    (Television Without Pity) — Now that the general television audience has had a chance to see the fall season's two "Mad Men" wannabes, NBC's "The Playboy Club" and ABC's "Pan Am," it's time to pit these shows against each other, "Celebrity Deathmatch" style. Can Hef's Bunnies stomp Pan Am's blue-suited fly girls? Read on.

    Most Glamorous Cast
    The early '60s air game was all about glamour, and the fresh-faced, perfectly styled guys and gals serving aboard the "Pan Am" signature Clipper Majestic aircraft exude more glam than David Bowie. Don't get us wrong: Shapely employees of "The Playboy Club" are plenty attractive, but they don't resemble "Pan Am's" pearly-toothed gods and goddesses.
    Winner: "Pan Am"

    Let's just say that those Bunny outfits are iconic for a reason.

  • Executive producer Steven Spielberg returns to "Jurassic Park" territory with "Terra Nova," a time-traveling adventure. In the future, pollution renders Earth uninhabitable, so citizens use a rip in the space-time continuum to travel back in time 85 million years, to the age of dinosaurs. The new society they establish looks as idyllic as Pandora in "Avatar," but watch out: These dinosaurs aren't exactly the cute-and-cuddly Dino type.

    In this exclusive first look clip, Skye (Allison Miller) convinces newbie Josh (Landon Liboiron) to sneak beyond the perimeter of "Terra Nova" with her and her friends. Things become seriously wrong when the teens find themselves stuck in dangerous territory with dinosaurs out for blood. Will they escape unscathed? Check out the preview below to find out:

  • There's never a shortage of dramas on TV, and this fall is no exception. From campy soaps and cop procedurals to fairy-tale imaginings and sci-fi action adventures, there's a drama for everyone.

    Getting on an airplane these days ranks somewhere between a root canal and a tax audit on the list of life's least enjoyable experiences. But ABC's sleek retro drama "Pan Am" transports us back to a time when airline travel was not a chore, but a privilege -- when the sky truly was the limit. That nostalgic sense of wonder, along with gorgeous cinematography, a promising subplot full of Cold War intrigue, and a dash of mile-high romance, makes "Pan Am" a smooth flight indeed.

    Set in the late-Camelot year of 1963, "Pan Am" follows a group of the airline's beautiful stewardesses (the "It" girls of the era) as they jet around the globe, catering to passengers' every whim while (literally) broadening their own horizons. Sure, they had to submit to demeaning weigh-ins and girdle checks to earn their wings. But as star Christina Ricci notes, being a Pan Am stewardess "allowed these women to have a freedom that they weren't really given at that time. They were able to see the world and to be

  • When Season 1 of HBO's critically acclaimed "Boardwalk Empire" came to a close, liquor kingpin Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) and his cronies had narrowly survived a close Election Day. But behind his back, members of Thompson's inner circle — including his own brother — were plotting against the corrupt Atlantic City treasurer.

    When Season 2 picks up on Sunday night at 9pm, the conspiracy deepens, as you'll see in this exclusive clip obtained by Yahoo! TV:

    What do you think will happen to Nucky this season? Are you excited for "Boardwalk's" return?

  • John Goodman lays down the law at Greendale this seasonJohn Goodman lays down the law at Greendale this season (Colleen Hayes/NBC)Attention, Greendale students: School is officially back in session. NBC's supremely silly and surreal college comedy "Community" returns for Season 3 this week -- but with all the new cast members and fresh plot developments on tap this year, you might need a campus guide to show you around. That's where we come in. We recently sat down with the "Community" cast to get the inside scoop on what's coming up, and we're back with a final report on the five things to watch for this season.

    John Goodman rules the school
    Step aside, Dean Pelton: There's a new dean in town. "Roseanne" star John Goodman returns to his TV comedy roots as Vice Dean Laybourne, the imposing head of Greendale's highly touted air conditioning repair annex. Star Joel McHale (Jeff) says we find out this season that the A/C annex "is the most profitable part of the school, so they have all the power." Look for an epic battle of wills between Laybourne and the school's wet-noodle administrator, Dean Pelton (Jim Rash).

  • 'The Sing-Off' is hitting all the right notes (Lewis Jacobs/NBC)'The Sing-Off' is hitting all the right notes (Lewis Jacobs/NBC)(Television Without Pity) — This singing competition has been quietly airing during December for the last two years, spotlighting a capella groups and airing only a handful of episodes. But while "The Sing-Off" doesn't get as much attention as "American Idol," "America's Got Talent," or the forthcoming "X Factor," it really is one of the best vocal-adrenaline-filled shows on television. If you haven't been watching, this season is already off to a great start -- and here's why it's worth checking out:

    Excellent Singing
    The majority of these folks are quite talented and can do things with their voices that you don't hear on most shows of this nature. They push their limits, usually have a working knowledge of music theory, and know how to modulate their voices for percussion, bass, or even delicate melodies. And they all just seem really pleased to be there and competing. We're not entirely sure if they give these people some happy juice backstage, but the show exudes a positive vibe

  • The cast of "Revenge"

    Fall TV is in full swing, but one new series wants to keep summer going a little bit longer. Set in the sun-soaked Hamptons where New York's rich and fabulous come out to play, ABC's "Revenge" recalls glitzy primetime soaps like "Dynasty" with its beautiful cast and picturesque setting. But this isn't just mindless escapism: A mysterious newcomer infiltrates this exclusive society, intent on exposing all of their sordid secrets and making them pay for their past misdeeds.

    Emily VanCamp ("Everwood," "Brothers and Sisters") stars as Emily Thorne, the new girl in town who quickly finds a place for herself inside the Hamptons social elite. But she has a secret: The same people she's befriending are the ones who destroyed her father's life, and once she wins them over, she's determined to exact vengeance by taking them out, one by one.

    With her innocent face and reputation for goody-two-shoes roles, VanCamp certainly makes for an unlikely antihero. "Yeah, I'm going to really disappoint my
