TV Report Card: Week of September 25, 2011

Week 2 of the Fall TV Season is in the books, and while some shows had a better outing this time around, some did not. This was the week that was going to dictate which shows I give more time to, and which ones get ousted from the rotation, and I have the feeling that I'm going to be watching less TV this year:

Sunday
Pan Am: "Pilot"

The second of this year's Mad Men "rip-offs" debuted last Sunday, and all I can really say about is Pan Am was better than The Playboy Club. I went into this season intrigued by both Pan Am and The Playboy Club because for some reason the 60's seemed like a glamorous time, but both shows didn't sell me on the myth. The concept of Pan Am, stewardesses being a symbol of feminism, could be an interesting take on the genre, but none of the main characters really popped to me, and the extra elements like espionage and sex may not be enough to keep me around. I don't know if I'll watch Pan Am live, but I might add a Hulu subscription and catch-up when nothing else is on.
