the only thing I can think of is that I love screen caps from episodes, so I'd just say it would be cool if there were a bunch from each episode.
But I know that takes a lot of time.
I can't think of anything else at the moment...

Hi Peter,

I've been trying to think of something but am totally stumped. Your website is so awesome and extensive with wonderful content.

I especially love your "episode of the week" section with the cool screen caps and your graphics in general are just awesome. I agree that more screen caps would be cool.

Great work on your site Peter....here are a few suggestions.

Let's face it, anytime you see a website for a TV show, and especially for a show that has been off the air for years, your true target audience is fan geeks, or in this case "Wings geeks" . I know one of the things that I enjoy seeing is articles and Links from a variety of souces about all of the actors.

I have scanned the internet many times looking for articles on Tim Daly or Crystal Bernard or Steven Weber and I've found some very enjoyable articles. For example, I came across some interesting chat transcripts that Crystal Bernard did around 1999. But I know there are many articles out there that some of the actors did during the shows run on NBC, as well as after Wings went off the air. If you could compile those or at least create links to them that would be fun.

I noticed you started putting together a sampling of what each actor has been up to lately, but it would also be fun to see a more indeth and complete listing of exactly what each actor has done since Wings went off the air.

I discoverd a link that posts TV listings for any actor for an entire month and that would be another cool thing to have. For example, you click on the name link of Tim Daly or Crystal Bernard and you would have the option of clicking on a particular link that would give you a listing of every TV show or movie that actor will be on that will be on the air for that particular month.

As for information on Wings itself, it would be fun to see more details on the creation of Wings. More about the writers and producers, and how they came up with the concept of Wings and how it was created. I realize that may be asking for the moon, because I have no idea if information like that is readily available. But it's kind of like when somebody writes a book on a TV show, you know how they go extensively into the actual creation of the show, how it came about, what other actors were considered for the roles, who turned the roles down, or who else auditioned that didn't get the part, but went on to do other things......that sort of stuff is very interesting IF you have any way to retrieve such information. Again, that may be asking for too much.

Finally, and again this is asking for A LOT, but if you had ways to get your hands on video or sound bites and scenes that could be viewed from your web page that would be cool. Many of the music group websites these days allow you to download music videos by the group, or an interview they did on MTV etc...It would be SO COOL to be able to download a music video Crystal Bernard did on one of her CDs, or watch an interview Steven Weber did on a TV show, or even just a short clip from Wings itself.

That may all be asking too much, but hey, they are just suggestions. No matter what, it's great that you have created a place for Wings fans to go. Thanks for the effort.

hi

thanks for all of your input, especially you, Losthighway

i am already starting on a few pages which includes interviews with the cast, I have just finished an article with Crystal Bernard and its called "without wings" - it should be up online within the week

as regards to video clips & sound clips, I tried to do this the other day, But as I am recording all the WINGS episodes on DVD SP, the quality and size of the episodes are huge, i think i need a capture card or something??

i added the theme song to the site a couple days ago

i'll see what i can come up with & keep looking at thesite!

thanks
