A well-written sitcom that infuses romance with slapstick humor, Wings takes off in its third season with the inclusion of series regular Tony Shalhoub (Monk), who plays immigrant cab driver Antonio Scarpacci. Some of the funniest storylines in this 22-episode collection revolve around Antonio and his quest to stay in the United States. Wings is set at an airport in Nantucket, where brothers Joe (Timothy Daly, Diner, The Nine) and Brian Hackett (Steven Weber, Jeffrey, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) run a small airline that's struggling to stay in business. The previous season ended with Joe's on-again, off-again crush Helen (Crystal Bernard) moving to New York to pursue her dream of working as a classical musician. This third year resolves that plot and finds Helen returning home to Nantucket and eventually marrying one of her friends at the airport. As the dim-witted mechanic Lowell, Thomas Haden Church provides consistent laughs, but exhibits none of the nuanced acting skills that make him such a standout in later films such as Sideways. And while Weber gets the funnier lines, it is Daly as the more serious older brother Joe who is the heart of the show. Look for guest appearances by Kelsey Grammer and Bebe Neuwirth reprising their Cheers roles of Frasier and Lilith. Bernard shares some wonderful scenes with them and gets to show off her knack for physical comedy. Also, be on the lookout for Laura Innes, playing Lowell's flirtatious wife Bunny. Her loopy portrayal here is quite a departure from the stark, straight-laced part she plays on ER. Ultimately, it's the cast's strong chemistry that truly makes this season of Wings soar. --Jae-Ha Kim

Great show---poor quality
As others have posted we were thrilled to get Wings on DVD but the quality is not great. However it is not so bad that we won't continue to get the rest of the series. LOVE Wings!

DVD picture quality is worse than VHS
I don't know how they managed it but the quality of the video is worse than VHS. I think it's because they put so many episodes on each DVD that the transfers are suffering from overcompressed video. We all know the original source video are sharp and crisp from watching them on NBC, USA network, Nick at Nite, etc. I'm hoping they release them on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD in the future. Then again, they could suffer from the exact same problem if Paramount gets cheap and decides to cram all 8 seasons onto one DVD.

Bad quality transfer, great show.
These dvd look like they have been transfered from VHS tapes. What's up with that??

A Very Good Season for Wings.
I love this season. It starts with Helen and Antonio getting married, and ends with the cast drifting at sea.
