1. Where are the writers now? 2. Funniest guests? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Wings had a great core of writers: Steven Levitan, Ian Gurvitz, Dave Hackel, et al. Surprised none won an Emmy, at least to my knowledge. Are they writing for any current TV shows?

Wings had a lot of great guests. My favorites:

Sandy Cooper
Carlton Blanchard
Carter at the video store
Ted's sister and Marisa's mom
So many more...

Wings did have some great writers....I know some worked on Frasier and other sitcoms....Steve Levitan went on to create "Just Shoot Me" but I don't know if he has anything new in the works.

Wings has many great guest appearances. Kelsey Grammer, George Plimpton, Robet Culp, they were all good to. There are many.

Dave Hackell is the creator and producer of Becker, which is another fine sitcom that never gets the attention and respect it deserves. I think a couple of other Wings writers work on Becker.

Kelsey Grammer.
He's another guy who belongs on my "Sexy Guys in Suits" list.
I like the suits he wears on "Frasier".
Okay, he's absolutely talented, too.
I love his voice

You keep going on and on about "Sexy Guys In Suits"....

What about "Sexy Guys In Maroon Sports Jackets"?

If you have such a category, I certainly hope that you have Roy Biggins on that list!

Hmmm, while I think he's a great actor and has a lovely voice (I love Sideshow Bob!), I don't think I would call him sexy.

Now, Luka from ER. That is one sexy guy!

I'm a weird chick, I've had a thing for Frasier Crane since I was about twelve.
I also have a thing for Sideshow Bob.
I REALLY think it's Kelsey's voice that gets me going.

I have an attraction to unusual men... that's just the way I am!
I also like Hal Sparks (VH1's I Love the 80s, I Love the 70s, Queer as Folk, ect).

wait, is Hal Sparks that guy on VH1's "I love the 70's" and "I love the 80's"- the one that's on there commenting on EVERYTHING? The cute guy with the dark hair? i think that's the one i'm thinking of. I'm pretty sure he's from "Queer As Folk", though I've never watched that show..
But if we're talking about the same guy, then yeah, there's something about that guy. and he's funny too.
He's cute in a dorky way. ...I have a thing for guys who are dorky-cute. Like, who else is a good example of my dorky-cute thing?... hmmm... oh! the guy who plays Ed on "Ed"!... and umm.. the guy who plays Dave (Lane's boyfriend) on "Gilmore Girls"....

yeah....

yeah....

Hal's the dude that was wearing the black shirt, Chinese fortune bead bracelets and thunderbolt necklace in "I Love the 70s" (To tell you the truth, I've recently adopted the style, but I wear a pentegram, not a metal stone with a thunderbolt...).
In "I Love the 80s" he was wearing a leather version of the Members Only jacket.
Although you might be talking about Michael Ian Black from "Ed"... I don't know.
I watch those things to the point it's driving my Mom crazy.
I hope they release both series to DVD.

still not sure if we're talking about the same guy! lol.
and no, I'm talking about the guy who plays Ed on "Ed" (don't remember the actor's name, but that's not it). He's kinda dorky-looking (at least I think so), but he's really cute. Something's telling me the actor's name is Tom Cavanaugh... I'm not sure tho.. oh, but with him, I think it was he blue eyes that got me at first. haha. I remember the first time I watched that show, I was like, "woa, that guy's goofy-looking." in a bad way ...and then I noticed his eyes, and I melted into a puddle of. goo. hahaha I'm such a dork.
