Technically it's not officially cancelled yet. ABC keeps saying it's still in contention for a spot next season. Yeah right.

Judging by last week's numbers, yeah it's done after episode 14. I think once people saw that this only got picked up for 1 additional episode as opposed to the back 9, they stopped watching and assumed it was pointless to continue. I'll watch until the end.

Well, after last night's episode I think I'm alright with this show being cancelled as they officially jumped the shark. That stewie just happily prances out of a KGB locked-down hotel, merrily calls on a local CIA spy (whose every move is being monitored), and then has her pilot friend send a few cartons of cigarettes to a politburo member to defuse a tense international cold-war incident. Wow. I remember the cold war (yeah, I'm that old) and these situations could easily lead to worldwide nuclear war. Believe me, they were not defused by bribing a politburo member with a few cartons of cigarettes.

Too bad because I think this show had a good premise. But I thought/hoped it would be more historically accurate. In addition, the acting is mediocre at best (especially the lady who plays the CIA spy -- good lord she's awful) with the glaring exception of the French stewie who I think has a very bright future.

Probably one of my least favorite Pan Am episodes.

The whole thing with Bridget and Laura being arrested for espionage was bullshit. -ohbfrank- the ending with Kate seeking out the big wig at the Kremlin and then blackmailing the captain to help get their release was so contrived.

:lol: at Ted's fiancee kissing Maggie. That was so forced.

:thumbsup: Karine Vanasse is just awesome. I enjoyed all of Colette's scenes even talking to douche bag Dean. She has a really bright future ahead whether she does film or TV again.

Sorry to hear it's most likely canned. I've loved every episode including this past one. Fun show, more so than Desperate Housewives that precedes it.
