Wonderful character development!
... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

... View MoreThis was one of the most entertaining shows on TV, not to mention AMC. After it went off the air, I lost interesting in the station. They completely changed their lineups and started having commercials. I wish that they would release the entire collection of this show on DVD. I would buy it and show it to all of my friends that have not seen it. I was disappointed in how they left the show in a cliffhanger. Shame on you AMC for taking away one of the most original and unique shows that ever came on. There will never be another Remember WENN, nor will there ever be characters like those on this show. Each were so different and well acted.
... View MoreRemember WENN looks back at a time (tongue in cheek) when radio was family entertainment. Rupert Holmes created the 1930s radio station as a backdrop for many faces which were not very well known in movies. Their voices and his humor made the show a success much like voices were the backbone of radio 70 years ago. Chris Murney excelled as the man with a thousand voices and referred to himself in the introductory episode as the "hairless Hamlet." Of all of the people we love to hate Melinda Mullins did a great job as Hillary Booth. Holmes' love for the past and the impact it has on the present is seen much like it is in his later work, "Good Night Gracie." Like any television show, certain weeks were better than other. Plays on words and word humor make it most memorable. Though Remember WENN was only on the air for a few seasons, it had clearly a divided audience: either you loved it for the memories you would have liked to have had of a time in which you didn't live, or you hated it for being "slapstick humor" with little know talent on AMC where most people were looking for classic movies. Personally, I liked it and still enjoy the recordings I made of it.
... View MoreThe golden age of radio, captured on the small screen, and masterfully done. Conceived and written by 70s pop-balladeer Rupert Holmes, Remember WENN is a stylish and funny tribute to a lost era. One I was not privileged to actually experience, but that I have become very fond of, via old films on cable television.The 1930s- and, in WENN's case, specifically the radio industry of the day. With wonderfully crafted, and beautifully acted characters set against the backdrop of a small radio station in Pittsburgh, Remember WENN is poised to bring back memories for those who were there, and serve as a doorway to the past for those who were not.Remember WENN is a blend of comedy and drama that can't be beat for a savory taste of the long-gone days of radio.Canceled, by AMC after five seasons, and with several unresolved cliffhangers left hanging, WENN is one show ripe for a reunion movie; maybe even a theatrical venture.And a video, or DVD release would not be a bad idea. Then all of this wonderful show's adoring fans could fondly Remember WENN...
... View MoreI miss this show terribly! It is still my favorite show of all time. No matter how many other shows I start watching they never beat it. I started watching it in high school at about the age 15 and joined the list online and made wonderful friends through my interest. Most of them I still talk to today.I liked how it was not just a drama or a comedy but it was a dramedy. Being a historian and WWII buff especially this show intrigued me from the beginning. Plus we got to see some great stars of the past before they passed away. The great acting done by all the cast brought it to life and made it more real then a television show.This show was never about dirty comedy or about who's all sleeping with who like many of the comedies on today. It is clean good fun that anyone of any age can enjoy. We never did learn that answer to the one supposedly dirty joke about the queen of hearts and the elephant or something like that.
