3 Reasons that Everyone Should Love ABC's Pan Am


Coming in on the heels of Mad Men’s success, ABC’s Pan Am has captivated audiences across the globe on Sunday nights.  The creators got it right with this new period drama.  And why has a show about one Pan Am flight crew set in the tumultuous 1960’s in American History kept people coming back every Sunday night when they could be watching  Emmy winning Julianna Margulies in The Good Wife or Sunday’s NFL ticket?  

1    1.)    With the amazing success of Mad Men, it only makes sense that we would love another great period drama.  Each week, the crew of Pan Am fall into major historical events that happened in a period of major changes in the World.  They have been to JFK’s speech in Berlin, and witnessed the beginning of the space race.
2    2.)    Christina Ricci - Some may not agree but who didn’t tune in the first couple of weeks just to see what this movie star brought to the small screen every week?  Besides, who doesn’t love Casper, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, and Now & Then?
3    3.)    Lastly, put 4 flight attendants, and 2 pilots all in close quarters day after day while jet setting the world and you are strapped in for some serious drama.  Plus throw in a Stewardess/ CIA Spy and you have even more storylines to explore.

ABC gave Pan Am a full season pickup so I can’t wait see what other shenanigans this crew gets into.
