Good episode. I was really confused though. I've never seen a later episode. All the episodes I've seen have been in the first three seasons, so it took me a few minutes to figure everything out. But I have one question. Is Lowell in the later episodes or just in the first few seasons?

Here is the synopsis for Loweel's last episode:
Episode 126. The Person Formerly Known as Lowell
gs: Andrew Robinson (Michael Foster) Tucker Smallwood (Agent Stark) Danny Goldring (Agent Douglas) Thomas Haden Church (Lowell)

Back from vacation,Lowell goes out for a meal of hot wings with Antonio and lands in hot water when he witnesses a mob hit.After he is threatened by the gangster's lawyer,he decides to join the Witness Protection Program and leave Nantucket forever.Rather than see the gangster released and have a chance to kill again.

Great episode though.

I know what you mean about the afternoon airing....even when I watch my videotapes of "Wings" in the daylight hours it seems weird. "Wings" just seems like a nightime show to me....I feel the same way about "Cheers" and "The Honeymooners".

(I can watch other sitcoms like "I Love Lucy" and "Dick Van Dyke" during the day with no problem at all).

However, when you stop and think about it, when "Wings" was on USA, it was shown during the daytime (as well as evening) all the time!

Wings will always be a morning show for me, since I used to watch it at 11am every weekday on USA.

However, when I used to tape "Taxi" on N@N, it felt weird watching the show during the day.

I know what you mean! It would be soooo weird to watch Wings during the day! hehe. because I'm so used to watching it late every night, up in my bedroom, on my TV... it would seem too weird to watch it during the day. lol.
Oh, one time I watched it on the big TV in the living room because our cable was out, so I watched it off of DirecTV, which is only set up on the TV in the living room, and that even seemed wicked bizarre because I was so used to watching it upstairs in my room. hehe.

Oh, what's the difference WHEN or WHERE we watch "Wings"? Years from now when I'm a retired old guy, I'll be wearing a ratty old bathrobe, sitting in front of the TV, drooling on myself...and assuming that my VCR and videotapes hold out, I'll sit there watching "Wings" episodes all day....THAT's how I plan on spending MY "Golden Years"! :crazy:

I taped it, this was a great episode, Amy and John played well off of each other in this episode. Stuart reminded me a bit of Jack Tripper with the physical stuff :lol:

The happy meal thing with Antonio was funny and Faye thinking Antonio had a thing for her, I loved it when Joe told Stuart "I am the cleaning lady" :lol:

I just watched the episode of Wings with John Ritter in it. It was the first time I saw this episode and John was great as always.

I'm hoping that by airing this episode in the afternoon, and having people watch it who usually don't watch Wings, they will find that they enjoy the show. Then maybe we'll be able to add some more new Wings fans to our group!:D
