What episodes do you notice a lot of people love, but you're not too crazy about?

One that I can think of right now is Das Plane. I know a lot of you guys love this episode, but I just don't find it as funny as I do the other two Carlton Blanchard episodes. Probably because the only main characters who are really in it are Joe, Brian, Lowell, and Antonio.

i actually think the most over rated episode is where helen and joe get married... to me this should have been done better, the two actually getting married in a church rather than a bathroom with joes hand stuck down a toilet

For me, it's the Frasier episode. I know everyone here loves it, and that's fine, but I never find myself wanting to watch that episode. Another one I dislike, but everyone else here seems to like is "Hell Hath No Fury Like a Policewoman Scorned".

I don't like that one either.

but I think one of the most overrated is "Murder She Roast". I mean, yeah, it is funny, but it's not one of my favorites, and it surprises me how much all Wings fans seem to always list that episode as a "must-see"

I think "Hell Hath No Fury Like a Policewoman Scorned" is an overated episode too. It's a good episode, but it's not great.

As funny and clever as I thought the idea was, I still would have liked to see them get married in a church, not a bathroom.

lol I liked the way that episode was done, in typical wacky Wings humor.

Yes, I agree...Considering the fact that Joe proposed to Helen in a stopped elevator while she was on her way to meet another man who was her then-fiance...and she ACCEPTED....I would say that getting married in a bathroom with the groom's had stuck down a toilet wasn't all that unusual for the couple!

The episode where Joe gets the vaccuum cleaner... people seem to hate it, but it always gets talked about.

That episode has happy memories connected with it for me. One Summer, my older sister and I used to stay up and watch "Wings" followed by "Quantum Leap" on USA every weeknight back when "Wings" was still in it's run(I think Summer of 94 or 95). That episode has always stood out in my mind.

I hear Quantum Leap is coming to DVD. Now if Wings will come out, I can re-create the old lineup.

Also, my memory of the show was all screwed up. In my mind, season three was the first season. I always thought Lowell had long hair in the beginning, plus I thought that Antonio was always in the show. I didn't even remember Alex Lambert while watching Season Six in it's original run. (I watched Season Six in it's original run, because "NewsRadio" followed it on NBC... Good Times, Good Times

) So I was shocked when I got back into the show in Summer 2000 to learn that Lowell had short hair in the first two seasons, and that Antonio was absent from those seasons.
