Not that I know of, although some "Wings" characters appearing on "Frasier" could have been very funny! (Just imagine Niles Crane and Brian Hackett in the same room....Talk about "The Battle Of The Kid Brothers"!)

Frasier and Lilith's appearance on "Wings" was the BEST, bar NONE! The idea of pitting nervous Frasier Crane against feisty Helen Chappel was sheer GENIUS on the part of the writers, and Lilith sitting off to the side with her deadpan one-liners really added to the episode...in fact, those deadpan "side bar" comments made her sort of a female Antonio with a PHD!

Norm and Cliff didn't bring anything to the episode. They were just doing their "Cheers" bit on a different show, which isn't as funny if they're not sitting at the Boston bar.

Rebecca wasn't in the episode enough to be considered my favorite.

Frasier and Lilith was my favorite too. It's not one of my favorite episodes, but as far as Cheers on Wings goes, it was the best.

I agree about Lilith's(well, Bebe Newirth's)performance in this episode. I just love the way she innocently seems to "cut down" Frasier. I just wish I liked Cheers alot more, and see their performances on that show. I just can't seem to get into that show.

I'm not a big Cheers fan. I mean, I like the show and I bought the two seasons on DVD. All the actors did a great job but to me, Wings will always be the better show. And that's why I never really liked it when any of the Cheers gang would visit the airport.

To me, the difference between Cheers and Wings is that:

I like Cheers.

I LOVE Wings!

I'm with you, Adam. I love both shows, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with Wings in a heartbeat.

In fact, if I had to pick through Wings, Cheers, and Taxi, I'd do it in this order:

Wings (seasons 1 through 6)
Cheers (Rebecca years)
Taxi
Wings (seasons 7 & 8)
Cheers (Diane years)

Frasier!
My favorite part of the episode is when Lowell asks him about the train whistle and Lillith replies "You need a degree to have the whistle."

I'll do the same thing you did ... only my version of it.

Wings (seasons 1-6)
Taxi (seasons 1-5)
Wings (seasons 7-8)
Cheers (Seasons 1-11) {I know you're a fan of the Rebecca years, but I've always liked the first three seasons with Diane, mainly because I liked Coach more than Woody.}

The only thing "Taxi" lacked was a great romance. I mean Alex and Elaine would have been the couple, but they only dealt with them for like one episode and then never brought it up again. Of course if you don't go for romance, then Taxi would be the show for you (out of those three listed).
