Wings

Written with a pen dipped in the clever-caustic "Cheers" well, it's high-spirited and clever. Most viewers will want to book future flights. [19 Apr 1990, p.21]

This slick new sitcom, from three former producer/writers of Cheers, might be accused of gliding along too smoothly, as opposed to soaring. But what a pleasant journey it promises to be. [19 Apr 1990, p.3D]

There's just not much chemistry between Daly and Weber; if anything, it's all too easy to see why Weber's character gets on Daly's nerves. But given the talent involved, it's reasonable to hope this problem will be worked out.

The writing is occasionally sharp and observational, but the first episode relied too often on smarmy, anatomically based humor. [19 Apr 1990, p.9]

More of a let-down than a pick-me-up. [19 Apr 1990, p.E9]

So far there's little else to recommend Wings. [15 Apr 1990, p.TV-8]

The bickering of the brothers -- who spend most of the half hour trying run down an anticipated inheritance from their deceased father -- quickly flattens into a tedious monotone. Loosen your seat belts. [19 Apr 1990, p.F10]
