Did I just say grr?

Well, they bypassed "Date Package #7" which has the great lines like "This place looks a lot different through my telescope" and Brian getting the ice bucket dumped in his lap.

Plus part II of "The Gift" they skipped last week. Gettin' me nervous because of some great season five eps coming up after Davis Lynch is intro'd. "Black Eye Affair", "Joe Blows" and Sandy Cooper's first episode. Not even that SCTV and TV Land Confidential is pre-empting Wings, it's like its being played over eps like they're being cancelled out.

Black Eye Affair has always been on the "skip" list.

Joe Blows, part 1 looks like it is going to be skipped. I dont see any Wings ep on the schedule for Wed 10/26 AM, but Thr. 10/27 AM shows part 2 listed.

Looking at the listings, it appears they are showing the episodes in order, but skipping every Wednesday's episode, and continuing with the order.

Let's have a look
65. The Gift Part 1 - aired Tue Oct. 11
66. The Gift Part 2 - skipped
67. I Love Brian- aired Thr. Oct 13

71. Another Wedding - aired Oct. 18
72. Date Package Number Seven- skipped
73. Stop In the Name of Love- aired Oct. 20

77. An Affair to forget - scheduled for Oct. 25
78. Black Eye Affair- always gets skipped
79. Joe Blows Part 1- not listed (figure this one is skipped for Oct. 26)
80. Joe Blows Part 2 - scheduled for Oct. 27

the pattern does not hold the next week though, as they have the Halloween episode schuled for late night that night. It will already be 2:30 AM here where I am.

84. Ready Teddy Go - scheduled for Oct. 31
154. The Gift Of Life- scheduled for Nov. 1
Wed Nov. 2- nothing scheduled
85. Oh Give Me a Home Where the Mathers dont Roam- scheduled for Nov. 3

Thanks for lookin ahead txplates. No Black Eye Affair?? Man, my Wings DVR collection is going to have some serious gaps in it. Their high energy eps like that---along with Joe Blows---are my fave type for the show.

Isn't Black Eye Affair the one where Antonio is showing everybody his new driver's license and he makes the comment that in his picture he looks like a terrorist? So this is why it is never aired. I'm kinda forgetting because it's been so long since I've seen this ep!!

I don't understand what the big deal with that is. In the Das Plane episode when the guys have to land in the cornfield, Antonio goes for help and comes back with a farmer who has a shotgun to Antonio's back and Antonio tells Joe, "Please tell this man I am not a terrorist". They just cut that part out. I guess it was too much to cut the driver's license part out to air Black Eye Affair.

.

this is correct. But is that the ONLY reason this episode never airs? If that is the only reason, why cant they do a quick voice over, and change what he says? Nick has never shown the episode, and TVLand also skipped the episode. CMT in Canada was airing episodes up until about a year ago, and they DID air this one. They also showed "A Terminal Christmas" which Nick and TVLand continue to skip.

Speaking of which, do Nick and TVLand continue to skip "A Terminal Christmas". I seem to remember they listed it once, maybe last Christmas, but I thought they ended up skipping it again. I cant remember for sure.

Just checked the November schedule, and everything is in order until the end of the month.

99. The Shrink is scheduled to air 11/25
100. The Spark And How To Get It- skipped
101. The Waxman Cometh - skipped
102. Is That a Ten Foot Sandwich... scheduled to air 11/29

I think editing out the terrorist references is just stupid. Wasn't there an episode of Roseanne where she's on a bus or something that's hijacked by terrorists? Does N@N show that one?

I also don't understand why they don't air A Terminal Christmas when they've aired all the other Christmas episodes. They've even aired them when it wasn't the holiday season.
