Frequently Asked Questions about Remember WENN
and How to Save Remember WENN

What exactly is Remember WENN?

Remember WENN is a TV show on American Movie Classics. Currently, the entire series is being repeated on Friday afternoons at 3:30 pm EST.   This is a difficult time slot for many people to catch, so use your VCR timers!! Remember WENN has been CANCELLED!! If you want to help save this FANTASTIC series, follow this link.

Remember WENN follows the adventures of a struggling Pittsburgh radio station (W-E-N-N) during the early 1940s before the U.S. became involved in World War II. The show focuses around the experiences of Betty Roberts, the station writer. There are also many other fantastic characters too numerous to detail here.

Remember WENN is an excellent show, in comparison with TV on nowadays. It doesn't have any sex, swearing or violence. It can be enjoyed by people of many ages - the Remember WENN newsgroup has members ranging in age from thirteen to sixty - and you can watch it with your parents or children without worrying about explaining things. The show is an excellent look at the 1940s and is 99.9% accurate in portraying the era. Remember WENN is nostalgic without being sickly sweet.

Well, at one time I would suggest that you order the videos, but it seems that you are out of luck for now. AMC has discontinued the sale of their Remember WENN videos. However, you could write to them and demand the videos. Their address is:

American Movie Classics
Crossways Park West
Woodbury, NY 11797

You can find episode synopses online at various sites. The best one is Linda's Remember WENN Page. If that isn't enough for you, write to AMC requesting a Remember WENN marathon. Their address is:

American Movie Classics
150 Crossways Park West
Woodbury, NY 11797

Rumor has it that AMC may be repeating many of the episodes in the upcoming months. However, if you cannot wait that long, try asking on the Wennlist or alt.tv.remember-wenn. Usually someone will dub tapes for you.
