Pan Am is coming back.
March 4, 2011 on 1:00 am | In Trivia | 3 CommentsWell, in a way it is. The Pan Am name is already in the process of becoming airline again as I posted HERE back in November. However, what I’m talking about today is a television show.
A pilot episode of a new TV show based on Pan American Airlines has been ordered by ABC. The concept around the show is the romantic glory years of jet travel for Pan Am: the 1960’s. Executive producer Nancy Hult Ganis worked as a fligth attendant herself starting in 1968 after walking past a Pan Am office in Detroit.
This is the kind of show that would thrill airline enthusiasts if done right. However, I firmly believe that this kind of show doesn’t have the kind of audience that ABC can view as a success. This is a show better done by one of the cable TV channels a la Mad Men.
But we can always hope that I’m wrong and it does succeed.
