tonight's episode- "Sports & Leisure" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Krista2882 · 08-12-2003, 11:18 AM

if I remember correctly, this episode is hilarious. It's the one when everyone gets together to play Trivial Pursuit, and they don't want to invite Roy, but they do anyway, or something like that... and Lowell thinks that the answer to every question is Ann Margaret, except for when that's actually the answer, and it drives Roy nuts, right?
hahaha I remember seeing that one way back when i first started watching the show, and I thought it was really funny.
I almost forgot about it until I looked it up on the episode guida a few days ago.

maybe i am just mean then

Krista2882 · 08-13-2003, 08:11 AM

lol!

but anyway, I don't think I ever saw the first half of that episode! I didn't remember any of the beginning. I just remember the Trivial Pursuit part.
But yeah, that was a really funny episode.
I was laughing so hard at the part when Brian came in before their fishing trip, and was chasing Helen around making beleive he was sleep-walking. He reminded me of my brother! lol.

Hey, wasn't that one of the only times, or the only time, that Roy ever called Joe by his first name?

I absolutely LOVE this episode!!! To think, that this show can have such a funny episode so early in their run, when so many other shows are still trying to find their niche. Then again, this is Wings we're talking about. Even in the 1st season, this ensemble goes together so great, it's like they've been acting together for years. The funny part about this episode is not so much Lowell always answering Ann-Margret, but his excuses for his answers. Simon Weisenthal could've been one of those crazed fans or Ann-Margret being the largest silver supplier in the world because of all the jewelry she wears in her Vegas act. Too funny!!

yeah- I've noticed that too. with a lot of other TV shows, when you see the first couple of seasons after you've watched the whole series all the way through, you notice how at the beginning, the actors still seemed to be still getting comfortable with each other. With Wings, it always felt like all of the cast members had been working together for a long time, from the very beginning.

Great episode! I thought the scene with Brian chasing Helen was hilarious . The trivial pursuit was the best thing in the episode though.

pilotguy · 01-19-2004, 06:59 PM

I think that this episode is one of the true CLASSICS of the entire run! Plus, I like the idea of the gang getting together socially outside of the airport....It's a nice touch.

AngeFaitore · 01-19-2004, 08:07 PM

Lowell's classic Ann-Margret answer. What a trip!

This is a great episode! I was rolling at "Ann Margaret" for every answer, then when Faye said it for her answer too, that made it even funnier

Brian chasing Helen was great! Classic Brian
