Nick at Nite Wings - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did y'all see the "Wings marathon" on Nick at Nite last night? I know I did. I was surprised to know that "Wings" had opening credits, much less a theme song, because when I watched it on USA, there was no theme song or opening credits, just credits rolling at the beginning of each show while the first scene and the beginning of the second scene was playing.

I saw it too. It was great to see it again after not seeing it for over a year. The marathon made me realize how much I missed watching the show. I really wish they'd make shows like Wings and Cheers again. The sitcoms on today just don't do it for me.

Well, They showed Nick At Nite they showed "Wings" Last Night.

Nanny Fine · 04-01-2003, 11:21 PM

It has been a LONG time since I've seen this show and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching it! I dont think I apprecited it like I should have when it aired originally on NBC.

I'm LOL at the episode on now, Duet for Cello...

I do wish though that they were airing the episodes in some sort of order because they are all mixed up!

I taped many episodes off of USA, and I've noticed Nick at Nite's been showing scenes that USA cut out. I can't tell anything that Nick has cut, so maybe just for the marathon, they're being shown uncut.

I noticed that also. The beginning of the episode with Frasier and Lilith on the plane seems to have a couple of extra lines in it from when I saw it on USA. I never saw Wings when it was on NBC because I used to work nights but it would be great if N@N airs them uncut. Just would like to see them in order

Man, another night of non-stop laughter!

I love the Clint Black episode. Brian and Lowell were both so great in that episode, especially at the party.

Lowell moving in with the Hacketts. "You sank my boat!"

Antonio being held hostage by Bob. I always feel so bad for him in that episode. He looked so terrified and I just want to comfort him

Helen and Antonio's quickie divorce in Mexico. Too funny! "Help me with the bats, Joe."

Lowell's last episode always makes me cry

Why this show wasn't more popular and critically-acclaimed, I'll never know

Freakzilla · 04-03-2003, 02:18 PM

Wings was popular. The show lasted 8 seasons, so a lot of people were watching. It's just that Wings didn't get much respect from critics and became a target for jokes on other shows. Shows that weren't as good as Wings.

Adamantium · 04-03-2003, 08:12 PM

I noticed a cut in the episode where Lowell moves in with Joe and Brian. It was the opening scene. After Helen tells the guy off via telephone, and he comes in saying how he didn't want to miss their date. Well that's where N@N moves on to the next scene. However, from my USA tape, Helen tells the guy to hold on and then she whispers to the phone something about terrorists invading the airport and forcing her to say that. Then she hangs up and says "Boy have I got a story for you."

I guess I can understand why N@N cut that out, but I don't think it was too offensive, seeing as the episode was from 1993.

Chocoholic · 04-03-2003, 08:51 PM

I missed that part, but that's pretty stupid if they did cut it out. People are so P.C. sensitive sometimes that it just drives me nuts. I know some FOX affiliates have pulled the New York City episode of The Simpsons because it includes Homer visiting the World Trade Center. That's so dumb, IMHO.

VWAdam · 04-03-2003, 09:01 PM

I turned it on Nick at Nite around 8:55 Monday nite and I was getting myself something to eat when I heard the Wings theme song. It brought the biggest smile to my face to hear that again. It is my all time favorite show, ever. I was too young when it came on NBC(I'm 17 now) but I got hooked during the summer when I was 14 watching it on USA every morning. I went and bought a pack of blank tapes and I have recorded Tuesday and Wednesday and I am recording tonight too. My friends at school are getting tired of me talking about the night before's episdoes at school.

Chocoholic · 04-03-2003, 09:14 PM

You've come to the right place, my friend

Wings rocks!

lakbk · 04-04-2003, 02:02 PM
