Writer's Block: Your Favorite Series: One Last Go Round

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.

I would pick either Wonderfalls or Serenity to have another season. I miss those shows, and their cancellations should never have happened.

Firefly because it was a good show with good acting and I don't think enough people saw it or gave it a chance. That or Six Feet Under, although the last season sort of made it impossible for it to come back with the same impact it had before. The finale of the show was outstanding in my opinion.

i LOVED remember WENN! I am glad to hear that others remember that series. I love the actors on that show and the overall feel was great.

Its odd to know that I'm not the only person who remembers and watched the Remember W.E.N.N. show... I missed it when they shuffled and took it off the air.

I would have liked to see Fox give Firefly a second season. Despite their mismanagement and shuffling it around, the series was picking up and getting better as time went on.

Dead Like Me deserved better than what Showtime did to it. They did, however, film a two hour movie last summer to wrap up some of the series' questions but now its been delayed until next summer.

This past season, I would have loved to see Journeyman finish its season out, and get to a second season.
