If "Wings" was included in a TV's Greatest Episodes Special... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

and you got to pick the episode, which episode or scene would you choose?

Chocoholic · 12-08-2004, 09:58 PM

There are too many great episodes and scenes to choose from, but if I had to narrow it down to just three episodes, I'd choose...

1. Murder, She Roast
2. Planes, Trains, and Visiting Cranes
3. Insanity Claus

"Planes, Trains, and Visiting Cranes" for sure.

Good question!! Off the top of my head, I'd have to say the meat-slapping scene from "The Ladies Who Lunch." ("One minute we were slapping each other with meat. Then it just got weird!" LOL)

For a more serious scene, I'd go with Joe's proposal in the elevator. That was on the other night, and it's got to be one of my fave scenes of the series. It's just sooo sweet, LOL.

1. "The Puppetmaster"

2. "Planes, Trains, and Visiting Cranes"

3. "Ladies Who Lunch"

Best Moments:

1. Lowell falling through the ceiling of Brian and Joe's childhood home.

2. Lowell getting high on shrooms and visualizing Fay with antlers.

3. Lowell hypnotized and telling of the time where he didn't wear underwear.

I think that "Sports and Leisure" is an all-time classic....having the entire gang (before Antonio, of course) sitting in the same room, interacting with each other playing a game. It shows each character at his or her most typical.

Adamantium · 12-09-2004, 05:20 PM

"This Old House", to me is a classic. I know it's not a typical "Wings" episode, but I think it's the best and I'd recommend it to anybody.

I love that scene. It makes me laugh and it makes me cry.

Doesn't get much better than that.

Not only that, but that "elevator proposal" scene really runs the gamut of viewer emotions....during Joe's proposal itself, the scene packs a whollop and is almost emotionally draining....then when Helen accepts Joe's proposal, there is sheer joy as the studio audience is wildly cheering and applauding....then the scene comes full circle as it ends things with a laugh: "You had a hot dog, didn't you?". A BEAUTIFULLY constructed and executed scene!

kellynch · 12-10-2004, 11:09 AM

Tonight at 5:30 Eastern on TVLand is the leadup to that scene -- Davis's proposal and Helen & Joe's, er, interlude.

On one hand, it's a shame that the two episodes can't be on back to back the way they were earlier this week, but being forced to wait a week for "Whose Wife is it Anyway" is just the way it was 10 years ago, when these episodes first aired.

Oh God. I love the elevator scene. I've seen it so many times. I think it goes like this.

"Damn it Helen, when you walked out this morning I felt the life drained out of me, I sat at that counter and thought of all the years we've spent together, we've known eachother since we were kids, we've already spent a lifetime together. How you can even think about marrying Lynch is wrong. Having kids, growing old together, that's our marriage, that's our kids....... But I guess sometimes love just isn't enough." Then we go through the "Ask me again Joe." Eeppp... I love that scene. Then I love any Joe and Helen scene I also love "She's Got to Have It." Hehe. Peter Tork. Who's he? Heh. I cracked up.

My favorite scene takes place in the episode where Antonio wears his expensive - but painful - new shoes. In the scene where he is talking with Fay, and he mentions the 'blue line running up the back of my leg', he is trying so hard not to crack up that he keeps having to hang his head down. Apparently he found it as funny as I do!

This makes me think of the episode where Antonio's brother gives him leather pants and over the credits, Antonio tries his darndest to squeeze into the pants.
What was that episode anyway?

"My lunch was in there..."
