Has anyone seen NBC's new airport drama, LAX? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I've watched it a couple of times. I saw an episode a couple of weeks ago where they apparently lifted a plot from Wings. It involved some disgruntled air-traffic controller taking hostages in the control tower. I half-expected to see Lowell climbing up the tower!

No. I've dabbled with Charmed though.
I've read from a few places that LAX is Wings 2.0.
By the way, I have never seen an episode of Joey either.

I haven't seen Joey either and I have no intention to. I couldn't stand him on Friends and I don't feel like watching his new show. Actually, the only Friend I really liked was Chandler. He should have gotten his own show, IMHO.

As for LAX, I haven't heard it referred to a a Wings rip-off or anything. Who's saying it is? Both shows do have crazy air-traffic controllers though

alt.tv.wings, actually.
I don't post there, but I just stumbled on it one day while looking for Sideways on Google Groups.
