So what network will WINGS go to next? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

peter may · 02-03-2005, 07:39 PM

..do you think, after TVLand is done with it?

spunkygirl · 02-03-2005, 09:27 PM

I would love for it to go to ABC Family.

I hope TVLAND hangs on to it for awhile, even if it's just for the marathons on Fridays.

ABC Family, maybe WE or Oxygen

Wings#1ShowPeriod · 02-03-2005, 10:14 PM

I just hope it goes to another network because it is defiently to me the best sitcom ever or should be considered as top 5, top 10 best sitcom ever... Shows like Roseanne, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Cosby Show are on more than 2 networks and Full House is on 2 networks... Murphy Brown and Who's the Boss is good because its only on Nick at Night..
Wings does to be on 2 networks or more. because its as good as sitcoms who are on more than 2 networks

Wings#1ShowPeriod · 02-03-2005, 10:15 PM

I mean *** does deserve to be on 2 networks

You're welcome

The Sci Fi Channel... USA Network or TBS. TBS seems like a good place to put it because of their "Very Funny" motto.
Sci Fi shows everything BUT Science Fiction these days.

Why are you guys trying to put Wings into an early grave...The show is still on TV Land Through AT LEAST April....

Pavan · 02-04-2005, 10:49 AM

And that TV Land still has rights for a few more years ... doesn't mean they'll still air it throughout, but you won't be seeing it on another network anytime soon most likely.

We're not

I'm happy TVLAND is airing, but come on one day a week? After having the show on 7 days a week on N@N, it's no wonder Wings fans are upset

If N@N had rearranged their schedule and dropped the extra set of double takes for Roseanne, Full House and Fresh Prince, they'd have more than enough room for ALL the shows.

Like Pav said TVLAND has the rights for a few more years, but it doesn't mean they'll air it throughout, and with no signs of a DVD release soon it's no wonder we're upset

spunkygirl · 02-04-2005, 12:47 PM

I suppose it would be too much to expect that TVLAND might actually give us a 15th Anniversary Marathon for Wings in April

Chelsea · 02-04-2005, 02:58 PM

I'm not happy about it only being on one night per week...especially considering I don't get home until around 6 PM ET on Fridays....OF course, if it aired M-Th, I wouldn't get to watch it at all.

TV Land is at least airing it Three Hours per week, and they think enough of the show to keep it on despite having changed out two of the blocks of shows that you'd THINK would be doing better. That's a good sign.

IF Wings continues to perform well, it's MORE than likely a possibility that TV Land will give it a regular schedule slot.

AngeFaitore · 02-04-2005, 05:02 PM

I still think that it would be cool to have a Wings homecoming on it's old syndie home, USA Network. Plus, the USA Network is owned by NBC/Universal, so NBC might consider a Wings reunion after THC either wins or loses at the Academy Awards. I think that if THC wins the award, Wings will suddenly be a hot show and we might be seeing "Vintage" Lowell Mather T-shirts and other Wings stuff at Spencer Gifts...

Hopefully it will arrive on DVD soon and what network it airs on will be no worry to fans of the series.

Maybe Paramount is waiting to bring Wings after Taxi is completed. So Wings would get released along with Cheers and Frasier.

Cheers (8)
Frasier (8)
Wings (1 & 2) I'd hope they'd release them together.

Cheers (9)
Frasier (9)
Wings (3)

Cheers (10)
Frasier (10)
Wings (4)

Cheers (11)
Wings (5)

And to Ange, I too, wish it would return to USA. It just seems like it's home. Obviously it never fit in on N@N. On an episode of SNL, Jerry Seinfeld, joked about watching Wings all day on USA. USA made Wings a joke, by playing it all day. But at least they liked it enough to play it all day.

Sort of Off Topic.
In an episode of King of Queens, Doug was turning the channels. He had something like 900 channels. He was turning "Wings, Wings, Wings". He kept turning and the audience laughed. There was more to the joke than that, but I forget. Anyways when I first saw that, I thought to myself, how great would that be? Wings on three or four different channels.

He was probably jealous because his show wasn't airing that many times a day, if it were any other show but Wings, he'd have been kissing up to it

I hope they're not waiting till Cheers and Frasier are finished. That might be in 2006 till those are completely finished(as many seasons as both have). Why should we have to wait for those
