Wings - The Complete First and Second Seasons
Amazon.com
A popular and well-regarded comedy that ran for eight seasons in the '90s, Wings was created by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee, the team that worked together on Cheers and later created Frasier. Tim Daly and Steven Weber play two brothers, Joe and Brian Hackett, respectively, who parted ways many years ago when a woman left Joe to marry Brian. Joe, the straitlaced do-everything-right brother, is running Sandpiper Air, a small airline on the island of Nantucket that runs commuter flights to the New England coast, when he reluctantly offers a job to Brian, the carefree brother who's also a pilot. Others who work at the airport are Helen (Crystal Bernard), the former girl-next-door who now works the lunch counter and aspires to be a professional cello player; Lowell (Thomas Haden Church), the not-all-there mechanic; Roy (David Schramm), the owner of the rival airline AeroMass; and Fay, who handles Sandpiper's front desk. Over the short (six episodes) first season, Joe and Brian develop romantic triangles over both Helen and Brian's ex-wife, Carol (Kim Johston Ulrich), and Brian tries to set up Joe with the island tramp (Megan Mullaly). In the second season, the romantic entanglements continue, Joe develops a health problem that keeps him from flying, and we meet the last major member of the cast, Italian cab driver Antonio Scarpacci (Tony Shalhoub). Guest stars include Cheers' George Wendt and John Ratzenberger, Abraham Benrubi (ER) as Roy's son, and David Ogden Stiers as a conductor whom Helen tries to impress. While much of the regular cast faded from view after Wings, Shalhoub and Church garnered critical acclaim for their work on Monk and Sideways, respectively. --David Horiuchi

Truly a classic sitcom, one that I personally love and never tire of, so I cannot wait to finally get my hands on this wonderful DVD collection after waiting all these years. Here is a brief rundown of all episodes from the first two excellent seasons:
Season 1
1. 'Legacy'- Joe and Brian Hackett reunite after a 6-year separation due to Brian stealing Joe's fiance' and end up making amends, which was their late father's dying wish.
2. 'Around the World In 80 Days'- Fay helps a pilot who's attempting a world-record flight around the globe. Helen auditons for the Cambridge Orchestra as a cellist.
3. 'Return To Nantucket: Part 1'- Brian travels to reunite with his ex-wife Carol, while Joe and Helen try to stop Brian from making a big mistake.
4. 'Return To Nantucket: Part 2'- Drama ensues as Brian wants to bring Carol back with him to Nantucket, despite Joe and Helen urging him not to.
5. 'There Once Was A Girl From Nantucket'- Brian sets Joe up on a blind date with a girl who has a bad reputation.
6. 'All For One and Two For Helen'- Brian, Joe and Helen want to go to Boston to see a Boston Celtics basketball game, but Joe's forced to cancel due to Fay and Roy arguing over the building of a new hangar.
Season 2
7. 'The Puppet Master'- Brian plays a prank on Helen by hiring a guy to pretend to be a pilot for the purpose of Helen falling in love with the pilot, which will break her rule of never dating pilots. Trouble ensues as Joe gets jealous.
8. 'The Story of Joe'- A writer from American Flyer Magazine stops by the Nantucket airport to do a story, which Joe is very enthused about, but his enthusiasm is quickly crushed when the writer is more interested in Brian's wild adventures than in Joe's airport.
9. 'A Little Nightmare Music'- The conductor of the Minneapolis Philharmonic Orchestra comes to Nantucket and Joe and Brian convince Helen to audition for the cello position.
10. 'Sports & Leisure'- Roy is invited to join the rest of the gang to a Trivial Pursuit party. Being teamed up with Lowell for the game, Roy gets frustrated by Lowell's participation.
11. 'A Standup Kind of Guy'- An old high school class mate of Joe asks him to be the best man at his wedding, but there is a problem, Joe does not remember who this class mate is!

13. 'Hell Hath No Fury Like A Police Woman Scorned'- Joe gets arrested for Brian's unpaid parking tickets, so Brian tries to bail Joe out by wooing the police woman. Unfortunately for Brian, the police woman falls hard for him, and so he struggles with trying to break it off.
14. 'High Anxiety'- A doctor grounds Joe from flying due to his high blood pressure, and out of frustration he takes it out on his brother, which leads to Brian wanting to leave and join up with TWA airlines instead.
15. 'Friends or Lovers?'- Joe and Helen go out on a date while Brian spies on them with a faulty radio.
16. 'There's Always Room For Cello'- Roy has his boy RJ sign up with Helen for cello lessons.

19. 'Love Is Like Pulling Teeth'- A dilemma forces Joe to choose between helping Helen out after her visit to the dentist or going to the big basketball game between Providence and Boston College.
20. 'The Tennis Bum'- Joe and Roy accidentally destroy Lowell's RC airplane model that he was going to enter into a contest. Meanwhile, Brian attemps to cheer up Fay by letting her beat him in a game of tennis. Unfortunately for Brian, word gets around of his loss and everyone gives him a hard time. Helen confronts Roy over sex discrimination in the hiring process.
21. 'My Brother's Back- And There's Going To Be Trouble'- Joe's back is injured which forces him to stay at the hospital, so Brian takes over management of the airport. Brian has lots of creative ideas on how to improve business but they are less than successful.

The next day Brian brings his own girlfriend back to the house, and after a few passionate days they decide to get married in an airplane. With Joe and Helen as the best man and bridesmaid, they get caught up in the excitement and decide to get married at the same time.
25. 'All In the Family'- Brian is dating a new woman, but the woman's son is not too happy about their relationship. At the same time, Helen and Joe fight over their right to privacy.
26. 'Mother Wore Stripes'- Brian and Joe get a surprise visit by their long-lost mother who left their family many years ago, which leads to many buried emotions rising to the surface.
27. 'Murder She Roast'- Joe and Brian's house is fumigated, so Brian has to stay with Fay after Joe refuses Brian from staying with him and Helen. While staying at Fay's, Brian suspects Fay of being a murderer after seeing her doppelganger on TV.
28. 'Due For Plane and Cello'- Helen auditions for the Maine State Symphony and is hired, which catches Joe off guard. They fight over her new job and it ends up with Helen leaving for NYC. Back at the airport, Fay and Roy argue over a seemingly lost passenger who does not speak English. Fay wants to help her but Roy wants the woman to leave.
The first two seasons do not have Antonio Scarpacci, unfortunately, but we can all look forward to him in the third season at which point he becomes a regular. This is such a wonderful show and I'm glad that all its fans finally get to enjoy it on DVD!
You love every character but there are favorites. Mine was Antonio who comes along in Season 3 I believe.
The first season isn't very good, and with only six mediocre episodes I have no idea how it got renewed for a real second season that is much better, but it does indeed get a lot better in the second season. This show is definitely unique among sitcoms, and it had some truly great episodes.
The quality of these DVDs is pretty decent. The episodes look about the same as they did on Netflix, it's not the greatest quality, but I think that's about as good as this series would ever look without some serious work done on it that no company would probably ever bother with. The audio is very good as well, definitely clear, probably the best technical aspect of these budget DVDs.
Overall if you liked Wings and want to watch some of it again I do recommend these budget DVDs if you want a cheap way to watch the show. Also I did end up buying the complete series set eventually, I forgot how great the later seasons are and they were only available with the complete series set.
But it boggles my mind that they decided to put Tony Shaloub on the cover. Maybe he is introduced later but in this DVD, in season one and two, he makes one appearance in one show, as a waiter. He's terrific, but putting him on the cover was distracting - I kept waiting for his character to be introduced and come work at the airport or something and then...the season was over! This review should serve as a warning to other Shaloub fans - he only appears in one show on this DVD. That said, its a great DVD and I am glad I bought it.
This DVD set contains the first 28 episodes in their original broadcast order. The package design is attractive, the sound quality is good, but the video quality could be better. I'm not sure if it is the DVD transfer or the way the shows were first filmed, but the picture looks a little unclear on some of the episodes. This is not enough of a problem that it would cause me to return the product or not recommend it. I've seen worse (much worse) for more money. For 28 episodes on 4 discs, at this price, WINGS: THE COMPLETE FIRST AND SECOND SEASONS is a great value for any fan of good, intelligent comedy. Enjoy; just be careful you don't get groped by a wooden midget.

not sure you can watch parts of these wings episodes on youtube. This series
was made well before Frasier was produced or written.
The first episode is a bit washy as the actors learn to fit into their characters roles. They develop
quickly and perform brilliantly in the following episodes. Found this to be enjoyable well written
comedy series unlike many of the comedies which rely on stupidity for laughs.
The picture quality of the first episode looked a bit washed out but was more than watchable.
Other episodes looked fine and the sound was clear for an early 1990s production.
