Review of Wings

This series came out and ended when I was in my 20's. I'm in my 50's now and getting a few of the old boxed sets from my youth. Season 1-4 is Gold! Season 5-6 is hit or miss. Season 7-8 is more miss than hit. They got rid of the actor who played Lowell at the end of season 6 so they could fill every show with Joe/Helen drama and it was a big mistake. Lowell was the eccentric mechanic who always gave us laughs. When they took him out of the mix, the show took a steady nose-dive and only made it 2 more seasons. Want to remember the best? Stick with seasons 1-4 and save seasons 5-8 when nothing else is on to watch. I would rate Seasons 1-4 in the 9-10 Star range. Those were the years when the writers were still coming up with good story lines that would leave you laughing even after the episodes ended.
