EP207: All Things WINGS Part 1


Ken talks to Rob Leszczak, who wrote “The Complete Guide to the TV Sitcom WINGS.”  Between Rob’s research and Ken’s personal recollections of working on WINGS,  it’s a fascinating insider’s look at a sitcom that deserved way more respect than it received.  

 


Listen to the Hollywood & Levine podcast!

  1. "Sometimes, I think my raison d’etre on this swiftly tilting planet is to remind people of what an overlooked and underrated tv show Wings is." https://xmastime.blogspot.com/2015/05/thoughts-i-have-them_15.html :)

    Thanks for talking about WINGS, Ken!!!!!!!

  2. As sound designer for Discovery Channel's '90s military aviation series "Wings", I find your show highly inconvenient when I try to discuss my work experience and credits. Can you do something about that? ;)

  3. WINGS was such a great show and a key part of Thursday nights Must See TV.

    Still one of my favorites lines is at the end of Das Planes when Carlton says:

    Maybe it was Los Cruces...


    Looking forward to Part 2

  4. Still one of my favorites - great cast, great writing and always a surprise in every episode - I watch it late night where they run back to back episodes and they rotate Wings with Becker - no wonder I stay up late every night - hahahaha

    Great interview! Love that this started as a project to keep him busy during COVID

  7. Wings, Cheers & Frasier, that's why I pay for CBS All-access. Anything else that turns up that I like is a bonus.

    If only they'd get Becker, too!

    Excellent podcast, enjoyed it a lot. (The book's a bit pricey, I'll have to wait for it to hit the used market.)
