The Crew (1995) - Wings meets Friends meets Desperate Housewives
from That Was a Show? · host Radio Gizmo: Brynn, Aaron & Barry
The Crew WAS a show! Before he found success with Desperate Housewives, Mark Cherry co-created this workplace/hangout/romcom sitcom about hot young flight attendants based in Miami. It was a sufficiently horny romp for the 90s Fox line-up but didn’t quite “land” the same pop culture impact as Friends or Living Single. Brynn, Aaron & Barry book a flight on this fictional airline to discuss the many love triangles and polo shirts in primary colours in this forgotten sitcom. There’s also a tangent about tennis bracelets and a couple of cat cameos! Buckle in and prepare for take-off.
