Is 'The Playboy Club' or 'Pan Am' More Accurate?
At the heart of NBC's 'The Playboy Club' and ABC's 'Pan Am' are trailblazing women. These two new fall shows are based on real-life happenings of the 1960s and have some very vocal critics and it's looking like women who lived through the period are happier with 'Pan Am.'Over at Vanity Fair, former Chicago Playboy bunny Marilyn Miller wasn't shy in sharing her disdain for the new NBC series.
"I'm so disappointed," Miller said. "They did a wonderful job re-creating the club physically, but everything else..."
Miller said the show is filled with inaccuracies. The bunnies never danced with or dated customers, nor were there mobsters and politicians.
"I didn't like the whole show. I thought it was cheap, it was degrading, it was demoralizing. It makes the Bunnies seem silly," she said. "Not one Bunny I know liked the show. Everyone is hoping it gets canceled."
Miller's wish may come true! The show debuted to 5 million viewers, but dropped to 4 million viewers for its second episode Monday night.
Meanwhile, ABC's 'Pan Am' not only delighted TV critics and viewers, but former stewardesses are singing its praises. AOL TV showed the first episode to six former Pan Am stewardesses -- they prefer to be called than instead of flight attendants -- and it was met with rave reviews. While there were some inaccuracies with hair length and uniform colors, the women said they were pleased with the show as a whole.
