In last night's "Airport '90" I thought it was hilarious when Lowell slapped Roy to calm him down. And then later, Roy slaps Lowell. Just the look on Roy's face as he's slapping Lowell is funny.

And then a couple episodes ago, where Roy asks Lowell to take a customer's bag, and Lowell goes up to the man's wife, thinking that she's the bag. What makes that so funny is that Roy was actually being polite for the first time. "Lowell, Please take Mr. (I forget his name)'s bag out to the plane." That'll teach Roy to be polite again.:)

One thing I didn't like was in Lowell's last episode. Sure it was funny to see Roy with a tissue "Just go". But I really wanted to see them hug. It would be the end of a really funny (as N@N would put it) Modern TV Classic Duo.

Any more classic Lowell-Roy moments? (I know there are, but I don't want to mention all of them;) )

Yup :) I love when Lowell and Roy slap eachother, plus, Lowell was trying to act all butch and in control when Helen was up there in the airplane. Lowell only acted in control and butch once in a great while, but when he did, he did it well!

How about the bit where they were using walkie-talkies?

And a few days ago I mentioned the bit in "Return To Nantucket - Part II" where Lowell misunderstood a comment about Roy being tired of "women's problems"...and Lowell thinking that Roy was really a woman dressed up as a man! Roy's horrified reaction to THAT was PRICELESS!

And of COURSE we can't forget Roy and Lowell as "Trivial Pursuit" partners!

Those two guys were a GREAT comedy team! :lol:

Yeah... the first time I saw that I laughed so hard... (That's in the Puppetmaster) Can you see Roy from where you are? Is his face red, like a tomato?

and then later... when Lowell commented who'd a thunk there were two purple El Camino's on Nantucket. LOL.

But now when I see that ep I groan all through that because I'm thinking, "Poor Lowell!!"

Love,

Wing<><

The best Roy and Lowell bits I've seen so far have been mentioned -- the walkie talkie one, complete with Moon River, and the hilarious Trivial Pursuit episode. That scene is funny beyond words. Ann Margaret!!

I think Roy is every bit as funny as Lowell. I don't see David Schramm anywhere these days. Brad Garrett played Jackie Gleason in a TV movie last year, and he did a great job.
Yet, there are times, while watching Roy, that I can visualize him playing that role.

David Schramm's comedy style reminds me a LOT of Jackie Gleason's. David never really COPIED Jackie, but I can see a definite influence there.

In the "Roy-Lowell" routines, you can see how Roy will react to Lowell's stupidity...much like how Ralph Kramden reacted to Ed Norton in "The Honeymooners"....

Plus, in later seasons David got into more physical comedy (wiggling his stomach in that crazy belly-dance, etc.)....and of course, Jackie was ALWAYS into that kind of stuff!

The only other time I think Lowell acted like that was during the hostage crisis. He sure was funny in those moments :lol:

That was hilarious. Lowell is barking intelligent orders like a drill sergeant....then he doesn't know which end is up in finding the actual airport. :lol:

Fay: "Lowell, the runway is THAT way!"
Lowell: "...RRIGHT!!"

Sorry if I'm straying from the topic, but I'm actually surprised that anybody is still replying to me after I acted like a total a$$hole last week. :mad:
I realize that I come off with an attitude sometimes, but at least I'm old enough now that I can recognize when it happens and boy... do I punish myself emotionally when I do act that way. I was actually shocked that my account or ISP wasn't blocked.
Talk about being tolerent, I haven't seen such a civil attitude on a message board in a long, long time. :)

To top this message off and to get back to the subject, I'm restoring my website back to it's former glory, thanks to some help from archive.org.
It looks much more friendly, I must admit.

Hey, what are message board friends for?:)

You're one of my favorite people here.

Just don't let that go to your head. ;)

My all time favorite line between Roy and Lowell was:
Be there or be stupid..Lowell you can do both..lol.


Cheers,
Doug in Texas

Frankly, I hadn't noticed that you had acted strangely, but I DID notice that you were absent from the board for a few days (and you were missed)......

Just remember this...The people on "Wings" were friends right up to the final episode....and ALL of them acted like (as you put it) "total a$$holes" at ONE time or another! :D

It was that post about Lowell and Roy and Kids and A Boat.

I was joking that Lowell and Roy had kids together, kind of like the movie "Junior" where a man has a baby.
I thought it was funny.
Obviously others did not.

Oh, *that*? I was wondering what you were talking about also.

Listen, honey - that was NOTHING compared to what I've seen/experienced on other boards... and didn't you and the other person apologize to each other and make up? That's what's important.

I think being quick to apologize to each other is the best thing you can do when a misunderstanding occurs... and being patient with each other. :loveya:

Love,

Wing<><

Well, see, the thing is, when there's confrontation in a post, I might write something, but I won't read the rest, so I had no idea what was going on, to be exact.
I thought that saying 'sorry' might clear things up and then I hoped for the best.
I thought if I didn't get any replies soon, I was being ignored, I wouldn't didn't want to be seen any further.

Another scene I like comes in season six.

It's where Lowell gives Roy a Mug with Lowell's face on it. "A Mug with my mug." as Lowell put it. Then after Roy has it "lost", Lowell finds it and brings it back. The story Lowell is telling and the look on Roy's face is hilarious.

I loved that episode. How come Paramount never actually sold those Lowell coffee mugs?!?

I hadn't noticed, either. Believe me, you're tamer than some of the other people I've encountered on the other boards. I think one person, I was instrumental in getting banned. This person deserved it, though. Posted nothing but hateful things. Here at the Wings board, though, I know I don't have to worry about that. In the time that I've been on this board, we've had a couple non-Wings fans come on and make comments about the show, but we put them in their place, and we usually never hear from them again.

This is very true. Jackie Gleason's influence was very evident in the episode where Roy pretends to be hypnotized and is dancing and singing showtunes. That skip in his dance and the belly move is soooo reminiscent of Gleason.

Also, in the episode where the guys are at the time-sharing golf weekend, and Roys walks out wearing that old-time golf outfit....very Gleasonesque.

David Schramm being overweight never held him back from doing anything. For a man of his weight (I'm trying not to use the "Fat" word), David really got around and did many slapstick moments.

They had a scene where Roy did a bit where he was Hardy from Laurel and Hardy. They should have done a scene where Roy was Ralph and Lowell was Norton. I don't know what the set-up would have been to put those two guys in those roles, but it still would have been funny. (Hey, Helen was Marcia Brady in one episode.)


Lowell sees that the wax figure of Stan Laurel has arrived alone.

Lowell: Where's Oliver Hardy? (Roy enters the room)
