I love these guys for their talent in acting as well as physical comedy. I grew up with them!

Doc - who are the people in the top photo? I only recognize one guy - thanks!

The show is called Wings. It was a fairly successful hit on NBC. It was set in a small airport in Nantucket and was peripherally connected to the Cheers universe. I liked it better than Cheers.

And at least two of the actors have a direct Stephen King association. Steven Weber was in the TV version of The Shining and Tim Daly was in Storm of the Century.

Loved Wings! More than Cheers as well. It had a more witty and cerebral type of humor than Cheers did. The cast was more likable as well. I loved Fay!
The episode in which they play Trivial Pursuit and Lowell keeps answering "Ann-Margret" is hystrical!

Yeah, exactly. I loved that episode. They truly are a great bunch of characters. Joe and Helen were hysterical because they were polar opposites, despite their romantic chemistry. Antonio was the perfect addition, a very funny misfit.

These two! And although Lucille Ball gets all the glory (and she definitely deserves the praise) Vivian Vance was in my opinion funnier in her delivery. She could deliver a zinger with just the right amount of sarcasm and wit like no one else could. I cut my comedy teeth on these two 50+ years ago and still watch this show religiously to this day!
