Trivia:
Tony Shalhoub's father and mother's names are Joe and Helen, matching the two lead characters in "Wings". Additionally, his father's brother's name is Brian, the same as the show's character Joe. Coming from a NY theatre background and unfamiliar with the then year old program, Shalhoub was unaware of this until he saw his audition script. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the last episode, when the brothers open the locker and take the suitcase full of money that their father left for them, it is the same locker that Lowell opens in the first episode to get the first suitcase their father left. Lowell only takes out the one suitcase. more
Quotes:
Joe Hackett: This is the dumbest thing Brian's ever done, and he once painted me blue. more

The Absolute Best and Funniest Show on TV, 23 June 2000

I can't even begin to describe the beauty of this amazing show. I have loved every episode I've seen and I'm so happy USA is running the reruns. Every character is great and hilarious. I especially like Brian and Helen. I think everyone should check this out and hopefully you'll get into it too. Set your VCR's for this one.....
