Observations about Wings. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We've never seen the inside of Roy's office.

The interior of the control tower is only seen in two episodes.

Antonio apparently never dumped a woman. They all dumped him first.

Roy never invited any of his employees to hang out with the gang.

Everyone mentioned their age or birthday at some point, except for Antonio.

There doesn't appear to be any security at the airport at all.

Joe is sometimes more concerned about an object than the fact that a friend of his was in danger.

What other observations have you guys noticed?

I've noticed that they always seem to say "For Pete's Sake" a lot, mostly Helen.

Antonio's accent became toned down a lot. At first it was really thick and sounded really fake.

Alex is the only main character who was never married at one point.

Christmastime is usually a disastorous time for the gang.

Joe, Brian, Helen, and Roy appear in every single episode.

Joe's mom and Helen's parents don't show for their wedding.

Helen apparently never cleaned under her cash register. If she had, she would have discovered that she and Antonio were still married a lot sooner.

In season 5's Christmas episode, Antonio asks Brian to spend Christmas Eve with him, but Brian can't because he has a date. The next Christmas Eve, Brian is alone and Antonio can't hang out with him because he actually has a date for once.

I always assumed Helen's parents were at the wedding, and maybe we just didn't see them in the bathroom. LOL. But then again, you'd figure the parents of the bride would want to SEE the vows take place, no matter where it ended up being. Guess it's just another one of those quirks of TV, lol.

I started noticing this in the season two or three (can't remember which) DVDs... I swear either Brian or Joe is wearing a bright red shirt in every episode. We've gotten to saying it out loud, "Yep, there it is, there's the red shirt again!" around here. It's pretty weird, because it's not a color people wear that often, especially men, and definitely not back then. I could see Brian pulling it off, but Joe wears it, too. Every episode, it's uncanny!

Antiono is the ONLY cabbie for the whole airport

Was it supposed to be Helen playing the title song on her Chello?
