I always watch non-trek Frakes on drunk mode (50% speed) after seeing those hilarious Fact or Fiction clips.
Omg, brilliant idea. I feel like there's a lot of videos I need to rewatch in drunk mode.
I bet janeway can separate them
His uhhhh His new brother might disagree. We’ll just end up with more Riker.
I…remember when that was on TV. I was pretty young, and it felt surreal.
Between no beard:
Classic beard:
And stupid beard:
Can't decide if I like "Wings" beard.
The mustache does look period-appropriate, at least
Apparently there was a lot of Monk in Tony Shalhoub even before Monk existed
I saw this video pop up on my feed yesterday too....but didn't watch it.
I did, however watch that episode of Wings when it originally aired. Wings is one of those shows that seemed like it should have been more successful but unfortunately it was existing in the shadow of Cheers (and existed in the same universe)
I enjoyed Wings when it was on, but when I saw it on reruns, I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. It did last several seasons.
7 seasons, and like a lot of shows the final 1 or 2 turn everyone into charicatures of themselves and plots get a little absurd.
I'd probably still enjoy it but like most sitcoms of the era the jokes and humor aged a little different
How is 7 seasons not successful as hell?
I didn't say it wasn't successful. It was nominated for 3 Emmy's; 1 technical and 2 for guest stars...one of which was for Frasier's crossover. Iirc there were 3 episodes where Cheers characters guest started, or cameo, but no mention of Wings on Cheers.
Underrated or overshadowed is more accurate.
I get it, I'm just being a pedantic asshole on the internet - just like how much more successful can you really get than that especially for a spin off series?
Just what popped in my head is all.
I was expecting him to use the Riker Maneuver to win her over but he didn't even have to do that.
Was able to guess the show from just the background. I really wonder how well it holds up now.
