Wings	comment	Wings is a Work Com that aired on NBC from 1990â€“97, created by Cheers producers (and future Frasier creators) David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee.Set at Tom Nevers Field on the island of Nantucket (part of Massachusetts), Wings focused on the complicated relationship between idealistic young pilot Joe Hackett (Tim Daly), owner of the struggling one-plane airline (or air dot) Sandpiper Air, and his oversexed, undermotivated brother Brian (Steven Weber).Other characters included Helen Chappel (Crystal Bernard), who works as the proprietor of the airport's lunch counter while Waiting for a Break as a professional cellist, a lifelong friend of both Hackett brothers and eventually Joe's wife; Lowell Mather (Thomas Haden Church), the lovably dumb airport mechanic; Fay Cochran (Rebecca Schull), a daffy retired flight attendant now working as Sandpiper Air's ticket clerk and flight announcer; and Roy Biggins (David Schramm), the greedy owner of rival carrier Aeromass. Later additions to the cast included sad-sack cab driver Antonio (after Tony Shalhoub scored in a small role as a waiter), who joined the cast in the third season and remained for the rest of the show's run; Alex Lambert (Farrah Forke), an ex-Army helicopter pilot who dated Brian for a while; Helen's neurotic sister Casey (Amy Yasbeck), who joined for the final three seasons after Forke left; and Budd Bronski (Brian Haley), brought in as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Lowell after Thomas Haden Church left at the end of the sixth season for a lead role on Ned & Stacey.Not related to the 1927 Academy Award winning film Wings (also produced by Paramount), Paul McCartney's '70s solo group, the final volume of the Nomes Trilogy, the Discovery Channel show about military airplanes which eventually spawned its own network (now known as the Military Channel) or Winged Humanoid.

Wings / int_106bcf31	comment	Faked Gift Acceptance: Inverted in a strange way in "Crate Expectations". On Joe's birthday, he's talking on the phone with his girlfriend who sent him a gift of a Goya hat. While he's thanking her for the hat, we see Lowell in the background taking the hat out of the trash and trying it on.

His celebrity vanishes almost instantly when everyone becomes obsessed instead with a cat who saved her owners from a house fire. Brian is extremely depressed over this, but Joe pulls him out of it by reminding him that while the rest of the world may no longer care, everyone who was on that flight will always remember his heroism.

Antonio's girlfriend Edna, "the big-faced girl". Likely because there isn't an actress on earth who could match people's mental image of the character. Helen's father is mentioned quite a bit, but he never appears in person. Originally played straight and then averted with Roy's mother Eleanor. Much like Bevo and Edna, Roy's mother was described in such a way that it seemed impossible to find someone who could do her justice but Dick Van Dyke Show star Rose Marie managed to fit the bill perfectly when Eleanor was finally show in season 8's "Heartache Tonight".

Although, the episodes might as well highlight the 'funny' parts of their lives - the business flights are cut off, unless they're important to the plot. This is occasionally Hand Waved by having one of them say it's the off-season or that business just happens to be slow at the moment.

In "What the Cabbie Saw", she announces that the flight is being delayed due to "a hole in the wing", and in another episode, she claims that the pilot is busy "doing an important pilot thing". In "Take My Life, Please", Fay is trying to keep Helen from entering Joe's office while she and the rest of the group are busy altering the results of Helen's career placement test, and the best excuse she can come up with is, "We're dressing!" Casey zig-zags this trope. In "Nuptials Off", Helen is having to run off to Mexico to get a quickie divorce from Antonio but cannot let Joe become aware of the situation. She asks Casey to cover for her absence, instructing her to tell anyone who asks that "Helen's at the store". Over the course of the episode, Casey becomes more and more nervous, being quicker and quicker to blurt this out at just the slightest provocation, whether or not Helen is even being mentioned. However, previous episodes showed her to be a skilled liar, as she managed for months to keep her parents from finding out that her husband had left her.

The show itself begins with Brian and Joe being sent on a scavenger hunt by their late father, only to be disappointed when it seems to prove fruitless. The series finale has them sent off on another one. Only this time it ends with them finding a briefcase full of $250,000. The show also begins with one Hackett brother running Sandpiper and Chappel sister manning the lunch counter, and ends with the other Hackett brother and Chappel sister taking over these positions.

Wings / int_762b9ea8	comment	The Worst Seat in the House: In the episode "The Bank Dick," Joe tries to persuade Helen to let him use the box-seat Red Sox tickets she gave him while they were dating to take his new girlfriend to the game instead. He presents Helen with a new ticket for her to use and tries to claim the "obs vu" printed on the ticket is "Latin for 'excellent seat,'" but a bank patron reveals to Helen that it means "obstructed view" and the new ticket will probably have her sitting behind a pole. In "I Love Brian", Brian tries to win Alex over by claiming that he is good friends with Clint Black and can therefore get tickets to his sold-out concert. Brian lucks out when he manages to buy tickets off of Lowell that the latter had previously acquired, but his truthfulness is still called into question when the seats turn out to be in the nosebleed section.

Yet from that point on, she is written as if her relationship with Helen and the Hackett brothers had been an integral part of the continuity from day one. Antonio is a downplayed version of the trope. In his first appearance in season 2, he is a waiter, and doesn't seem to have any particular friendship with the main cast. In season 3, he becomes a cab driver based in the terminal where the rest of the group works, and is immediately treated as a regular member of the group with no introductory phase whatsoever. The Season Six two-parter "Remembrance of Flings Past" introduces Sara, a former girlfriend of Brian's who is treated as possibly the great love of his life... who had somehow never been mentioned before.

The wrath of all of Massachusetts descends on Joe and Brian, but the airline is saved from disaster when the hockey star abruptly leaves the team to sign a huge contract with their rivals. In what sporting league is one able to walk out on one's contract and immediately join a rival in the middle of the season? Not the NHL, at least. In "Blackout Buggins", the group goes to Fenway Park to watch Roy sing the national anthem. After Roy finishes the song, a Red Sox player with the name Casey on his jersey is seen taking the field. The Red Sox have never featured player names on the back of their home jerseys.

Done with Roy yet again in "Let's Talk About Sex" when he dates a talk show host whom Antonio idolizes, causing the latter to have something akin to a mental breakdown. This was Joe's reaction to Helen's relationship with Davis Lynch. However, the others are quick to point out that Davis is actually a pretty good guy, and Joe's reasons for disliking him are strictly personal (Davis refused to invest in Joe's airline and then began dating his old girlfriend).

In "Life Could Be a Dream", Joe, Brian, Casey, and Helen read letters that they wrote as children of what they envisioned their futures to be like. Joe is a star baseball player, Brian is a James Bond-esque secret agent, Casey is a famous model, and Helen is the world's most successful "rock cellist". Helen's letter turns out to be a subversion, however. The rock star thing was something she made up on the spot after hearing the others' letters. Her real dream was to be Joe Hackett's wife.

When they realize that their memories are mostly of the unhappy sort (the mom eventually left the family while the dad became insane), they begin destroying it themselves. In "Moonlighting", the others help Alex feel better about her embarrasing job as a server in a medieval-themed restaurant by sharing stories of their worst work experiences (Joe was the personal pilot for a chimpanzee, Fay was the mascot for a seafood restaurant, Antonio was a salesman for a funeral company, and Helen and Brian worked as stage magicians who didn't realize they had been booked to do a strip show).

When he returns to the airport following the broadcast, Fay gives him a bunch of phone messages he received: "You got three death threats, ten calls from women who think they can change you, and an 'Atta Boy' from Andrew Dice Clay." A humorous version of this trope is used in the episode â€œMy Brotherâ€™s Keeperâ€�. When Brian starts dating Mimsy Borogroves, an older woman who decides to invest millions of dollars in Nantucket, all of the main characters are delighted except his brother Joe. Joeâ€™s shame vanishes after Borogroves offers to give him money for a new airplane. However, when Brian tells Joe that he has taken Joeâ€™s advice and ended the relationship, everybody loses as Mimsy then backs away from all her planned investments and leaves the island.

In an early episode Joe mentions that he saw Helen naked once and they didn't talk for a couple years, but in "It's Not the Thought, it's the Gift", its shown he attended Helen's eleventh birthday party and most likely talked with her. In Season Five, Antonio is dating a "big-faced" girl named Denise. When the character is brought up again in Season Seven, her name has been changed to Edna. In the pilot, Brian has no idea who Lowell is and Joe even has to explain to him that Lowell's family has been on the island for years. However, later episodes imply that Joe, Brian, and Helen have all known Lowell since they were kids and even went to school with him.

Brian lucks out when he manages to buy tickets off of Lowell that the latter had previously acquired, but his truthfulness is still called into question when the seats turn out to be in the nosebleed section.

The opening and ending of "Joe Blows" are similiar to Sunset Boulevard. Carlton Blanchard was named after a character from the 1927 film that shares its name with the series. Incidentally, Carlton's actor, William Hickey, was born that same year. The episode "My Brother's Keeper" features a character named "Mimsy Borogroves".

Then the insurance agent who refused to believe the fires were an accident burns down her hotel room while having sex. Brian's reaction to Joe burning down his house is not nearly as strong as Joe's reaction to Brian burning down his house. Joe temporarily threw Brian out of his life, but was convinced, using reversed psychology, by the ghost of their dad, to let him back in. In contrast, Brian did not display any negativity towards Joe, even when Joe begged for him to do so (and Joe even criticized him for not doing so).

When Brian corrects him, Lowell disagrees, stating that Wonderland is a dog track and would be closed in the winter.

The wrath of all of Massachusetts descends on Joe and Brian, but the airline is saved from disaster when the hockey star abruptly leaves the team to sign a huge contract with their rivals. In what sporting league is one able to walk out on one's contract and immediately join a rival in the middle of the season? Not the NHL, at least. Additionally, for every pissed-off fan, there would've been three who would've ridiculed this guy for trying to pull the "Do you know who I am?" card. And on top of that, if it was that close to game time, shouldn't he have been at the arena already? If such a thing happened in the real world, the sports media would have been chewing him out mercilessly. In "Blackout Buggins", the group goes to Fenway Park to watch Roy sing the national anthem. After Roy finishes the song, a Boston Red Sox player with the name Casey on his jersey is seen taking the field. The Red Sox have never featured player names on the back of their home jerseys.

There's an even stronger case of cast derivation from Wings Spiritual Predecessor, Taxi: Joe/Alex is the Straight Man to Schemer Brian/Bobby, Jerkass Roy/Louie messes with the others, Funny Foreigner Antonio/Latka and Cloud Cuckoolander Lowell/Reverend Jim each serve as an Ensemble Dark Horse, Helen/Elaine is the Girly Girl, and Fay/Tony is the affable Ditz.

In the first story, the duo are going to a fishing spot... but they end up just sitting in the terminal bar and commenting on the goings-on, just like they do on Cheers. They never get to fish, but decide they had a great time anyway.

Wings / int_eb9e6184	comment	Stupid Sexy Flanders: In "Noses Off", while the guys are having a bull session about famous men they think are handsome, Antonio goes a little overboard in praising gymnast Mitch Gaylord. Brian's attempt to establish plausible deniability on Kevin Costner may go even worse. Antonio finally exits the conversation, saying, "Excuse me. I have to go pick up a copy of something with naked women in it."

Antonio is clinking his spoon in a coffee mug, Joe is noodling on a guitar, and Brian is flipping through a magazine. Then Lowell starts sanding the door frame nearby. His rhythmic sanding coincides with Antonio's clinking beat. Suddenly Brian starts scatting, and they're doing a full-on Bossanova number. Eventually they realize what's happened and pauseâ€”â€”before continuing right on with the music.

Season Six's "The Shrink" features George Plimpton as Dr. Grayson, a psychiatrist who helps Brian get over his breakup with Alex. When a psychiatrist was needed again for "One Flew Over the Cooper's Nest" a year later, Plimpton was unavailable, so the producers cast Robert Joy as Dr. Grayson's son, who had taken over his father's practice.

Joe is extremely concerned about this, but Brian, Alex and Helen make numerous remarks about the bear. Helen nearly subverts this: Also, in "Joe Blows" part 2, we see Helen and Lowell both calling in a missing person report. Helen is calling for Joe, describing him, while Lowell is calling for his Harley Davidson which Joe rode away on. In "Duet for Cello and Plane", an old woman keeps calling Roy by a foreign word that sounds insulting — she finally defines it by pointing at the hindquarters of a horse picture (i.e. she's calling him a horse's ass). Roy finally gets it — and is thrilled that she thinks he's a stallion.

Wings / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Roy had just enough of these moments that he was able to avoid being an unlikeable Jerkass. An especially prominent one is in "Let's Talk About Sex" when he breaks up with his talk show host girlfriend after she ambushes Joe and Helen on her show. Another good example is the episode "If Elected, I Will Not Live" which involved Roy making a passionate plea to Fay to throw an election for city council. Notable also, in that most mentions of his city council work show him to be competent at it. An almost-literal example is seen in another episode, when Roy is shown petting his "hamster" (a stress toy that his doctor gave him) when talking to Fay about how his wife left him.
