This show was not given a chance

Thank you, exactly, because of those factors, it did not really stand a chance and that was too bad, as it was a great show, the characters, etc, it was cool to see that time period, I would have liked to see these characters evolve a little more.

Exactly, it was a great timepiece that should have been given more of a chance than it was, and a better time slot, they could have gone so many different places with this show, rather than cancel it, just when it was starting to get good.

US tv is brutal, this series just did not take off and got canned. My wife enjoyed it and she was left disappointed.

Its that man again!!

I had never thought about it that way, but I can understand what you are saying, the same time period, etc. except it was centered around airline stewardesses. And people expected to see an exact replica of Mad Men. And you were exactly right about "The Playboy Club", it was a great show, and was getting even better when the powers that be decided to pull it off the air, and these shows were just as good, but like you said in their haste to attract these viewers, they must of jumped ahead of themselves and realized they did not have the budget, etc.

Exactly Duchess. I watched the 3 episodes of the Playboy Club, and it was warming up nicely, then NBC pulled the plug. It's all about making money fast, with formulaic crap. No wonder cable and satellite channels have made such inroads. Goodbye the former Big 3 networks, you suck, and you won't be missed.

I couldn't agree more, ABC didn't give this show the chance it deserved, granted it was expensive to make I think it deserved another season like NBC did for Smash. ABC gave it lousy time slot and tried to market it to Mad Men fans when it's a completely different show. I thought it was a refreshing change of pace compared to all those CSI, Law and Order, and crappy reality shows. This show had pretty likeable characters and I liked how the show romanticized the past. I will say some of the writng was really sloppy but I think it did get better in time and the show had some real character development. I think part of the problem with networks today is they expect shows to be a hit and have an audience right away. Looking at the past some of the most beloved TV shows weren't overnight hits, it takes time to build a show and an audience. I think TV networks don't have the patience like they used and this is affecting TV and the quality of shows greatly. It seems networks and advetisers just don't have that patience like they used to.

YES!!! Exactly!! it would have been a great fit and they could have even done a few crossover episodes
