Hell yeah!

that's awesome

I really want to see Tony win this award and be able to ENJOY the evening and his victory!

(Remember how the poor guy was so broken up with grief at the Emmy Awards because his nephew had just passed away?)

It's great to see someone from Wings finally getting the attention the respect they deserve. :D

I've tried watching Monk and I really don't understand the appeal. I'm just not into crime drama shows. I couldn't stand The Fugitive either.

I don't understand Monk's appeal as a crime drama show, either...mostly because it's a comedy. :D

My aunt loves the show and especially Tony, but I don't think she has seen an episode of Wings.

Yes, it's great to see at least one cast member being recognized. Maybe Steven will be nominated for an Emmy next year for his guest spot on I'm With Her. He was pretty darn funny in that one.

Maybe 'Sideways' will be nominated for a Golden Globe or an Oscar next year. I'd like to see Thomas get an award for a change. It was directed by the 'About Shmidt' dude, so it's bound to get awards.

"Wings" had some GREAT Christmas episodes! (Actually, the only one that I didn't care for was the one where Joe got the Video Store lady fired...but that really wasn't hardcore "Holiday"-themed...That plot could have happened at ANY time of the year!).

The Christmas episodes were FAR from the sentimental, schmaltzy fare that we often see in other series' holiday episodes. In fact, "Wings" seemed to showcase aspects of the holidays that many people HATE! (Getting together with people that you really don't want to see, pressure to put on the "perfect" Christmas party, getting the short end of a gift exchange, etc.).

Like our earlier discussion about dark "black comedy" episodes that deal with death and the like, "Wings" ignored it's image as a "nice, benign" sitcom to give us some Christmas episodes that humorously show the truly NASTY side of the holidays!
