Pan Am: The Complete Series



Sadly, there was only season 1
ABC pulled the plug on this show and I can understand why but more on this later. The basic plot of this series was following the lives of one of the flight crews of the airline based out of NYC. Everyone is still young (well under 35) and it is a time in America when the first president born in the 20th century is in the White House in the early 1960s. The show touches on race relations, women's liberation, and more abstract topics such as finding your identity in the world during your youth. However, this is all done in a very entertaining way and ultimately romance and political themes are more of what each show is based on.

Everything about the show from the plots, sets, costume, music, etc. is just outstanding. There is usually something viewers will identify with in each show so I would say go for it if you have not seen it. The cast had an incredible chemistry together so it's a loss to see them part ways.

ABC canceled the show after only one season...

A wonderful nostalgic series based on the glory days of Pan Am when stewardesses were sky goddesses
Having been an international flight attendant in the seventies I truly enjoyed this wonderful , nostalgic series portraying the golden days of flying in the year 1963. For those passengers who are disenchanted by the state of flying now, this series takes you back to this "Golden Age" when flying was a very special event. Pan Am was a "first class" airline that went around the world twice a day. Stewardesses were well educated and had to be fluent in at least one foreign language.
The story centers around six major characters. The young and handsome pilot , Dean and his first officer, Ted. The stewardesses are Colette, Kate, Laura and purser, Maggie.Laura and Kate are sisters. Kate has become a courier for the CIA, working with an agent with MI-5. She has taken the place of Brigitte, an ex-purser with Pan Am and the former lover of the Captain's.her sister , Laura becomes enamored with Ted, the copilot. Meanwhile Ted becomes engaged with Amanda. maggie is a free spirit who is...

Great TV Show...Episodes are out of order however
I watched this show as it aired on ABC and after it was cancelled on itunes. I bought the DVDs because I wanted to be able to watch the show if I didn't have access the internet or as my husband is using the computer. Its an amazing show and it makes you dream of a time when traveling was an amazing thing. The costumes are great, the sets are amazing and the characters are wonderful. I was extremely disappointed when ABC cancelled it. I would have loved to see more seasons. If you loved the show you will love the DVD but be warned, the episodes are out of order. I listed them in order so people can see how they are suppose to watch them. Enjoy the show and I hope my review helps everyone out there.
