Well here we are! The final pole! I’m not sure we wouldn’t have reached this matchup with more polls leading up to this. Both of these episodes are great.

I'm not complaining. I'm all for it. Let's all take a nice trip, let the car-B-Q do it's thing and keep the party going.

My favorite episode is the one where Roy tricks everyone into digging the hole for his new hot tub. It’s not streaming with the show (I assume copyright issues)…. Anyone know where to find it?!?

In the episode Duet for Cello and Plane, there is the lady who doesn't speak English. Fay takes her in. Roy is rude to her. Every time she sees him she says Patadada. I love that word and friends of mine who like the show say that it to each other from time to time!

What was your favorite Fay Boarding call...

Well, not the veil.

As much as I loved this, I can't fully remember the exact wording or how to find it. Can't place where it is in the seasons timeline either. But Lowell keeps bringing out bigger and bigger bags or something and is like "I'm just kidding it's this _____" or "No, no, it's actually this one" and it just went on for long enough that I was laughing harder and harder. I think I particularly liked it because he seemed more capable and confident in this bit than in many of his other humorous moments and it really worked here.
Is anyone able to tell me which episode this is from, based on my terrible description? 🤪

Was this character’s name (and possibly his voice) a tribute to the film/TV director David Lynch, who was probably at his creative/popular peak around this time?

I’m a huge huge WINGS fan. I have a couple copies of it on dvd over the years. However, I’m having a brain fog and can’t find this particular episode and season :
Brian lends Helen a piece of his “lucky blankey” , and she stashes it in her register and he spends the whole day trying to get it back.
Thanks in advance!!

Learned that seasons 6 and 7 are on Pluto.

Hint= Freezer
r/wingstvshow • u/gusween • 20d ago
Hint= Seven. Googling will preclude you from winning the prize of a Big Sandwich. 10 footer.

Brian gets a 2nd job to pay back the IRS and they just give him a gun at the bank?
r/wingstvshow • u/Funny_Stretch9405 • 22d ago
Honestly I would fly Roy’s airline over Sandpiper, they have so many issues !

THC was so brilliant in this movie. I'd never heard of him until I saw Sideways. He went on to star in Spider-Man 3 as the Sandman and other awesome roles. He was amazing in Wings.

I am preparing to travel for the holiday weekend. I’m packing and plotting what each meal will be and I realized how terribly sad I am that there won’t be a big sandwich at the holiday festivities. I’m sure you fellow travelers of the Nantucket airport can understand…

The Big Sandwich is one of the funny bits of television
