ohhhh crap, I think its a channel from Australia .. but that leads me to another idea, how about trying to get Comedy Central to air Wings?

Yes, that site IS for the Australian version of the Comedy Channel. However, here in the U.S. perhaps "Wings" would be better served on the American Comedy Channel instead of NICK.

While "Wings" is well-written, well-acted and just plain FUNNY, it also has sort of a quirky "cult" status which just might make it good programming for the Comedy Channel.

I think Wings and some other shows would make a great addition to Comedy Central. They could use some decent stuff. I think about 95% of the stuff that airs on Comedy Central right now is sophomoric trash that just isn't funny. (I must confess though, I'm a huge South Park addict. So sue me

)

Pilotguy, do you mean by the "American Comedy Channel", Comedy Central?
The first thing I thought when I saw the first post was damn, I don't get that channel, ie Comedy Channel. I like a few things on Comedy Central, but don't care if I miss them. We need wicked humour right now, the state America is in. I wish it could be found in more areas of television. Oh yeah, that's why I'm always channel surfing, lol. THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ON.

While it would be nice for Wings to be on for as long as possible, maybe it will be okay so long as all of us can get them taped, then if they yank it, it won't matter as much. I also have been wondering how much editing goes on since these are in syndication now...like in the ep "Das Plane" with the terrorist line.
Oh well, hope you all enjoy tonight's show, that's the main thing.

Yes, "Comedy Central" is what I meant....

Please forgive me....I get some of these cable network names confused. I'm 47 years old, and I'm just getting used to the idea that there are other TV channels and networks besides NBC, CBS and ABC!
