EP4 And If I Die Before I Sleep Jul 10, 1998

Can WENN beat radio station WTN in Philadelphia's record by staying on the air nonstop for three days? And with no sleep? You can certainly bet they're going to try! Witness the breakdown of coherent speech, the ability to sleep sideways on a stool, the genius of ping pong balls and india ink, and why Eugenia Bremer needs her morning cup of coffee.

EP5 Hilary's Agent Jul 17, 1998

Antony and Cleopatra have found their way to Pittsburgh and Hilary wants the title role! Unfortunately, her agent Wilbur (although he calls himself Brian), has neglected to see to Hilary's best interests in securing the part for her. So she decides to take matters into her own hands. Enter the creation of Doris Snithing (Snively). Will Hilary manage to not only get back to Broadway but get herself a spectacular new agent? Or will her sudden case of multiple personalities backfire?

EP6 Birth of a Station Jul 24, 1998

Proof once again that if you're waitressing in a roadhouse, never fall for the man who delivers oranges and grapefruits. When Pittsburgh is shut down due to a strike, the WENN crew gets a real emergency on their hands with a woman arriving to see Dr. Talbot. Which would be great except that Dr. Talbot is a character on one of their shows and Cora is about to have a baby. Will the ambulance get there on time? Or will all of Pittsburgh share in welcoming a new little miracle?

EP7 The Follies Of WENN Jul 31, 1998

As if the Winthrop brothers haven't had enough of WENN. Luke Winthrop pleads his case before Betty and Scott that his school is in dire need of one thousand dollars or it will be forced to close. What to do? Put on a burlesque show, of course. Maple, Eugenia, and Betty get their own solo numbers, Hilary gets to hold an audience in the palm of her hand...or glove, and Scott and Jeff do a comedy routine. Unfortunately, all this is taking place while certain residents of the Barbican Hotel for Women (Betty and Maple) are under scrutiny and if they're caught, they might lose their rooms. The surprise twist at the end is worth being raided for.

Reviews

lovewenn I 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.
dreamer_boy I imagine that I am of a minority within my age group (early 20s) to say that I find this show to be one of the best ever broadcast. I was truly sorry to see it taken off the air, and the television scene is all the more desolate for WENN's absence. The characters created on the show were timeless and loveable; the writing, while not always stellar, was more often than not witty and enjoyable, without having to resort to the lowest common denominator that the vast majority of today's television does. The episode in which Molly Ringwold guest-starred as blind, love-struck "Angela from Avalon" will always remain one of my favorite television moments.I have been a huge fan of Rupert Holmes' work since "Hi Honey I'm Home!" and am happy to see that a person who shares my interests in 20th-century entertainment and culture is working to share those interests with audiences. I only wish that there were more of an audience for his great work, because it deserves to be celebrated.
yenlo While AMC is a fine cable channel they should stay out of the sitcom or weekly series business and just stick to showing films. I would always groan when an episode of this unbearable series of theirs came on (generally between feature films). Nothing was humorous about it and the characters and stories were like something out of a high school play. AMC is clearly obsessed with the past and some of their other various features are interesting but this one was as exciting as dead air on the radio.
Voni I miss this show. Sadly, I also missed a large portion of the series' final run due to awkward scheduling. But what I remember about it can still bring a smile to my face. I won't even try to name all the things I liked about the show. I loved the way Mr. Foley's every attempt to speak was invariably thwarted by someone who had something ever-so-important to say right at that moment. Then there was the teddy bear-like Mackie Bloom, always a welcome sight. And it never hurt to see the pretty face of Betty Roberts, either. Her sweetness, among other delights in this show, makes me long for a more innocent time and place. Wow, how profound! So sue me (in the modern tradition).A Halloween episode, for me, stands out as an absolutely hilarious example of what made me look forward to dropping in on these quirky old-time radio players on a regular basis. Mr. Foley, by the way, was the station's sound-effects provider. Ever heard of Foley artists in film and television? Coincidence? I think not!So, did Mr. Foley ever get his chance to actually verbalise a thought or opinion? I hope to find out someday.
