Wings
“Look, up in the air. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a high-flying comedy - where the laughs always arrive on schedule!”
CreatorDavid Angell, Peter Casey
Two brothers run a one-plane commuter airline out of a small airport on Nantucket, sharing the terminal with a rival operator, a mechanic and the woman both of them knew in high school. The NBC sitcom came from the 'Cheers' writers David Angell, Peter Casey and David Lee and ran eight seasons from 1990 to 1997. Tim Daly and Steven Weber play Joe and Brian Hackett, with Crystal Bernard as Helen, a cellist working the lunch counter, plus Thomas Haden Church, Rebecca Schull and David Schramm. Almost everything happens in the departure lounge.
