> I watched it for three hours and it got to the final scene to reveal whodunnit and the tape ran out.

I ran into one of these on Youtube just a couple of weeks ago. The reaction in the comments was something less than amused.

(Bittersweet memories of taping over some of Mom's seemingly non-important video in order to record...what was it, the first X-files episode? A _Wings_ episode about a favorite jet? Something like that. But man, she was not happy.)

You’re the first person in any forum online I’ve seen reference Wings. My dads friend used to call my dad to tell him it was on and he’d switch from whatever ninja turtles / golden girls / simpsons episode we were watching. We despised wings! But actually it’s a great show.

Funny. I hadn't searched for it online much but I can understand its lack of traction. It was like a lot of commercial promotional clips spliced together, in some ways. It left a lot of questions unanswered, too! But it was great for an overview and the theme music will be forever engraved in my memory, right next to the _Strike Commander_ theme. :-)
