Remember 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.
