WOW....You are ONE "class act". Peter! (and so are your DVD cases)!

One suggestion, though....I realize that this would be a LOT more work for you, but you may want to consider different cover photos for different seasons of the show....

An early photo of the cast (with Lowell and minus Antonio) for the first and second seasons, a later photo with everyone except Alex and Casey for the "middle" run, a photo with Alex (that "metal staircase on wheels" shot would be great) for the "Alex" seasons...and of course, that EXCELLENT "playing with toy planes" shot that you're currently using for the later "Casey" seasons.

I never make things easy, do I? :rolleyes:

yeah i'd like to do that but I personally am not taping the episodes myself as I dont live in america, i have a friend in los angeles who is recording them on dvd for me. So the episodes are mixed up, but i am not bothered as long as i get all 172 episodes in the end! ;)

he is doing a really excellent job at the series, the quality is fantastic (as seen on my website) screenshots.

OK gang, let's pass the hat here....Let's cough up enough money to fly Peter to America, and let's see about getting him a job in the marketing or production department at Columbia House or Paramount Home Video....We NEED a guy like this working in our corner to bring "WINGS" to DVD...and to do a CLASSY, PROFESSIONAL job of it!

Great job, Peter!

I too have taken on the arduous task of recording each episode of Wings, stripping out the commercials (I kept all opening and ending titles and credits), and burning to DVD. Once N@N airs some of the episodes they skipped last time around, I will have all Wings episodes on DVD - in order (no, I cannot sell copies).

Here is the coverart that I came up with (attached below). Each season is color coded and each cover list the episodes on back. Couldn't find picture for each season that were high enough quality for the cover, so I used this one throughout.

I have also made labels for my DVD's. Here's a sample.

Everybody's DVD Cover Art looks GREAT! I don't have a DVD Writer :( At least I have a CDRW in my computer so I can atleast try to do it on VCD ;) At least VCDs won't wear out like VHS tapes...

Great work, hojni! That color photo of the "Wings" gang that you're using on your cover has always been one of my favorite "Post-Lowell" shots of the cast!

It's nice to see that "Wings" is getting the "Royal Treatment" from people who are building DVD collections of episodes....but then, this series DESERVES it!

Maybe you can let us know when you have all the shows on DVD and make a copy for all the fans and "give" them to us. Then we can give a big check for your "birthday" or something like that. Trying to get around the legal issues. :talk: :talk:

Hmmm, what other shows have been released on DVD that are owned by Paramount? It is Paramount that owns Wings, right? I read this business side of entertainment-type magazine at work called "Video Store". TV shows on DVD are getting LOTS of attention lately. Anyway, there's to be another "TV on DVD" summit soon, and among the studios/companies sending reps is Paramount. Wings may be released within the next year. I wouldn't be surprised.
