message: Someone please put Gayle in the recurring character list.  I don't remember enough about her to write a good recap of her character.  She was Joe's GF.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.157.7.4 (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Interior scenes were, of course, filmed on a soundstage
Is that soundstage as in Soundstage?? I'm no native speaker, so please excuse the stupid question. JanCK 23:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Why did CBS release the DVD's if the show originally aired on NBC?  Anyone know?
:Because CBS is owned by and is partnered with Paramount, the company that produced the show and owns the distribution rights. And as far as why the series aired on NBC when it was produced by CBS, since Paramount owned the rights to it, they were free to air it on whatever network they could make a deal with, and they simply felt airing it on NBC would be more beneficial to the show's success. It happens a lot more than you would think; Seinfeld and Frasier were also CBS/Paramount shows that ended up airing on NBC.Raymondluxuryacht 21:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to make it clear to people who don't know how TV works, a production studio pitches it to as many places it can to get the series aired.  Many things can factor into this, but the studio wants to make money by selling it to a network.   If CBS decided not to air it, of course they would pitch it to other networks.  Now with Wings, and Fraiser, it might be slightly different, because they are both spinoffs of NBC successesful series, Cheers.  So NBC may have actually commisioned Paramount to creat the pilot, specifically for them.  Any way this is all pretty mute in this discussion, because at the time Viacom did not own CBS.  So they would produce for any of the major 4 without a problem.  EnsRedShirt 21:10, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: In the Cheers tie-in section, it is noted that Niles plays the Wings theme in an episode of Frasier. This is both right and wrong. It is unlikely that Niles was playing the Wings theme since it takes place as the same universe as Wings, and therefore there is presumably not a tv show in that universe that has that theme song. Niles was playing the sonata by Schubert, quite reasonable since he is  an established lover of the arts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.82.64.16 (talk) 07:38, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I propose that Lowell Mather be merged into Wings (NBC TV series). Lowell Mather is not notable enough for its own page and should be merged with the Wings page. Hirolovesswords (talk) 00:11, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
