Tim Daly Calls 'Wings' The Stepchild Of 'Seinfeld,' 'Cheers' And 'Frasier'

[@ryandeffley7652]

One of the funniest sitcoms of all time hands down. Doesn't get the full recognition it deserves.

[@franbacon82]

Underrated sitcom! It was a hidden gem!!

[@mattb6369]

Wings is probably my favorite sitcom of the 90s absolutely defining that decade.

[@SXI96]

IMHO Wings was much better than all the shows he mentioned.. it had great writing, superb acting, and characters, I find myself watching WINGS more than any other show from the 90s, it had everything, comedy sprinkled with heartfelt and dramatic moments, I'm glad it finally got the recognition it deserved through reruns, it definitely is a classic

[@blueblur2273]

Wings was a solid show but it's definitely not "much better" than Cheers, Seinfeld or Fraiser. That's just ridiculous.

[@thunderridge4830]

Amy Yasbeck as Helen's sister was a great addition. This show is a classic.

[@jenniferbeth953]

100% agree with you. Also, glad they got rid of Alex. Horrible character and actress.

[@Asukenick]

Tim Daly is so handsome. He must be a vampire like Keanu Reeves because he just never ages.

[@michaelfuson4490]

Cheers is a good show, but a bit before my time, Frazier is cool always enjoy watching it, never could get into Seinfeld, don't hate it, but it just never got me...Wings though, that's my show, I have always said it is the most underrated sitcom of all time, I still believe that.

[@Asukenick]

I hope Wings gets a reboot.

[@robz.3225]

Went to the taping of the episode where Fay retires. So fun to watch!! Wings was my favorite at the time and while I still love it and watch it Fraiser is my favorite now. I’m actually watching it right now.

[@marchetafitzsimmons3636]

I love Wings and I've seen the episodes so many times that when I go bike riding, I tune into an episode and listen but I don't need to look at it because I know what's happening!

[@leablev5250]

No, Tim wings was better than those other shows, they never should of canceled it, I have every season, plus I was watching one tonight,

[@blueblur2273]

No Tim's right. It definitely wasn't as good as those shows

[@trawlins396]

I'm watching Wings on hulu and it's absolutely hilarious. I watched it in its first run also.

[@swanay1]

Wings was very funny show. I loved every bit of it.

[@bman342a]

Reruns or First runs, one of my all-time favorite shows.

[@scottyb003]

This show was better than Cheers, Seinfeld, and Frasier to me. I'm in season 2, and enjoying every minute of it.

[@blueblur2273]

🤨You got some peculiar taste friend.

[@T947]

Funniest episode of wings is when Brian was the reasons they ( him & Joe) got 🪳‘s and Brian went to go stay with Fay for a couple of days because he didn’t have nowhere to go & he wind up thinking she was a serial killer! 😂 still 😄 til dis day ( In Deontay Wilder voice)

[@tinalulumack378]

Completely agree!!!!

[@robz.3225]

Great episode

[@angelabolton4478]

That one is great. Mine is when Brian sank Lowell's boat so Lowell moved in with Joe and Brian.

[@kylekullin2520]

The first Carlton episode is hilarious 😆

[@2410jrod]

I so loved this show over Frazier and Seinfeld

[@jeffcharlton9660]

Seinfeld was very overrated imo.

[@MikeSmith-sz3vh]

Best show ever.

[@bobmanp8653]

they did a couple cross overs from cheers to wings but they should have gone the other way too. it would have been cool to see Lowell meet Woody

[@cl8594]

No, Tim. I was a. Big fan when wings was on.

[@Slopmaster]

Me too

[@Price70]

IMO Wings first 5 seasons was better than every show he referenced.

[@fehner27]

Cheers was a great show. I haven't watched enough Seinfeld to judge, but I enjoy what I see. Frasier is my stepson's favorite sitcom of all time, so I'm sure it's good. Wings is my favorite show of that era and probably of all time to me. I can binge watch that show every day of the week it seems.

[@jojo-xu4iz]

Wings was such a great show.

[@tinaloveseddie]

That first guy Travis looked strung out😏

[@JeremyWeitzJW]

Get in the box Joe.

[@axelfoley1406]

Some of the funniest characters in the sitcom world...Antonio, Lowell and Roy made the show.

[@tonyasullivan1133]

Greg Mundo I have the wings box Set. the episode is hilarious. Especially the end

[@toddwieland7664]

It wasn’t so much the content as the era The music makes one hungry for an unbroken world Where everybody knows your mame

[@blueblur2273]

Nope it was definitely the content and the era. For starters the theme song was a boring choice for a 90s show especially compared to many of the other sitcoms during the era(Cheers, Fresh Prince, Home Improvement, Simpsons, Fresh Prince, Married with Children, Martin). 2ndly the writing in terms of jokes weren't as strong compared to it's step parent shows(Seinfeld and Fraiser). Lastly they just couldn't create compelling enough characters(Taxi had Louie, Family Matters had Steve Urkel, Happy Days had Fonzie) or relationships(Cheers Sam and Diane, Friends Rachel and Ross, A Different Worlds Dwayne and Whitley, Boy Meets World Corey and Topanga) for the audience to get behind.

[@j1xcalibur]

I seen that episode in coffin. Antonio has the best moves for fainting. I lol every time I see it. And negative on the stepchild comment. I thought it just as good if not better than those mentioned. I know if definitely wasn’t a lack of talent so perhaps more of a production snaffu

[@kevinbergin9971]

Drew Carey?

[@blueblur2273]

That was an ABC show not an NBC one

[@sharonw4325]

Seinfeld was my #1 then Wings#2. Amy Yasbeck was perfect in that role.
