"The real excitement occurs at 1:24 mark of the teaser. It goes by so quickly you may miss it," says Tim Grierson. "As one of the promotional stills HBO made available confirmed, apparently Winning Time is going to at least devote some time to Abdul-Jabbar’s appearance in the 1980 comedy classic Airplane! I really don’t care about the rest of the series — I wish the whole thing was just about him making Airplane!"
