Is it just me or was Grant Show, made for the 70s?

He's obviously got a crush on his best friend, and wanted to do a little swinging of his own. He got beat up, because the girl he told everyone he'd shagged (which he was lying about), found out about it, and beat the crap outta the little punk. |

^ I'd like to see some stats on that too, sandpuppy.I estimate it's less than 1% of the women here in the US have regular Bikini or Brazilian waxes. Cost about $50-$100 per wax professionally. So, I like to know how many people can affort that on a regular basis. |

I found the whole pilot working the same route and being "promoted" to the Tokyo route laughable.
Do the writers do one ounce of research? |

This show is boring as hell. I am trying so hard to stay awake through this episode and it's not working. I was looking forward to this series too. :-(
Though I see Dana the lesbian is on the show as that lawyer bitch. |

I found the whole pilot working the same route and being "promoted" to the Tokyo route laughable.What's so laughable? I'd think the airline execs would find thier best pilots to pioneer a new service route. Even today, promoting a problem out of the way still happens, albeit not in the airline industry perhaps. Plus, in the 70's, I think they had the same pilots working roughly the same general geographic areas, or at least American did with its South American stranglehold. First time catching this series, which I find overall laughable, but good laughable. Were people in the midwest truly that bored back then? Dayum I wish Hef made Playboy clubs be around today. If Hooters can get away with it, why not? I don't know why, but I think these people are compelling. It's got a Desperate Housewives season 1 vibe to it. |

Airlines are seniority based.
Pilots bid on schedules based on seniority. You can be the best pilot around, but if you don't have seniority, you fly the crap schedule no one else wants. Its been that way since there were airlines. It was just a poorly written plot device to overgeneralize and sensationalize chauvanism in the 70's |

Janet is enough to keep me watching. Plus, I need SOMETHING to watch until Mad Men comes back.

Damnit, missed this episode.
But Piranhaha seriously, Playboy clubs would be >>>>>>>> Hooters clubs and that is insane that they never made a Playboy restaurant/strip club before. They would make billions! Get some former playmates serving the drinks or on the pole and that would be solid gold baby. |

I'm watching with interest because 1976 was the year I got married (at 21). I'm watching for the clothes, the decor, the lifestyles, everything.
I don't think it was too unrealistic for Molly Parker's character to decide to accept a quaalude on the spur of the moment. I say that because my mother, who was 42 in '76, admitted to me (much later) that she and my dad were on vacation at a resort and they were in a hotel suite having drinks with several couples, when someone pulled out a joint and my parents decided to give it a try. Surprised the heck out of me. I'm pretty sure they were never swingers, though. (And they're both dead, so if it happened, I'll never have to find out!) The characters on the show are right in between the ages my parents and I were at the time. My husband and I both smoked pot way back when, but we didn't do other stuff (ok, I tried 1/2 a quaalude once). Anyway, I'll keep watching for at least a few more episodes. See how many memories are jarred loose from the memory bank. |
