The acting in this movie is really good.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Wings is essentially an homage to and a US adaptation of the timeless, classic British sitcoms which are centered on one location and populated by a bevy of memorable, sarcastic characters. Are You Being Served instantly comes to mind. By today's standards the look and feel may be a little static and claustrophobic. But everything else sparkles - the writing, acting, delivery, dialog. Not a hint of fishing for laughs here. What I also found refreshing was Tim Daly's portrayal of Joe: That extinct breed of a beautiful yet shy, thoughtful and vulnerable man. Joe alone is enough to give this show a try.

I love Wings ... it was a real sweet piece of sitcom work ... Tony Shaloub was a stitch and the writing was top shelf ... the show managed to get it done without touching a lot of sensitive issues which can be a crutch for many modern sitcoms ... I liked the interplay between the brothers with their very different personalities ... Kaye, the employee, who ran the company ... Lowell, the good-natured knucklehead whose lone talent was the ability to fix airplanes and be a loving friend and family man ... Roy, the ruthless competitor and Helen, the ever self-effacing one who stepped up to the plate when the chips were down time after time ... I also like the adjustments over the years, Helen and Joe go from pals to lovers and marry ... Shaloub was so good as the maitre d' that he had to change careers so it was much easier to write him into the scripts ... he was my favorite character with his passionate Italian solilioquies

Wings has always been a great show with a wonderful cast of colorful actors like the Hackett brothers, the Chappel sisters, Lowell, Antonio, Fay, & Roy but I am probably leaving somebody out. Unlike most sitcoms, the show is set in Nantucket, far from the Los Angeles or New York City which is another reason to watch alone. Set in a small airport, Fay and Roy are always a pleasure to watch. Lowell is a unique character. The fact that the Hacketts, Lowell, and the Chappel sisters have a history in Nantucket is also useful for creating great plots around their history. I have plenty of favorite episodes like the psycho Valerie Mahaffey's character in recreating their senior prom, honeymoon, wedding etc. I also liked Farrah Forke's character but she left one season. These actors appear to have a good time on screen and off-screen which makes it another reason to watch. I just watched the Christmas episode where Antonio's girlfriend is the wife of his kidnapper, the new air traffic controller, who takes him hostage when he takes his donut. Sure the absurdity sometimes is half the fun of this show.

I am a 17 year old, and used to despise Wings, this was because I never saw an episode, and after the death of John Ritter a year ago, I heard his wife Amy was on it, so I decided to give it a try. I also noticed Tony Shalhoub from Monk was in it, which is one of my favorite shows, so like I said I watched an episode. and loved it. I continued to watch the show and grew to it. I am probably the biggest Joe and Helen shipper you will ever meet. This sitcom was and still is veryunderrated. Wings has a different type of humor, there's is more of a humbletype, and it was a very funny show, and you could tell the cast got along very well, just because of the atmosphere you feel when you watch the show. SO ifanyone from Paramount us reading, this is a show that long awaits it's DVDrelease. and has waited long enough, too long.
