Nick@Nite April 2003, "Wings" joins the regular line-up, specials, etc. - Page 4 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

WHAT??? Oh man, that sucks so bad! Wings only has been on for a week or two. They should give it more time. I can't believe they're replacing it with that awful Three's Company

(Sorry, but i can't stand that show.) N@N blows major goats!

Wings has not been doing well at all I hear. The marathon ratings were no where near what Nick@Nite gets for their week long marathons and the drop-off from Cosby Show to Wings at 11 p.m. was severe.

Chocoholic · 04-11-2003, 11:12 AM

That really stinks

Any chance it might come out on DVD or VHS soon?

TVJunkie101 · 04-11-2003, 11:33 AM

Cool. I do like Wings (not a huge favorite) I'm actually pretty surprised. FOUR airings of Three's Company a night. Never thought I'd see that again (believe me, I'm not complaining)

Thanks Pav.

Wow! I'm happy KIDS SAY has been moved to the early morning. I'm really happy TC is back on in an earlier time slot, though it must suck for Wings fans.

Chocoholic · 04-11-2003, 01:59 PM

I still don't understand why we need four episodes of any show a night. Wings is far superior to Three's Company, IMHO. Oh well, i'll just have an extra hour for homework or chatting on-line.

treky · 04-11-2003, 01:59 PM

Great! They're putting "Cheers" back to 10 & 10:30! I've become a big fan of that again, since they started showing it.

cowgirl55 · 04-11-2003, 02:11 PM

YAYYYY!! THREE'S COMPANY ON AT 11 ADN 11 30!! WHOO HOOO!! i am sooo happy about that! now i can tape them!!

yeah sorry to wings fans, but TC is much better, if you want proof just check out the ratings!! if wings had done well, theyd still be on the 11 and 11:30 slot!!

GO TC!!!

treky · 04-11-2003, 02:24 PM

now, if only they'd bring back "All in The Family" & TV LAND would bring back "Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C." and "The Beverly Hillbilies". Oh well. It's not a perfect world (sigh!)....

Usually I don't just take my opinion and treat it like it's official. But I'm gonna make an exception. "Wings" is far better than "Three's Company". Ratings suck, because people are too stupid to watch "Wings".

And Nick at Nite is a poor excuse for a channel, and one that I won't watch anymore. (except for my one episode of Wings a night, and that's only so I can tape every episode)

I'm not the type of person to act like my opinion is the right one either, but I also have to agree with you on this one. I'll take Wings over Three's Company any day. I don't think people are stupid for not watching Wings, unless they never bothered to give it a chance in the first place.

Yeah, the way I said it, sort of reminds me of the way Joe Garrelli of "NewsRadio" would have said it. But I just get so mad. I'm a big TV fan and especially of "Wings" and it gets me really mad when it gets trashed.

I like Wings, and honestly I'm not at all surprised, or upset. Three's Company is a good show; true, not for everyone. I have mixed feelings about it being on 4 times a night, that's what turned me off of Cosby Show and Cheers. But, it must do good in the ratings, so... Ratings mean everything now a days. Why do you think Cosby Show stays at 9pm and Midnight? Poor Family Ties didn't have a chance either. It's Nick @ Nite material, yet poor ratings caused it to go down to where it is now.

I guess we can all just be happy Wings, Coach (not huge faves of mine, but I like them), etc. are on all at. That's how you have to look at it. I'm very disatisified with N@N and have been for a long time now. I just try not to get too upset, lol.

I wondered why they moved it to 5 am. I was never a big fan of that show, but I'd rather them show that at midnight instead of a second block of The Cosby Show.

And just for the record, I like Three's Company, just not as much as Wings. And I am so mad right now, that N@N would do that. They've turned into one of the networks, where shows get canceled after only three episodes. Oh well, I give up on Nick at Nite. I didn't like their Modern Classics idea. I mean that's what TBS was. They showed Coach and Saved by the Bell and The Cosby Show. Why did Nick at Nite have to change? But when Wings came I got back into N@N. I even watched The Cosby Show and Cheers, which I'm not a big fan of. And now this. If only Wings fans had Neilson rating boxes, it might have stood a chance. Just like radio stations. Oldies is my favorite music, and the three Oldies stations have recently changed to 80's, country and current music.

That quote sounds like something from Married With Children. I can see why N@N went to the 80s, basically because of TV Land. If N@N aired classics from 9pm-6am, it would compete with TV Land. So, N@N went to the 80s. I always expected them too, just a lot weren't the 80s shows I had in mind.

I like the contrast idea, but N@N needs a better variety of shows. I really wish they'd give Gimme a Break, Alf, Silver Spoons, One Day at a Time, Benson, Mr. Belvedere, etc. a chance. Those are all (well, not Alf) border line classic/80s. I just always expected those before Cosby, Cheers, Coach, etc. I like all of the shows N@N airs now, it's just too fast, and too much.

You all know what they say about too much of a good thing...
