Best Wings Episodes Poll

[Kristen]

I was thinking maybe we could all list our 10 favorite Wings episodes
and see which episodes are the most popular here. The episodes don't
have to be in any particular order. Here's my list...

1. Murder, She Roast
2. The Puppetmaster
3. Airport '90
4. Blackout Buggins
5. Planes, Trains, and Visiting Cranes
6. The Bogey Men
7. What the Cabbie Saw
8. Love is Like Pulling Teeth
9. Insanity Claus
10. The Team Player

There are so many good ones. I know my list will change tomorrow.

[Mark Norwich]

Here is my list, in no particular order. Like Kristen, I am sure that it
could change tomorrow. I've never seen "What the Cabbie Saw" (sounds like
I'm making a joke).

Murder She Roast
Crate Expectations
The Bogey Men
Das Plane
The Bank Dick
Say It Ain't So, Joe
The Fortune Cookie
Blackout Buggins
Terminal Jealousy
Death Becomes Him

You missed one of the series' finest episodes. It was, IMHO, the best
episode that focused on Antonio. If you ever find someone who has a
copy of it on tape, or when (knock on wood) it comes out on tape or on
another network, make sure you watch it.

I have the urge to change my top 10 list so I better get outta here!
;0) Good night!

I'm not as big a Wings fan as I thought as I don't
know a lot of the episodes titles, but their high
energy eps. are my favorites, where a million things
are happening at once.

1. Joe Blows (the one title I know)
2. Joe and Brian lose Kingsbury's body
3. Helen getting ready for her date with
Davis ("Dinner, not ready!")
4. Helen and Antonio's annulment
5. Brian running Sandpiper when Joe's in the hospital
6. Christmas party at Helen's when everyone wants to
be somewhere else
7. "We burned their house down!"
8. Helen's Boston debut that doesn't happen
cuz of the crash
9. not a hyper one, but Murder She Roast, one of the
funniest endings ever
10. Same with Blackout Buggins

>The Bank Dick

The bank customer that Brian hassles in this ep is played by Crystal's father
Jerry!

I'm a huge Wings fan and I don't know all
of the episode titles either Ryan!
I like your taste in eppies. I'm still working
on mine! THE PRESSURE!

Don't feel bad. I can't remember half the episode titles most of the
time myself. I usually have to go look them up. I can remember the
titles for the ones I really love though.
At least the titles are creative, unlike the titles for Friends
episodes. They all start out like "The One Where" or "The One With".
Hey, that's a good topic idea! What if the Wings episodes were titled
like Friends episodes?

[Mark Norwich]

> 9. not a hyper one, but Murder She Roast, one of the
> funniest endings ever

My two favorite endings (cut right to credits) are "Say it Ain't So, Joe",
when Joe and Brian play catch in the hangar and the end to "Ladies Who
Lunch" when the screen cuts to Edwin Newman telling the nation of Roy's
arrest saying "he is currently going under psychiatric treatment". When
ever we watch those, we always rewind.

Same here. I'm gonna have to go through the episode guide at home to
pick a top 10 (posting at work sucks sometimes).

Me either. I know maybe a few but that's it. There are so many favorite
eps......I like the Carlton ones. I loved Louis! The Puppetmaster one, the one
where they got to S Carolina to play golf, the one where Joe's mom comes back,
the Kingsbury one, Murder She Roast, the Roy Buggins one.....just to name a
few.

I agree!
Those kids from Canada were outstanding!

[Kristen]

Well, are there any more votes, or should I just tally up the ones
posted here already? Looks like Murder, She Roast is the winner
though.

[Buttercup]

Here we go:

The Naked Truth
Mother Wore Stripes
There is Always Room For Cello

Love is Like Pulling Teeth

Murder She Roast
The Bogey Man
Blackout Buggins
2 Good 2 Be 4 Gotten
Ready Teddy Go
Insanity Claus

Ah yes, Blackout Buggins, in which a scene was shot in those UNCOMFORTABLE
bleechers the audience sat in! And Mother Wore Stripes, starring Barbara
Babcock as Ma Hackett! I loved her work in "Hogan's Heroes", she did in my
opinion age well! (I hope I didn't just commit a major blunder there!!)

I've always wondered why it is that when a man gets old, he's
"dignified", but when a woman gets old, she's an "old bag".

"Women don't get older. They 'mature'." ;-)

Funniest Wings episodes:
1. Helen's botched date with Davis--"Dinner, not ready!"
2. Halloween costume party/senator's heart in a cooler--Bryan's
costume nearly gave me a stroke!
3. Blackout Buggins--thank goodness for cheesy video tricks and sound
effects!
4. Time Capsule--Joe and Bryan as queens in Casey's letter-'Nuff
said.
5. Helen takes care of Carlton Blanchard--"EMPTY!!!"
6. Date package #7--classic jam session intro and classic Bryan-line,
"There's a door behind that guy??"
7. Murder, She Roast--no comment necessary.
8. the single's dance--"BELLY BUTTON!!"
9. 2 GOOD 2 B 4 GOT 10--Joe Travolta, Disco King
10. Joe plays a dead guy in a coffin--Antonio's reaction to the dead
"Joe" nearly split my sides!

Honorable mention: Helena Handbasket at the drag queen show in NYC,
Antonio's too-tight shoes, Lowell and the astronaut "live fast, die
young, and leave a flat headed corpse," Lowell's wax museum, Casey's
poodle hair, and Joe Hackett at a Pearl Jam concert...Pearl Bailey,
maybe! LOL!
