Favorite "Wings" Clips and Episodes

[David In Indy]

Before I became a diehard Raymond fanatic, I was a huge fan of Wings, starring Tim Daly, Steven Weber, Crystal Bernard, David Schramm, Rebecca Schull, Tony Shalhoub and Thomas Haden Church. For those of you who are not familiar with Wings, the show takes place on Nantucket Island where Joe Hackett (Tim Daly) and his brother Brian (Steven Weber) run a small one plane commuter airline. The show was created by the producers and writers of "Cheers". The series originally aired from 1990-1997.

I started watching the show because I thought Tim Daly was so sexy and cute. I still do in fact. But, in addition to the good looks, the show was incredibly funny and I watched it every week.

This first episode is called Insanity Claus I am posting the entire episode in three different parts. Someone just uploaded this video on Christmas Eve, and Youtube sometimes pulls these videos after a few days, so who knows how long it will be available.

Here is a clip from The Bogey Men (Season Three)

Joe and Brian take a golfing trip to Myrtle Beach and much to their dismay, Roy and Lowell come along for the ride. This clip is about 10 minutes long...

This next one is a clip from one of my favorite episodes! This is a clip from Sports and Leisure (Season One).

After ruining the gang's fishing trip, killjoy Roy asks Joe for tips on how to make more friends. He gets a chance to test his new skills at the group's weekly "Trivial Pursuit" game at Helen's house. But for Roy, playing nice may be harder than it looks.

This clip is about 7 min 30 sec long...

Here's a clip from Das Plane (Season Three)

Joe's flying high when he learns the ticket he donated to a children's hospital charity event raised $10,000. But his mood begins its descent when Brian's misprint on the ticket forces him to fly Carlton Blanchard on a cross-country trip for a reunion with his brother....

This video is about 6 minutes.

Apparently the last line of the episode was cut out of this video. Carlton says "Hey, wait a minute! This isn't Daddy's watch. And come to think of it, Milford doesn't have red hair....... maybe it WAS Las Cruces!"

Clip from Murder She Roast (Season Two)


When Brian stays at Faye's temporarily, he relishes in her home cooked meals and hospitality.... until he watches a fugitive-at-large TV show and sees the "Culinary Killer", a serial murderer who bears a striking resemblance to his hostess. When Faye plans his farewell dinner,  he asks Joe and Helen to join him for what may be his last supper.


This clip is about 4 minutes.

Thanks for the memories, David.

I loved "Wings" too.  I agree, Tim Daly is a hottie.  I have to admit I always thought Lowell/Thomas Haden Church was hot, especially with his long hair...

Two of my favorites were 1) when Brian sunk Lowell's house-boat and he came to live with them; and 2) the "Phantom of the Oprah" episode.

I just watched the first clip of the Insanity Clause episode.
Hey, there's Monk!  And one of the first things he says is about the jelly donut guy being a total nutcase

You're welcome Paul! I'm happy you enjoyed the video clips. Yeah, Wings brings back a lot of memories for me too. They still air Wings on TVLand sometimes, and also on Nick at Night. I bought seasons 1-4 on DVD. I'm not sure if they have released the later seasons yet, but if they have I plan on buying them too!

Yes, I really liked Lowell. I always thought if I couldn't have Joe (Tim Daly) I'd gladly settle for Lowell.
