"Pan Am" shows off glamour of the Jet Age
"Pan Am" glamorizes the '60s and airline travel - no one is taking off their shoes or removing their laptops here - and will surely continue to show off exotic places and pilot-stewardess relations as the show continues. (www.cbsnews.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
see my comment above Michael. It is just a tv show with a retro airline theme. Think about it more as a tribute to Pan Am instead of something historically accurat which it is not.
JT I guess I'm just tired of the dumbing down of America.
That would be the main reason I have disconnected from mainstream cable tv. I still keep my locals and have access to international channels but I no longer have to sit through Ancient Aliens, Ice road truckers, shows glorifying violence and gangs and the biggest cancer which are reality tv shows. Pan Am is not even close to being on the same level as the other pond scum we have to sit through.
How can I see this video? Help!...
You can watch the first two that have aired on this link

I wasn't prepared to hear so much criticism over a "TV" show. What ever happened to just enjoying the show for what it is? How would the ratings have been if they got Ed Grimly as the captain? Think about it folks! It was created to be an escape back to times when people actually dressed up to travel and flying was an adventure. Don't be so critical...really its just television. Either enjoy it or turn the channel and watch something else. I'm sure history channel has a marathon of ice road farmers or the greedy pawn shop idiots if you prefer slime. I actually enjoyed the show and thought it was well acted and details inside the plane were impressive.
It is not a show about the 60s it is also full of politically correct messages from the the now. If one wants to see woman in there underwear there are plenty of shows to do that. To use the great Pan Am name for this totally misguided show is a total rewrite of history. I mean you might as well say that dinosaurs flew the aircraft some people will believe it. I hope it is a true crash and burn program.
Now a well done program about Pan Am would be great, it’s connection to Charles Lindbergh and the pioneering work that Trippe and Lindberg did in developing the South American route structure let alone the intrigue of the Pacific Flying boats and all the Island stops, I guess I will have to wait for Masterpiece Theater to do something of substance.
