2/5 Poor Quality
  by G. Ishii (Hawaii)
I love Wings the show, but Wings the DVD is horrible! As other reviewers have stated, the picture quality equals that of a home-made VHS tape. What's a VHS tape?... I'm waiting for it to come out on Blu-Ray, so should you.

P.S. Crystal Bernard is BABELICIOUS!

5/5 Very Nice Service

3/5 Good show that is funny but highly uneven
  by Austin Somlo (Vincentown, NJ)
If I can think of the TV shows that I usually watched during the 90's, Wings easily comes to my mind, and I remember every episode well although that fact was reinforced by having seen the reruns on USA channel. To this day, I am very astounded to learn that the very first episode aired nineteen years ago. Has time moved so fast? What I liked the best about Wings is its soft comedy with low expectations as this proved to be true in the first two seasons of Wings. Right now, I am looking at DVD cover of the show and questioning why the heck Tony Shalhoub, who only appeared in one episode titled "Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places," is on it when it should have been Rebecca Schull and David Schramm. The first two seasons of Wings doesn't have laugh-a-minute episodes, and there has been too much needless drama blended in. From time to time, Wings can be corny. Although I like the characters just fine, I've always hated Helen Chapel (not Chappel as shown in back of the DVD cover) and disliked Lowell Mather. I just can't stand that stupid self-conceited arrogant personality shown off by Helen, and whenever Lowell's time to say his lines, Thomas Haden Church has this quality of delivering the lines and then waiting for the audience to laugh (if they were) before he resumes. Almost all the time, he is just not a funny guy, and I wasn't all that surprised that his career tanked when he left for a short unimpressive movie career and a failed sitcom. Timothy Daly has this overt awkwardness on his face that barely blended in well through television but would have obviously failed to translate though silver screens. Having said that, it was a miracle that he survived yet I enjoyed his character nevertheless. Rebecca Schull isn't so bad herself and makes a pleasant presence on the show. The most underrated actor of Wings goes to David Schramm who portrayed his chauvinistic character perfectly well and displayed a fine talent for comedy in a dry way. The look of his face reminds me of Oliver Hardy of the Laurel and Hardy comedy team. Now for the final member of the cast, Stephen Weber, who plays Brian Hackett, in my opinion, is the reason why Wings survived out of the hole that spelled doom for any starter shows. He is so funny and spontaneous that he actually interjects a lot of energy which helped to set off a huge momentum in many of the episodes. Whenever an episode wasn't working, Wings desperately needed Brian. It is like the Kramer effect that many shows are dependent on. If it wasn't for Brian, I can't see Wings working out at all. The best episodes of Wings seasons 1 and 2 have to be "The Puppetmaster" and "My Brother's Back-And There's Going to be Trouble" with "Love Means Never Having to Say Geronimo" a close behind. The reasons why the three worked the best is because of Steven Weber, and there is no denying it. Many of the other episodes are more or less good and sometimes flat. There are certain few episodes that I felt to be highly insensitive and plain inappropriate for airing such as "There's Always Room for Cello," "Sports and Leisure," "A Stand Up Kind of Guy," "Mother Wore Stripes," and maybe "All in the Family." The "Mother Wore Stripes" should have not been aired at all due to its manipulative dealing with a touchy issue and its sugarcoated ending. All in all, the first two seasons Wings show promises of good solid comedy, but the identification of its genre is often too blurred, and its comedy is uneven in many episodes although it rehashes some of the old formulas used in other shows or movies. If somebody said that Wings is genius, that's a large exaggeration. It's just a good show that happens to stand the test of time well. As for the technical aspect of the DVD, there are no special features or any subtitles except for English closed captions. The picture quality is exactly of that period of time which doesn't bother me, but if it was highly reformatted, it would have been embarrassing for me to see Joe's face.

5/5 Great Series
  by Russell L. Martin (Middleton, WI United States)
Loved the series and the subplots it had in each episode. The epidode 'Plane 9 From Nantucket' was precious. I laughed my head off when they were in the plane and the passengers put on foil hats and had light bulbs in their mouths. Thanks to X-files for the inspiration.
