I remember watching this show in the 90's. It is really the only sit-com that I can think of that I really truly enjoyed enough to watch every week.
Then, with syndication in the mid to late 90's I got to watch it all over again.
Well, now they have finally come to their senses and have started releasing the show on DVD. All I can say is it's about time. This was the funniest show of the 90's and it is my personal favorite sit-com of all time.
It just doesn't get any better. The characters are great; Joe, the anal and overly sensitive older brother; Brian, the flyboy (literally and figuratively); Helen, the quick-witted, smart-mouthed, lifelong friend; Fay, the (somewhat disfunctional) mother figure to everyone; Roy, the competition, a pain in the butt, but still always around causing trouble; and my personal favorites, Lowell and Antonio, Lowell being the village idiot that's good with a wrench but bad with everything else, and Antonio, the Italian cabby with a heart of gold but a long-fuse and a sarcastic, cynical outlook.
I LOVE THIS SHOW. To the producers, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Wings is one of those shows that leaves you feeling good after watching an episode. When I need to forget about the day and all of the problems in it, Wings lets me forget them.

On to the DVD features. This DVD set features are non-existent and now has no "ALL Play" feature and you can't skip the end credits making you fast forward through them to get to the Main Menu to select the next episode. The manufacturer must be getting really lazy since the DVD has nothing but episodes and removed one of the nice features from the previous Wings DVD Sets.

Disk Error: My second disk doesn't allow me to directly play the first episode correctly; it plays with no sound. I have to skip to the next episode and then go back to the first one and now the sound plays.

Overall I'm happy with Season 4 even with the issues stated above.

Why, oh why did they take Wings off the air? It is my favorite show and I was so happy that it is finally on DVD. Have Seasons 1, 2, & 3 and looking forward to collecting the remaining seasons, so hurry up and release them.

One of the greatest shows of all time. By the fourth season, the characters have all been developed. The writing, acting, directing, all are superb. Please hurry with the rest of the seasons.

I first watched wings on tv in the states while visiting my brother it was funny but respectful any one in any age can watch but I think when thomas hayden church left the show was never the same again it was a mistake letting him go .I own season 1 2 3 4 on dvd its a must have collection ,and I plan owning them all the 8 seasons.Some shows you never get tierd watching them to me these are cheers,sanford and son,spin city and wings .

We have watched these so many times and yet they still make us laugh. This is good, clean entertainment that even your tweens will enjoy!

Its hilarious to watch this over again. I just love seeing Tony Shalhoub as Antonio.

There are very competent reviews prior to this one involving plot reviews etc. This is a well done series overall. I didn't watch it much when it was in its intial run unless I ran across it. Getting the series now I regret that. Roy may be the upfront bully/weirdo but I think Fay is downright freaky-creepy (I mean that with love). She has this possessed smile and twinkle in her eye. I have never in real life seen a ticket agent that enthusiastic about boarding announcements and if I did I would probably run for another airline. The relatioship between the brothers has a lot of real depth to it too. I don't remember Helen being as physically violent either but it is refreshing to see a good-looking female character with some dimension other than just looking good. If ever anyone needed an anger management class Helen would be at the top of the list! My only dissapointment is that the DVD series through 4, at least, contain no extras, and starting with season 4 the "Play All" feature has been removed for what reason I cannot understand. I noticed that this happens with some of the older series... Costs are minimized then features added if the series sells well. It is unfortunate when the studios go the other way.

I think season 4 is the best so far. I have loved this show since it was on the air. Its great to sit and watch it without commericals and still laugh and laugh.

I totally loved this show when it was on air. I am so glad that the DVD available now. I never get tired watching it. TOTALLY Awesome! I've got most laughs out of this show! Just love it.
