What are 5 to 10 episodes that truly define the series or must include moments? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We are in the process of producing the 75th anniversary of NBC. Could you or your fans recomend between 5 to 10 top episodes of 'Wings' that truly define the series or suggest a few "must include" moments. I would also like to know where I could get copies of these shows to screen.

Thank you for your help.

Only 5-10 episodes? Man, that's hard! I can think of a lot more great episodes of Wings than that. It was definately one of the greatest and most under-rated shows of the 1990's. Here goes:

1. The episode when Roy passed out while singing the National Anthem at a Red Sox game.

2. Any episode featuring either Carlton Blanchard or Sandy Cooper.

3. The episode when Antonio witnessed a robbery and then became terrified when the suspect got out on a technicality.

4. The episode when Joe was hospitaized and Brian had to take over the airline and all these disasters started happening.

5. The Christmas episode when Antonio was taken hostage by an air-traffic controller.

6. The one when Helen tries to get ready for an important date, but all these disasters keep happening.

7. The episode where Antonio gets in trouble with the Bruins' star goalie.

8. The first episode.

9. The one where Brian trys to impress Alex by telling her that he can get tickets for a sold-out concert.

10. The episode when they talk about jobs that they had off-season.

Some of my favorites are:

Crazy Sandy comes back to town and wants Joe or Joey Bear and no one believes Joe, that she is after him.

Joe & Helen's Wedding with Joe's hand stuck in the toilet.

Roy convinces everyone that he was hipnotized and devulges a secret that he stole money and buried it in his backyard. But really he just wants a hole dug for his new jacuzi.

one episode I really enjoyed was Helen and Joe's christmas party and Brians date from the bank had the terrible case of halotosis. I only wish it had Lowell on it instead of Bud. He should have been on the air force plane that he downed.

One of my favorites because of Tim Daly's performance: the episode in which Joe and Brian's mother returns after serving time in the State Pen. The second would be the episode where Joe and Helen break up, aka the fire extinguisher fight.

I know I did this a loooooooooong time ago, but I'll do it again.

10 episodes that truly define the series, in no particular order:

1. The Bogey Men
2. Ladies Who lunch
3. Murder, She Roast
4. Insanity Claus
5. Airport '90
6. Planes, Trains, and Visiting Cranes
7. Blackout Buggins
8. I Love Brian
9. Sports & Leisure
10. Nuptials Off!

And so many others! (Can't believe I put Sandy Cooper in my last list! I can't stand her!

)

My top 10 (although it's extremely hard to stop at 10)

1. Ladies who Lunch: Helen and Joe fight/kiss
2. Whose Wife is it Anyway?: Joe proposes in elevator
3. Hey 19: Joe dates a 19 year old.
4. It's so nice to have a Mather around: Lowell moves in with Joe and Brian.
5. The Naked Truth: Helen returns from NY.
6. Is that a Subpoena in your pocket?: Joe takes Helen to court.
7. The Taming of the Shrew: Helen goes for group therapy.
8. My Brother's Keeper: Mimsy arrives.
9. All For one and two for Helen: Joe spys on Helen and Brian after they go to Boston together.
10. The Fortune Cookie: Joe and Brian get caught trying to run an insurance scam after the plane crash.

Just looking at a list of all the shows again I realize there are at least 10 or 12 other shows I could list that would make a top 10 count. The show was that good.
