Oh, squee, I wasn’t aware that you guys liked TAR! (The Amazing Race… not the cigarette ingredient) That is the only show I make a point of watching.
Thank you for all the reviews.
I checked out PanAm before listening to this one and it did have a bit of something. The beginning is just all glee and merry wonderment. Ah, and it has Christina Ricci (who is, strangely, a bit plastic in the pilot) and Karine Vanasse (as a French woman!). It’s a bit of a line-up of the type of women you may have encountered in the 60s and an expression of how the past was so much more swell than the present.
I really found your comments on Family Guy and American Dad quite interesting (until you got all excited and ended up sounding a bit like the people you were berating). I actually find it’s the other way around for me. If there is one cartoon character that I do not like, it is Peter Griffin. To me, he’s just an idiot and a jerk for idiocy and jerk chicken’s sake. At least Stan has a reason to argue with his daughter, even if they are both just straw men (straw people?)…
I knew I recognised that French stewardess from somewhere! Thanks! I’m a bit ambivalent about Pan Am. On the one hand, it seems genuinely interested in the period unlike, say, The Playboy Club. On the other, as you pointed out, there’s a lot of revisionist history here, especially in regards to attitudes toward women.
I’ll have you know, though, that we at The Dreamersedge try hard to always sound like bigger jerks than the people we oppose. Those comedy bits never come off the way I hope, but berate?!
Oh, and I got the Rick profile on The Walking Dead test.

Hey, my pleasure! I agree. I haven’t decided yet whether I like it or not. I think there may be too many main characters; they just aren’t fleshed out enough yet to be quite likeable. I’m not sure what they are trying to say anymore, if anything. I do like the music, though!
And yes, sir, berate! That was oddly both long and vehement. Surprisingly emotional. Surprising as in much more so that any other time you have tried to sound like jerks. Hmm, perhaps you were just trying too much? Or is the new Facebook so bad that it would made you raise your voice so? (Yes, yes it is…)

You’re more than welcome, Bronie.

Ah, interesting. I got “father figure” Dale.
