Wingin' It is a Canadian live-action TV series that involves an
angel in training named Porter, who is assigned to Carl Montclaire in an effort to get his angel wings as a "full angel". Much
Better Than It Sounds.
Currently has three seasons, but is ongoing.
Wingin' It provides examples of:
- Alpha Bitch: Brittany, minus the posse, and bitching downplayed. Gone in Season 2 onward.
- Our Angels Are Different: AITs.
- Attractive Bent Gender: I Carlie episode.
- Character Development: Serge, Dennis, Brittany.
- Series Resemblance: Every episode, the Five-Man Band get into problems due to Angel Magic, while an unrelated subplot goes in, which doesn't involve Angel Magic. I've heard that somewhere before...
- Idiot Ball: Serge, from Season 2 onward.
- Interspecies Romance: Between Denise and Carl.
- Jerk Jock: Serge in Season 1.
- Distaff Counterpart: Denise.
- First Law of Gender Bending: In "I, Carlie", Denise agrees that Carl, now Carlie, has learned her lesson, and agrees to turn her back into Carl, but finds she can't. The AIT handbook explains that he cannot go back to being a boy until he truly understands girls.
- Five-Man Band: Season 2 onward.
- Flanderization: Serge went from Jerk Jock to holder of the Idiot Ball, so this worked both ways.
- Gender Bender: "I, Carlie"
- Hot Scoop: Jane
- Locked Out of the Loop: Everyone but Jane.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Alex
- Running Gag: Malone doesn't have a car.
- Shout Out: I Carlie, She Blinded Me with Science, Lucy in the Sky With Carl, Alex in Slumberland...
- Signature Tropes: Alex and Chantecler Chickens.
Alex: The Chantecler chicken is Canada's only breed of chicken. It's a dual-purpose bird. That means it's raised for it's eggs, and to eat.
Carl: Enough with the Chantecler Chickens!
- Spiritual Successor: To Teen Angel.
- Unfazed Everyman: Carl
- Valley Girl: Brittany. Lampshaded by Denise, who turns into Brittany and inserts "LOL" and "WHATEVS" into her sentences.
