Wings went through some changes in Season 7. The most obvious was the departure of Thomas Hayden Church as Lowell Mather. He appears in just one episode where he is written out of the show for the remainder of the series. He is replaced by a new mechanic named Budd who appears frequently in the first half of the season but less and less in the second half. Apparently, the producers came to see him as a mistake because he is dropped altogether for Season 8.

Outside of the cast changes already mentioned, Season 7 of Wings stuck to a formula similar to prior seasons and was largely successful. Joe, Helen, Brian, and Casey all occupy the same house thanks to a fire and the situation was milked for as much as the writers could get out of it. This year may not be at quite the level that we saw from Wings - The Sixth Season, but there are plenty of laughs and it makes for an enjoyable time.

I love the whole Wings series, but in Season 7 after Joe and Helen get married and Lowell leaves, it's not quite as funny. Lowell was a lovable goofball, but the new guy is just an idiot. I guess it's no wonder the show canceled in Season 8.

I am a huge fan of the Wings series. This is the type of sitcom that created must see t.v. in the mid to late 90's. Season 7 does not disappoint. Wings is one of the few series that I watch from Season 1 to the end. Season 7 includes some of my favorite episodes including the one where Joe has to pretend to be dead while Brian searches for the misplaced body. I love it! The loss of Lowell is noticeable, although his replacement does have his comedic moments. All in all this is a great season, but don't start with this one, you will be completely lost in the story lines. Start with season 1 and work your way up, you will be glad you did.

Wings is a great show. Although after the wedding, the burning down of both houses and the departure of Thomas Haden Church (Lowell), this show was headed toward its end. The stories in this season have a different feel to them, and they have almost abandoned the whole airport/airline aspect of the show.

Still a great show and I will definitely be enjoying the last season upon its release.

This is my favorite season, the cast is so perfect together and it has some of the funniest episodes I ever saw. Amy Yasbeck (Casey) is even funnier than she was in the previous season and absolutely makes the show sparkle.

Well, what can be said about he best comedy of the 90's? Nothing, except that Season Seven is, in my opinion, one of the absolute most hilarious seasons in sitcom history. In particular, the episode with Sandy Cooper (her 3rd appearance on the show), was for me the one of the funniest epidodes I've ever seen. Sandy has Joe convinced he is completely crazy and what she has in store for him is even nuttier and funnier than her first two appearances. Poor Joe! The entire season is awesome! Enjoy to your heart's content or until you can laugh no more!

Wings is a show I really enjoy and always found funny. Despite the positive reviews I've seen on season 7, I found this to be the season I enjoyed the least. I certainly was not laughing out as loud as I was with the previous seasons, and not just because of the absence of Lowell. I'm keeping it in my library to complete the series, but when I go back to watch episodes of Wings I will more likely pick one of the other seasons.

For any given wings fan,this is a must! The timing that they have together is really great..very enjoyable.

Every year this series gets a little more goofy and this season is no exception. Watching the shows always gives me a good laugh. I love the characters; they are well written, and the actors are faithful to the character. I will buy the next season when it comes out. It makes me long for some intelligent, well written, funny sitcoms on tv today.

Enjoy another season of Wings...while some of the comedy isn't as good as the previous seasons, the Seventh season is as good as any current TV sitcom.
