Wings-Five Season Pack
 
One of Television's Funniest Comedies is Ready for Take-Off!
 
 
Features: DVD
 
Comedy takes off when pilots -- and estranged brothers -- Joe (Timothy Daly) and Brian Hackett (Steven Weber) reunite to run a commuter airline together. On the small island of Nantucket, the Hacketts run with a first-class crew of neighbors and co-workers, including lunch counter manager and childhood friend Helen Chappel (Crystal Bernard). Their rival Roy Biggins (David Schramm) keeps them on their guard, while sharp-tongued ex-stewardess Fay (Rebecca Schull) keeps them on their toes. Big-hearted Italian cab driver Antonio (Tony Shalhoub) and eccentric mechanic Lowell (Thomas Haden Church) always keep life around the terminal interesting. From friendship and family to romance and rivalry, when it comes to laughs in this hangar, the sky's the limit.

This 16 disc collection includes all 96 episodes from the first five seasons of Wings!
 
"...just like Cheers, the strength of Wings is built upon great writing and eccentric, well-developed characters."  Britt Gillette, The DVD Report
"Better than airplane peanuts!"  David Johnson, DVD Verdict
"Daly and Weber maintain an affable chemistry together, but it's the supporting cast that keeps the show swimming along."  Scott Weinberg, DVD Talk
"...a spin-off of "Cheers" that followed the long-running NBC comedy and eventually became a solid success in its own right."  Andy Dursin, The Aisle Seat
"...was able to grow and keep the laughs coming year after year."  Home Theater Info

 


Editor's Note

The sometimes touching and always funny 1990s sitcom WINGS starred Timothy Daly and Steven Weber as Joe and Brian Hackett, two brothers trying to run a small airline on Nantucket while dealing with a lovable, eccentric group of employees and friends that included lunch-counter waitress Helen Chapel (Crystal Bernard), immigrant cab driver Antonio Scarpacio (Tony Shaloub), and oddball mechanic Lowell Mather (Thomas Hayden Church). Created by the team behind CHEERS and FRASIER, WINGS shared those shows' taste for zany situational comedy that was also intelligent, emotional, and decidedly mature. This collection presents the beloved series' first through fifth seasons.
