Fall TV premieres might seem a world away at this point, but
that doesn't stop the networks from teasing us a little early. One candidate that sounds interesting is ABC's new drama,
Pan Am, aiming to evoke a 1960's
Mad Men-at-30,000-feet vibe (you know that's got to have been the pitch). Back in the day, Pan Am was of course
the epitome of international jet set cool.
Pan Am stars Christina Ricci as a stewardess.
Pan Am was written by Jack Orman, who's worked on
JAG, ER and
Men of a Certain Age. The pilot's directed by
West Wing veteran Thomas Schlamme, a real TV pro. A package with some promise - Ricci is way underrated - here's hoping the folks involved give us compelling characters and do justice to this fascinating era.
