View Full Version : What's Going ON Here????
pilotguy 05-03-2003, 07:57 AM OK, fine.....NICK decides to move "WINGS" to 1 AM....I'm not THRILLED with that, but I can deal with it simply by programming my VCR to tape the show every night at 1 AM....
but NOW I find out that they're REALLY messing things up by throwing in "WINGS" episodes at 2:30 AM on certain nights (without much notice or fanfare)...and those 2:30 shows are NOT repeats of 1 AM shows!
What's going ON here?
wingshock 05-03-2003, 09:33 AM I don't know! but last night I had to remember to change the vcr timer to tape at 1am & 2:30, and then tonight I have to change it to just tape 2:30, then tomorrow change it back to 1!
It's exhausting! :(
Love,
Wing<><
pilotguy 05-03-2003, 09:37 AM I'll tell you ONE thing....
At least with a 1 AM showing, I can TRY to stay up and watch the episode "live" even though I'm taping it.
I tend to be a "night person", and there are some nights when I'm wide-awake at 1 AM....
but there is absolutely NO WAY that I'm even going to TRY to be awake at 2:30 AM! If the VCR isn't programmed to pick up the show at 2:30, then I guess I lose!
wingshock 05-03-2003, 09:48 AM I can't even stay up for the 1am show. I need 8 hours o sleep every night so I really need to be asleep by 11 when I gotta work the next day, that is. I would really love to have Wings on at 10 & 10:30, then I could get a good laugh before going to sleep.
When it was on at 11:00/11:30 I was happy, but then I was pushing myself to stay up till midnight...
Oh well... I'm sure am thankful for my vcr.
Love,
Wing
c5guy 05-03-2003, 09:59 AM I'm hardcore......I stuck it out to the end. :crazy: It helps that I was just getting back from going out. Even made it to a 8 am haircut appointment.....................I'm going to take a nap!
pilotguy 05-03-2003, 10:21 AM In my younger, bar-hopping days I had NO problem being wide-awake at 2:30 AM....In fact, many times I was sitting in Denny's with my friends, downing after-hours eggs, hash-browns and coffee....I STILL can't believe that I ate that stuff at that hour!
Oh well, time marches on.....

A grand slam after a night of putting on a buzz ahh those were the days of youth:crazy:
Krista2882 05-03-2003, 05:27 PM the ones at 2:30 aren't reruns of the 1:00 episodes?!! how annoying!
I gotta start setting my VCR!
and I usually stay up every night to watch the 1:00 episodes. sometimes I'm kinda tired, but a lot of times I'm wide awake. I'm a night person. I love staying up late. even if I have to get up at 8:30 the next morning for class.
But I don't think I'll be staying up until 3 just to watch the 2:30 episodes...
I :heart: my VCR

ziggy4500 05-03-2003, 06:51 PM damn, sometimes i try to stay up for the 1 shows, and i fall alseep during it..well i'm recording it, but when i wake up, its like hapy days on or something..i guess my commerical free wings collection will be more...damn nick at night
blackbeard 05-03-2003, 07:23 PM whoever owns the rights to Wings I wish they would just release them on DVD's. I WANT MY WINGS DVDS NOW then who cares what N@N does.
Chocoholic 05-03-2003, 09:52 PM I'm so sick of N@N! I know we should all just be thankful that they're showing it, but Wings is too good of a TV show to deserve this type of horrible treatment.
AgtSkye 05-04-2003, 05:05 AM Hi everyone.
I've been lurking here for a week and a half, and finally signed up tonight, or this morning. Anyway, I used to watch Wings a loooong time ago. First started watching it around 92 or 93 when it first started on USA, then found it later on NBC.
Anyway, I just found it again, and it has been fun rewatching all these old, great episodes. I too wish it were on earlier, but it's not so bad for me because I've become a major night owl after coming back from some time I spent in England. It really messed up my circadian rhythm to say the least.
Anyway, as for the airings being at really sketchy times...here on the west coast I see tonight that it is supposed to be on at 2am as well as 2:30. (I notice that quite a few of you are in the eastern and central time zones. Any other Californians here?) I am about to find out the truth in a few minutes. I nearly missed out on the second 2:30am ep last night. Am glad I stayed up! I hope the rest of you are able to not miss any more of them. I know how maddening it can be...
.....baaahhhh...they're having on All in the Family. Guess it wasn't meant to be, and the tv guide channel is full of $#@*! :p
wingshock 05-04-2003, 09:45 AM Yeah, you really gotta go to the Nick at Nite website & check the schedule there. That's the only thing you can trust.
Plus it tells you which ep# is showing, so you'll know.
http://www.tvland.com/nickatnite/schedule
I went to that other website where you vote for shows to be released to dvd:
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com
When I voted for Wings it was ranked #71... but I have no idea whether the studios actually pay attention to that site... but I figured it couldn't hurt, right?
Love,
Wing<><
mrsthomashadenchurch 05-04-2003, 12:49 PM I'm a night person to. I stay up for the 12:00 showing even though I wake up 5:00 am to go to work. I have found that the less sleep I get the less tired I am. Is that weird? That is where I am lucky. It show's here at 12:00.

hi and welcome to the board!
and yeah, last night since wings wasn't on at 1 AM, I looked at the TV Guide Channel which said that it was going to be on at 2 and 2:30!! I was like, "yay!!" so i set my VCR just in case I fell asleep, and I was going to watch the 2:00 episode, and then go to bed and just let the 2:30 one tape... well, at 2:00 All In The Family was on!! rrr!
So i just set my VCR for 2:30 and went to bed.
but now tonight I'll have 2 episdoes to watch. yay!

hey I'm the same way!! On weekends, if I sleep past 9:30, I'm sooo tired all day, but if i go to bed late, and wake up early, it's hard at first to get out of bed, but then I'm wide awake all day.
weird.
