations.
Rounding out the cast are Rebecca Schull as Faye, a former airline hostess who has buried her past three husbands, and who runs the counter at Sandpiper, and Roy Biggins, (David Schramm), who owns a much larger airline chain that competes with Sandpiper
The season opens with Helen leaving for New York to marry the wealthy Davis Lynch after spending a night with Joe. Joe follows Helen and convinces her to accept his marriage proposal. Hilarious consequences ensue as the duo plans for their wedding and have to deal with the arrival of Helen's sister Casey (Amy Yasbeck), who has had to abandon her socialite ways after being dumped by her husband. As the season progresses, we get to see Joe and Helen plan for their wedding, Case and Brian deal with their lot in life, and Antonio (Tony Shalhoub) the cab driver deal with fealings for his Cousins Fiance as well as his desires for Casey which he is unable to utter.
Some of the best moments include Lowel purchasing a wax museum, Debbie Reynolds and Helen's mom and a psychotic air traffic controller. All of which leads to one of the most humor filled weddings ever filmed
Never a dull moment, this set will keep you laughing.
While most shows start to fade after their first couple of seasons, this show keeps getting stronger and this is a collection for fans and collectors alike.
5 stars out of 5
This is one of the best seasons of Wings. What a great show this was !
BalasHapusMy only complaint, and this happens with different series of TV shows on DVD and movies. Seasons 1 through 5 all came in the same packaging and now season 6 is different. Doesn't make this a bad product .. it just isn't the same. It's all plastic.
Oh well ... this is a great set none the less !
