Even though N@N hasn't treated Wings well, we still have one thing for which to thank them. Apparently, N@N finally listened to the viewer complaints about squeezing the end credits to side of the screen and drowning out the dialouge when there's a scene. Or they realized most of Roseanne has scenes during the end credits. Either way, the next time seasons 6-8 are shown, the scenes at end may not be ruined by N@N ads.

It appears that I thanked N@N too soon. They still have to get their promo in for Cheers. But hopefully, when Roseanne starts and Wings is on at 3:30 a.m., N@N will consider not ruining the end credits scenes.

This whole Roseanne thing is kind of crazy. Sure it's popular, but why is it going to be on 2 cable stations? Why can't Wings be on 2 stations? If only there was a way to get WGN or TBS to pick up Wings. Imagine if Wings was on WGN or TBS for an hour somewhere between 5 and 8 p.m. on weekdays. Or maybe both stations could both stations could pick it up. Then Wings could be on for 2 hours before N@N's puny 3:30 a.m. airing.

I also wish other stations would also pick up Wings. Other long-running shows, like The Cosby Show, Friends, and Roseanne air on as many as three or four stations in an area. I don't understand why the same thing can't happen to Wings.

I know I've said it before and I'll say it again: I will NEVER understand the animosity towards Wings. EVER!!! I like it so much better than I like some of the critially-acclaimed, award-winning favorites out there.

the real reason as stated by Nick is that WINGS is just not popular enough..unfortunately!

Not that I agree with that, then why do they air a show a they consider "unpopular"?:mad: :mad:

I don't know how they can call Wings unpopular when it aired for 8 seasons and still has a decent fan base 6 years after it ended. It may not have the huge fan base that other shows do, but I think it still has a good amount of fans. Shows need time to developp an audience. N@N only gave Wings two weeks and those two weeks were during the war with Iraq.

yes i agree, I never meant to make it sound like WINGS was unpopular (perhaps that is the wrong word to use)... I mean Wings is not as "acclaimed" as sitcoms such as Cheers, Cosby or Roseanne.

As I only saw my first episode of WINGS ever this May, It is now my 2nd favourite show..next to Will & Grace.;)

I read at the Three's Company board that TC got moved to 3 a.m. starting in Sept, only one airing a day I guess, so TC fans know how Wings fans feel.

I bet N@N will say TC isn't popular either :mad: :mad: :mad:

"Three's Company" probably wound up on NICK'S "crap list" after the folks at NICK found out that John Ritter had guested on "Wings"!

And Amy Yasbeck guest-stared on The Cosby show. Maybe that will be the death knell for Cosby! :D

Same Here, If it hadnt came to Nick At Nite i probably wouldnt have became a fan. The timeslot is ok to me since im up til About 6 Anyway But i really hate them airing commercials during the ending scenes, Its VERY annoying.

Actually, Roseanne is on Oxygen Network, too. There is only one episode of Roseanne that I saw and that was the one with Ann Wedgeworth (Lana from Threes Company). So, its really 3 stations. :'(

NICK added the 1 AM showing following John Ritter's death, but originally there was going to be only showing at 3 AM.

Okay, so Roseanne is on Oh! Oxygen.
I think that N@N should get Absolutely Fabulous!
I'd like to see an AbFab/Wings marathon on Nick at Nite!!!
I can never get enough of Eddy, Patsy and Lowell!

the brand new series of Ab Fab airing over here in the UK on BBC1 is soo funny, The best series by far.
You should get it over there in America in a few months.

Well worth a look -Saffy has a baby;)

I like the show because Eddy has so many unrealistic expectations (actually, she reminds me of alot of women). She wants to be as thin as Twiggy, but she's a chronic eater. She thinks she lives a glamorous life, but in reality she's just an old, crotchity former-hippie mother.

I can just imagine the whole baby situation. It will probibly be like Archie Bunker with Meathead's son. He loves the baby, but he still hates the son-in-law, or in Eddy's case, she hates her daughter but loves the baby...

the baby turns out to be half cast (half white/half black) and Edi just sees it as a fashion statement - the black baby everone wants:lol:
that show is soo funny

I also HATE britcoms with a passion, AB FAB is the only British show I watch, the rest is all American, Apart from the australian soap "Neighbours", i dont think you have that show in the US do you?:confused:

On BBC America, a digital channel. (I wish my local cable company would add on a British and Canadian package so I can see what's so great about Sky Network and so I can have YTV and Teletoon:) YTV seems to show alot of anime, more then Cartoon Network in the US. All we can choose from a Eurasian/East Asian stuff or French and Spanish stuff. )
All I know about 'Neighbours' is that the Spice Girls mentioned it alot in their "Girl Power!" book and that popstar was on it... whatsherface... wasn't her name Natalie or something?
Sorry, but my UK/OZ knowledge doesn't really extend beyond Harry Potter, AbFab, Gary Oldman, Phil Collins, Music groups and Farscape :)
I'm so generic!
