This Wednesday night's episodes (7/16) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well, I watched the first 2 episodes so far from Wednesday night. I liked them both..

I really liked the first one the one where Lynch came back, and come to find out Helen never actually broke off the engagement with him... I thought that one was really funny. I liked when Joe came back, and everyone was trying to keep him away from his office because Helen was in there talking to Davis. hehe. Hmm.. I can't specifically remember any other funny parts. I just remember laughing a lot, and that it was a good episode. I'll have to watch that one again...

and then the next one... where Antonio gets hired by that guy that everyone thinks is in the mob... and Helen's old high school teacher tries to sell her cleaning products... haha. and everyone is really bored because of the off-season...
Joe: "Brian, what's wrong with me? why won't my boobies dance?!"

that was a good one too..

what did you guys think?

OK, I got caught up on the most recent block of episodes so I'll share some of my insightful comments.

I did like "The Lynch Party", but since I already commented on that in the other thread I'll move on to a few others......I also liked "The Lady Vanishes"...I thought this was a good episode for Antonio, and I especially liked seeing the more direct Antonio. Even though it was slapstick, over the top humor, I liked when Antonio went back to Joe's office and rearranged the furniture and pummeled Joe a bit.

I also liked when he had the entire crew working on the project and he kind of turned into a character from Hillstreet Blues "be careful out there".

I liked "The Lyin King" when Joe and Brian fly to Boston to see an old High school friend at the strip club. Joe and Brian always make me laugh when they get each other excited..."all nude...all the time". lol And the stuff between Joe and Lou cracked me up as well.

In "Love Overboard" the episode was nothing special, but it was good to see Amy Yasback get a major story line and John Ritter is always good. I don't know if Amy and John were married at the time this was shot, but I thought they had good chemistry together as actors. And Antonio and Roy dancing together was classic!

And Grouses, Houses and Bickering spouses was pretty good. I still don't like yet another house burning down, but maybe the writers just wanted to have a reason to keep Brian, Casey, Helen and Joe all living under the same roof for a while longer. One of my favorite parts of this episode was when Helen tells the naive couple trying to buy their property, "we're the devil, we're the devil, run, run!"

I liked "The Lady Vanishes", "The Lyin' King", and "Love Overboard". Yeah, John Ritter and Amy Yasbeck were together then. Before the Wings episode, they had worked together on the 2 Problem Child movies. They also appeared on N@N's favorite show as a couple awaiting the birth of their first child.

Ah, Phil Leeds a.k.a. Lou from The Lyin'King episode. He died recently, I think last year, and he was one of those character actors that you see all the time, but you just don't know his name. I saw him on an episode of Friends "The One With The Lesbian Wedding" and he was on Ally McBeal when he died, as one of the judges. In fact, they wrote his death into the show, meaning his character died, too, during court.

I finished my episodes today. I was talking about Antonio on another board and liked The Lady Vanishes. When he went back and messed up Joe & his office, when he told Joe that if he couldn't find that woman, that Joe was giving him Helen. Oh, and Roy disgusting everybody with his 'personal ads'.

In the one with John Ritter, I'll have to say Roy & Antonio dancing together stole the show. Even when N@N split-screened the end part, I tuned out the N@N guy and focused on Wings. I always thought Roy & Antonio worked well together. Remember the episode where Roy took Antonio to lunch at Roy's lodge and they got a 'little' tipsy? I've been saying this before but it has been mentioned that the last 2 seasons weren't as good. In a way I have to agree, but I still find myself enjoying them.

Antonio:"He's not a bad dancer, if I may say so. Of course, he's no Roy."

I haven't seen them all yet, but I'll comment on the others that I have seen:

"A Tale Of Two Sister Cities" was funny. Not one of the best episodes, but it had it's moments. Joe trying to be all macho, carrying the water bottles- hahaha!

"What About Larry?"- I didn't really think this one was all that funny. But it didn't suck. lol. It had a couple of funny parts. But overall, I didn't think it was all that interesting...

"The Lady Vanishes"- This one was pretty funny. It was funny how Antonio trashed Joe's office after he came back out and the woman he was talking to was gone. hehe.
and I liked the Helen/Brian interaction in this one. the two of them haven't really hung out together in a while. That was funny how Brian was trying to teach Helen his ability to read women. lol! I thought this was funny-
Brian: "What scares her the most?"
Helen: "A burglar!"
Brian: "Think smaller."
Helen: "a TINY burglar!"

the way she said that was soo funny
and the part when that blonde woman came in and told Antonio where the woman was who he was looking for, and she was talking like they used to talk in those old detective movies or whatever, and Joe started talking like that too, and then he was like, "why am I talking like this?" and then he kept talking like that. hehe that was funny.

"The Lyin' King"- This one wasn't bad. It had its funny moments... I liked how Joe felt all guilty abut lying to Helen about where he went, so he told her at the end of the episode where he went, and she kinda freaked out. hehe.
And it was really funny when Brian showed Joe the thing that said what kind of show it was, and they were both getting all excited and kept saying, "all nude all the time". lol
hmm.. I don't really remember much else interesting from that one...

Krista, you gotta love Lou.

Krista2882 · 07-21-2003, 12:33 PM

hehe oh yeah- Lou was pretty funny. I liked how he was telling Brian that he needed a haircut and stuff- "you look like a girl!" lol! and then Brian said something to him and Lou goes "I hate you." or something like that. lol very funny.

Krista2882 · 07-22-2003, 08:33 AM

I watched the "Love Overboard" episode last night. That one was really funny.
I was laughing sooo hard at Antonio showing Roy what he learned from teaching himself the Foxtrot.

and then Antonio and Roy dancing together- hahaha! that was so hilarious! I was cracking up!

and then when Casey, Stuart, and Brian were on the boat, and Casey was trying to get Stuart to tell her the truth by threatening to throw money out the window, and every time he said something, she was like, "EEERRR! wrong answer!" lol she was just really funny in that scene. and then Brian comes walking in wearing a really expensive robe, and eating an omlette. hehe

hhmm... that's all i can remember right now...

yeah, I remembered them being in those movies together. me and my brother used to watch those movies all the time when we were younger. lol!
You know what? Gilbert Gottfried (or however you spell his name), who played Carlton's nephew on Wings, was also in the "Problem Child" movies....
