Tim Daly, Crystal Bernard & Rest of 'Wings' Cast 30 Years after the Sitcom Premiered

The series takes place in the same fictional universe as “Cheers,” and has the same warm feeling to it, but it revolves around a small airport instead of a bar. This is what its cast has been doing since the series ended.

“Wings” aired for seven years between 1990 and 1997, and it is one of the most definite series of the decade, with its mix of comedy, drama, and the addressing of issues that remain relevant to this day, apart from its deluxe ensemble cast.

But time does not pass in vain, and a lot has gone on in the careers of these beloved actors and actresses, and we wonder how many of them could you recognize nowadays. Let’s take a look at them 30 years later.
