Didn't read th...PAN AM and ONCE UPON A TIME. <br /><br />Didn't read the breakdowns for PAN AM but given it is set in 1963, (their attachment to the Bay of Pigs in the pilot) and the Kennedy assassination taking place later that year, so too with the deaths of all aboard Flight 214 (Clipper Tradewind) ... I'm expecting great things from this show. I'm already really impressed with the production value and art direction.<br /><br />ONCE UPON A TIME looks just as great. Like ENCHANTED with amnesia. Reminds me a little of Jim Henson's JACK AND THE BEANSTALK from 10 years ago. The nostalgia should play nicely in this one.<br /><br />As far as SCANDAL goes,... it will be trumped by PERSON OF INTEREST. I'd rather watch Jesus command vigilante justice riding the conspiracy theory wave than watch someone-average-I-could-care-less-about prevent embarrassing moments for the Oval Office.<br /><br />Then again, I rather enjoyed ABC's EASTWICK, which was cancelled. It had been one of my favorite shows on ABC to date. So this year, keep in mind my opinion, when it comes to TV show longevity, must be taken with a grain of salt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978715818371029793.post-79900493432207075432011-06-21T06:54:33.052-07:002011-06-21T06:54:33.052-07:00Thanks for the review of Charlie's Angels.

When I watched the pilot, I said to myself I am so glad I don't read scripts because I didn't see that twist cominga and wouldn't have wanted it spoiled. If I was reading your reviews I guess I might be expecting spoilers but as someone that loved the twist of Scandal I would be annoyed if I read it in print before. I mean this and say this with much respect and I had already seen the pilot so it didn't ruin anything for me. You might disagree, Just a thought.Craignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978715818371029793.post-10343549804733620052011-06-16T11:57:36.098-07:002011-06-16T11:57:36.098-07:00I actually liked Pan Am and Once Upon a Time.

I didn't love them, and wouldn't be surprised if I dump either or both of them after two or three episodes this fall, but I thought as pilots go, they weren't bad. <br /><br />I still have The River, Scandal and Poe to watch, but didn't get any other ABC dramas yet.Another Whinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18250866870606652584noreply@blogger.com
