I think I would love to have seen one more season of Remember WENN, a comedy about life in a struggling 1940's radio station (call letters W-E-N-N) when it was less about music than it was about serials, adventure shows and soap operas. The series had an ensemble cast of mainly professional stage actors who did amazing work in creating what life was like on the other side of the radio. It was written by Rupert Holmes, the Pina Coloda song guy, who also wrote the music for the show. The show had a vivid look and more sight gags than you could imagine.
Sadly, when AMC changed management, the new idiots-in-charge decided to scrap the Emmy-winning show after its fourth season in 1998, leaving us fans with an unresolved cliffhanger about who the innocent, overworked staff writer Betty Roberts was going to pick for romance: the tall, deep-voiced former station manager Victor Comstock or the smooth-talking replacement station manager Scott Sherwood.
I keep waiting for the DVD box sets to be released someday.
