Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
Starting next week Sunday nights are packed, but I am intrigued by this.

The "powers that be" in Utah have decided that we can't watch The Playboy Club...but we can watch this! I think I'll give it a spin, sounds interesting.

Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
Nope, pass. One 60's era drama is enough for me.
However I'm sure everyone involved shit a huge brick once they saw how The Playboy Club performed. |
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
I'm giving it a shot but Sunday night is packed for me. I don't know when I'll get a chance to actually watch it.
Damn I hate working,things were so much easier TV wise when I was unemployed. |
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
The Playboy Club had generally poor advance reviews and next to no help from its lead-in (The Sing-Off).
Pam Am has been rather heavily promoted and has a slew of positive reviews (TV Guide, EW etc.). Having the final season of DH as a lead-in won't hurt either. As far as the pilot goes, I'm sure ratings will be fine. I'll watch. |
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
Enjoyed it enough to try another week to see where it goes since the episode was mainly backstories; however, was not really into the espionage.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
I liked it. The Spy twist was unexpected but welcomed.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
Good start. I feel like ABC told them to tack on that final scene just so they'd have something to show in the promos, but other than that I hope they do a good job of mixing the glamor of the era with the darker side. Still has a good shot to be Mad Men-lite.

Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
This is probably my favorite show of this fairly weak new season.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
The Bay of Pigs thing should have been an entire episode, not a 5 minute flashback sequence.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
I get that they are trying to recreate an era but they went way overboard on the big grin cheesy smiling; especially between the pilot and co-pilot. :lol:
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
Sunday has become way too crowded, but after the pilot, I am hooked. Looking forward to the show developing that espionage angle.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
I thought this was a blast. Loved all the colors, costumes and style of it all. Great casting (cute chicks! :up:). Hopefully, this will be some breezy, soapy fun.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
I thought it was pretty solid but now that I'm in love with Laura I think I'm hooked.
I think the espionage angle will be the eye roller of the week so I hope they keep that to a minimum. |
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
Light, breezy - I enjoyed it. I welcome more shows like this instead of crime/medical dramas.
Did Christina Ricci get a haircut on the way to the airport? In the opening scene, her hair was all long and wild and by the time she got on the plane she had a short pageboy style. :lol: |
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
I enjoyed it as well. Probably the best of the new premieres I've seen thus far (isn't saying much). I'll continue to tune in.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
So was it sanitized nostalgia where you don't see any cigarettes/smoking? I figure it being a broadcast net show, the network probably put the kibosh on smoking. From the promos I saw, it certainly had the costuming and fashion down.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
^ Pretty much.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
No smoking that I recall. They're probably saving it for when they introduce more "sinister" characters.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
I think I recall someone was either smoking or going to light up so the stewardess threw down an ashtray.

Scary briefcase guy was smoking.
|
Re: Pan Am -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 9/25/11
Did a quick scan through the ep.
MI6 guy, twice(plane & hotel room); one guy in chair in living room at wedding; another guy on plane reading menu; in recruiting, spy guy #1 offers cigarettes to stew spy. There may be more, but thus far, all were just holding a cigarette in hand. Didn't see anyone actually puff. This may be their m.o. with dealing with smoking. |
