Fall TV’s New Dramas: Watch Exclusive Interviews

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. And for those with a serious case of nostalgia, there's the period drama "Pan Am," featuring big-screen actress Christina Ricci. The show, set in the 1960s, follows the lives of pilots and stewardesses aboard the iconic airline during air travel's most glamorous days. See what the cast of "Pan Am," and other stars from this fall's dramas, had to say about their new series in these exclusive interviews:

    Kinda like Forgettable. But sure wish she'd lose that over-the-counter ugly red hair job. She looked so much better blonde in "Without A Trace". Looking forward to viewing Grimm kinda looks interesting.I'm just waiting on Bones,rest my favorites already on.Also love new one "Prime Suspect".Worth tuning in to watch.

    MORE REDHEADS! Poppy Montgomery is filling the bill but where is Alicia Witt & Amy Davidson when you need them? Alicia with a sidearm (law and order) - DAY-UM!

      I agree wholeheartedly! The drivel that has been on Network TV is driving people to sleep and away from local TV stations massively! The shows all seem to be geared to 8th grade idiots or lower mentalities.......
    • FatherGoose 8 months ago
      Well said, Patty! I'm not much of a TV watcher except for news,sports and public television. And the drivel you mentioned is typical of the nonsense we're bombarded with by the networks. But we have to remember that if there weren't the millions of morons who like that stuff, the major networks wouldn't air them. It's all about the sponsors and the mindless market they can reach.

    about time someone came up with something other than the reality garbage that has been killing the airwaves for the last number of years.... someone finally got there creative mind to work now get rid of survivor...dancing with no one cares...x-factor...american wanna be idoles....and so on and so on and son .............

    I looked at the list of shows and thought. "Wow most of those look awful." ...then I thought "Hey at least it's not another 'Housewives Of..." or 'Teen Mom' or 'Jersey Shore' or any other TERRIBLE show of the like"
    • Ben V 8 months ago
      So...I guess they win for the fact that they don't suck THAT bad...
    • Ilysse 8 months ago
      I agree. I'm so sick of so-called 'reality' shows.

    As a child my very first flight was on a Pan-Am airplane. I remember the pretty stewardesses with big, laquered hair in their short dresses and pill box hats.

    It could be worse, Reality TV.
    • MCL85 8 months ago
      It's not that reality TV is really bad, it's the quality of it is what had gotten worse. Look at the the history of the Real World. It went downhill from the 5th season on. Now it is just filled with the pretty good looking and shallow "who gives a f@^%s".
    • Deb Asset Pending 8 months ago
      We choose to differ, it is all bad. Too cheap to get real actors, so they use quasi actors. Too cheap to hire writers, they form a huddle like sandlot football and plan the episode. Too cheap to have a plot, they go with the twitter returns. The talent programs are like bad karaoke. If I wanted that, I could go to a road house and hoist a few. I want to be entertained, not listen to work gossip. I can get work gossip at.....work.

    I tutor after school and into the evenings. With this garbage available for people to watch, thereby scrambling their brains, there will be no shortage of work for me. Kids have trouble reading, can't stay on task more than five minutes because that's about how long they have to be still between commercials on "children's television." At least I can count on having enough tutoring money to supplement my retirement for as long as I have a brain. (Which will be longer than for the mushbrains who sit in front of that misspent resource we call television. Please, someone tell me how we got to this point? "Reality" television, puhleeze!! Retro programming? Better come up with a better schtick. And the decline of the sitcom continues. As does the decline of good taste.
    • cYpHeR 8 months ago
      Yep almost as bad as people spending their time posting on boards about how stupid the human race is. Pot....Kettle........nah
    • Phyl 8 months ago
      Childrens programming is all commercials! Reality shows ain't! Or they are degrading! They fired all the GOOD writers years ago! They SAY they are aiming at the 18-45 demographic - HAH! The 12-20 is more like it! 3 min of show and 3 min of commercials give you plenty of time to do anything else!
      TCM !

      Cartoon Network is evil.
  • bardinlove  •  8 months ago
    Thank god that the networks are finally convinced that we are tired of reality TV... Even a poor scripted show has GOT to be better!
  • black fox  •  8 months ago
    at least none of them are "NEW " ''REALITY "" shows ,so over those
  • Coyote  •  8 months ago
    Anything is better than reality tv and talent competition shows....and why are we still tortured with infomercials on normal networks?
  • Bear  •  8 months ago
    My wife and I can't watch network TV anymore. We watch movies, DVD's, cable shows, and reality shows such as baseball, football, and hockey. TV is too fomula...like you've seen it all before only better. But we're open to something new and different if it comes along.

      Have you tried watching yourselves in the bathroom mirror wearing 3D glasses?!
  • masterd  •  8 months ago
    Oh ANYTHING but Jersey shore !!!!LOL
  • Net  •  8 months ago
    Cancel your cable or dish subscription. Turn off the tv and start making your own drama.
  • Dee  •  8 months ago
    I think I'll watch Pan Am at least once. I want to reminisce about the large comfy seats and the leg-room.
  • Chef John Paul  •  8 months ago
    One station put out a 60's style program that work what's that Mad Men now it's the formula for disaster for the playboy club and a failed airline Pan Am. Welcome back to the age of jive.
  • John  •  8 months ago
    How long has this "lets just do a re-make or steal somebody else's idea" TV network management philosophy been going on for now? too long I say. TV is so bad these days. It's all targeted at the brain dead or youth market and sometimes both!
  • Cisco  •  8 months ago
    I hope they don't try to put a PC spin on the show, PM AM is the 60s. I like the way Seinfeld handled the race issue - were appropriate. Everyone may know a black person, but most don't pal around with them.

    Throw out your TV set, get a membership at your local library, borrow a book or two and - start reading. You will learn some new words you do not know and you will learn to spell and properly use the ones you think you do know. You will clear your mind of the junk ALL TV channels force feed you and slowly, with time, you will eventually start to think with your own head, for a change. When you do need current information or news go online and look for it yourself, cross reference it from different sources and you can be positive that it is really the closest you can get to the truth. Be your own programmer of entertainment and realize that entertainment does not have to come from the TV, be your own editor of information and you will learn to critically distance yourself from anything presented to you as fact, on the air or off, and form YOUR OWN opinion. Imagine that! You will be amazed when after a while a completely different world view begins to emerge and it will feel something like the effect of the red pill from "Matrix". And you will begin to wonder whenever you catch a glimpse of that radiation that comes from a TV set: "How it was possible that I was part of the Yahoo comment board mindlessness once? That I was posting those spastic, toxic, illiterate comments and passionately replying to same, rooting for one of the false choices they presented as the ONLY choices - cultural, social, political...? Was it all coming from the opinions I was forming based on what I saw on TV? Or were those MY opinions after all?" And from time to time play yourself a song by the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - "Television, the drug of the nation" paying special attention to the lyrics (which now you will have the capacity to fully comprehend).

    Interesting that they're going to have a new drama series that celebrates a time when it was perfectly legal to hire only young, trim and pretty females and discriminate against the older, heftier and less attractive women, not to mention that back then there were no stewards, only stewardesses. I wouldn't have thought that the liberal crowd in Hollywood would put up with something like that unless, of course, it makes money...
