The New Pan Am show

It looks like it might be good. It kind of reminds me of the movie starring Leonard Dicaprio, where he pretended he was a pilot. I usually try and watch the new shows once or twice to see if I like them. The only one I have no interest at all in is the one about the Playboy Club. I have On Demand and watch a lot of shows on there. There aren't as many commercials and you can fast forward on most of them. The only problem is I don't know which of the new shows will be available on there. I try to watch them and then see if they are featured and I can watch the ones I like any time.

I watched it and liked it so far. Back when I was in the Army during Vietnam(I never went over there) around 1969 and 1970, the general public treated the guys in uniform quite badly. But when I flew, mainly on American and never on Pan Am, the stewardesses were always very nice to the guys in uniform. I would fly home on military standby which often meant long waits to get on a flight, eight hours one time, and the couch section was always packed. The stewardesses would sometimes ask if a guy(I never was on a flight with a woman in uniform) in uniform wanted to move up to first class if there were a lot of empty seats there. I had this happen to me twice and one time it was on a late night flight and one of the stewardesses came and knelt in the aisle next to my seat and talked to me whenever she had the chance which was a lot since almost everyone else on the plane was asleep. I have few good memories of being in the Army but the kindness of the stewardesses will always be something I will remember.

I am undecided. The commercials remind me of that movie - Catch Me if You Can - but I know the show is nothing like that movie. I have so many shows I'm DVRing this season that I can hardly keep up, but I think I will throw this on the list and give it a chance. I didn't know that about the stewardesses having to be a certain height and weight, now I'm more interested to see what this show is like :)
