It's back! The TV series Remember WENN ran on AMC for four seasons starting in 1996 and then vanished. A mostly-gentle comedy, it follows the career of a plucky young woman from Elkhart, Indiana who arrives at a radio station in Pittsburgh in the late 1930s to work as a radio scriptwriter. The sets and costumes are first rate, the dialog is period-snappy, and while the technology isn't one hundred percent consistent, it's generally so close you'll never notice. (I will, especially using carbon and ribbon mics together in the studios, but here's the thing: they're all real microphones, and it's not that far off.)
It's on AMC and another streaming channel now. I watched the first episode again tonight. It's just as charming as I remember.
