ABC Cancels GCB, Pan Am, The River and Missing(5/12/12) ABC's Pan Am has finally been officially grounded.On the heels of ordering nine new series Friday, the Alphabet officially canceled the high-flying 1960s soap after pulling it off the schedule in February after airing only 14 episodes. In addition to axing Pan Am, ABC also canceled freshman series GCB, The River and Missing, according to TVLine.com. GCB, starring Leslie Bibb and Kristin Chenoweth, was touted as the heir to the Desperate Housewives throne, but was only able to attract an average of 5.9 million viewers and a 1.9 in the adults 18-to-49 demographic. Likewise, serialized dramas The River, a horror thriller produced by Paranormal Activity's Oren Peli, and Missing, starring Ashley Judd as an ex-CIA agent searching for her son, pulled in weak audiences of 4.7 million viewers and 7.9 million viewers, respectively and were among ABC's lowest-rated dramas. 'Pan Am': Does the show have a cable future?(5/11/12) Could it be that the crew of "Pan Am" will fly again?Deadline is reporting that the period drama, which will more than likely not be renewed by ABC, may have a future on cable. The show, which stars Christina Ricci, Margot Robbie and Michael Mosley, is much more popular in Europe than it ever was in the U.S. It is this that may lead Sony TV, the program's producer, to look for alternate venues for the series. As a sign of further popularity overseas, on Thursday (May 10) "Pan Am" was named "Best Series" at the Rose d'Or TV awards, Europe's equivalent of the Emmys. It beat out British programs "Martina Cole's the Runaway" and "The Jury." Would you be interested in seeing "Pan Am" return? Or should the show stay grounded? Ashley Greene Recalls Her Worst Hair Mishaps(4/19/12) Sure she looks gorgeous on a daily basis now, but Ashley Greene (Amanda, Pan Am) didn’t always know how to best take care of her skin and hair.“I think the biggest mistake I ever made was when one of my friends was like, ‘You should just iron your hair with an iron,’” she tells Stylelist. Needless to say, “It was not good at all. It was just stick-straight. I was probably around 14 when I did that; I did a lot of dumb things at 14.” She’s also moved past over-dying — “My hair’s been every color under the sun,” she admits — and over-scrunching, too. “I used entirely too much hair gel,” she says. “It was highly flammable, extremely crunchy. I feel like you could break it. It was not a good look for me.” These days, though, the Twilight star is feeling more comfortable in her own skin, and encouraging others to find that confidence, too. “I don’t know that I’ve ever met someone who hasn’t had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she shares. But “I understand that a lot of things aren’t the end of the world. There were certain things I was very insecure about, but I’m constantly going out there trying to make girls feel like they are special, and I think it rubs off on me.” So what is the starlet most looking forward to these days? Strangely enough, her answer is aging. “My mom said she loved her 30s, she was most comfortable in her 30s,” the actress explains. “So I’m looking forward to that. A lot of it’s you live, you learn, you grow.” Report: ABC Close to Renewing Grey's, Revenge, Once, Castle and More(3/23/12) ABC is close to renewing nine shows for next season, TVLine reports.According to the site, the shortlist includes Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, Castle, Happy Endings, The Middle, and freshmen hits Once Upon a Time, Revenge, Suburgatory and Last Man Standing. ABC is also still negotiating with original Grey's cast members Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers, Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson, whose contracts are up this year. A rep for the network could not confirm the report. The fates of Cougar Town, Private Practice, GCB and Missing have yet to be determined, the site says. Private Practice's future may depend on how well Shonda Rhimes' upcoming show, Scandal, performs in Practice's timeslot. The show premieres Thursday, April 5 at 10/9c. On the flip side, Body of Proof, Pan Am and The River, which aired its finale this week, are unlikely to return. As previously reported, The River could possibly continue on Netflix. 'Pan Am' Actress Cast in ABC Pilot 'Scruples'(3/2/12) Pan Am’s Karinne Vanasse has a new role at ABC.The actress has been tapped to guest star as an designer named Valentine in the drama pilot Scruples, with an option to become a regular if the show based on the best-selling 1978 book goes to series. Scruples, which centers on a rich and powerful clothes designer in a world of sex, revenge and scandal, hails from Flame Ventures in association with Warner Bros. TV. Bob Brush and Mel Harris will pen the pilot as well as executive produce alongside Tony Krantz, Annette Savitch and Natalie Portman. Michael Sucsy is on board to direct the pilot. The news comes as Pan Am has seen its ratings nosedive on ABC. In fact, it was Vanasse, who plays a French flight attendant in the heavily hyped airline drama, who caused a stir about the show's status when she prematurely tweeted: "Well, we received THE call, #PanAm is only coming back for one more episode after Christmas. But up to the end, we'll give it our all!" Although the series has not been canceled, the likelihood of a second season is grim. Still, Vanasse’s Scruples casting is in second position to her role on Pan Am. Vanasse is repped by WME.
'Pan Am's' Karine Vanasse Among Latest Broadcast Pilots Additions(3/2/12) Pan Am co-star Karine Vanasse is set to co-star in a new ABC drama project. The Quebec-born actress has been cast in the drama pilot Scruples. Executive produced by Tony Krantz and Natalie Portman, the project is based on the novel by Judith Krantz and centers on rich and powerful clothing designer Billy Winthrop in a world of sex, revenge and scandal. Vanasse will play Valentine, a talented aspiring fashion designer who recently arrived in New York from Paris. The casting is in second position to Pan Am, which is not expected to return next season. Michael Sucsy (The Vow) is directing Scruples from a script by Bob Brush. Warner Bros. TV is producing. Vanasse is the second Pan Am cast member to book a pilot in second position this season, along with male lead Mike Vogel who would star in the Fox comedy Living Loaded.Pilot Season: Ashley Greene Joins ABC's Americana(2/29/12) Ashley Greene has won a starring role on Americana.The ABC soap is set around the family business of iconic fashion designer Robert Soulter, played by Anthony LaPaglia. Greene will play Alice Clarke, a young designer who joins the design label. Already cast on the project are Emilie de Ravin, who will play Soutler's daughter, and Brothers & Sisters alum Ken Olin. Greene, most famous for her role in the Twilight film franchise, recently recurred on ABC's Pan Am. 'Pan Am': What Season 2, if there is one, might look like(2/20/12) The season (and more than likely series) finale of "Pan Am" aired on Sunday (Feb. 19). It offered some pretty good twists and turns as the group enjoyed the waning hours of 1963.But if Sunday's show was its last, fans of the program are no doubt wondering what might have happened to their favorite flight crew down the road. That's where we come in. Having watched every episode of the period drama and a decent amount of TV in general, we at Zap2it have come up with some ideas as to what the future would have held for "Pan Am." Tell us what you think... Laura and Ted: Ted (Michael Mosley) decided to call off his wedding with Amanda (Ashley Greene) and instead profess his love for Laura (Margot Robbie). This message was sealed with a kiss and then another kiss. So everything looked to be going great for the two. But like in any TV show, there's always a wrinkle. This takes the form of Amanda announcing that she's pregnant. In Season 2 of "Pan Am," we suspect that Ted will quickly break this news to Laura, and the two will have to go their separate ways. At some point next season, Amanda will have a miscarriage. This, combined with their pretty much loveless relationship, will cause Ted to break up with Amanda. He will then attempt to get back together with Laura. But by then, the blond beauty will have found someone new. Dean and Colette: In the finale, Dean (Mike Vogel) vowed he would help Colette *(Karine Vanasse) find her long-lost brother. While he'll attempt to make good on the effort, it won't be easy. Dean sees it as more of a way to get close to the woman he loves, often times to the detriment of the objective. Colette, on the other hand, is singularly focused on finding her brother and learning more about her own history. The more she learns, the more troubled she becomes. This proves to be the undoing of their relationship...at least for now. Maggie: Drawn in by the fun of quick riches, she continues her smuggling operation. But all good things must come to an end and she gets nailed at U.S. Customs. With her back against the wall, Maggie (Christina Ricci) strikes a deal to work as a snitch. It is here that she'll work to root out organized crime. Her responsibilities grow and, before you know it, she's essentially a female version of Donnie Brasco. Will her undercover ways ever cross paths with Kate? Kate: The CIA trainee decides to take a momentary leave from Pan Am while she goes to Langley to become a full-on operative. By the end of her training, she's a crack shot, fluent in four languages and an expert in counter-intelligence. The majority of her efforts will focus on East Germany. Kate (Kelli Garner) will also be called upon to help explore Eastern Block organized crime operations with ties to the U.S. So what would you like to see happen if there is a Season 2 of "Pan Am." Fast national ratings for Sunday, Feb. 19, 2012(2/20/12) CBS posted another solid Sunday evening, bolstered by premiere of the new cycle of "The Amazing Race" and the always strong performances of "The Good Wife" and "CSI: Miami." ABC's "Once Upon a Time" posted impressive numbers, easily winning the 18-49 demo with a 3.0. And the much-hyped 500th episode of "The Simpsons" got a nice little bump, pulling in 5.8 million total viewers.CBS led the evening in total viewership, averaging 10.5 million and a 6.5 rating/10 share in households. ABC (7.3 million, 4.3/7) finished second. NBC came in third with 6.3 million viewers and a 3.7/6, while FOX (4.1 million, 2.3/4) brought up the rear. CBS just barely won the 18-49 demographic with a 2.2 rating. ABC and NBC tied at 2.1 and FOX trailed at 1.9. Sunday hour by hour: 7 p.m. 8 p.m. 9 p.m. 10 p.m. Fast National ratings for Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012(2/13/12) The Grammy Awards scored their biggest audience in almost 30 years on Sunday, drawing a whopping 41.2 million viewers from 8 to 11 p.m. ET/PT. (CBS says the full awards, which ran until 11:30 p.m., drew more than 39 million people.) The show grew by more than 50 percent over last year and scored the second biggest audience since total-viewer counts started being kept in the late 1970s.With that big an audience, CBS obviously dominated Sunday's ratings, and everything else suffered as a result -- although "Once Upon a Time" didn't fare too badly for ABC. CBS delivered 34.5 million viewers and a 19.1 rating/29 share in households in primetime, more than doubling the combined total for the other three networks. ABC was the best of the rest with 6.35 million viewers and a 3.8/6. NBC (5.25 million, 3.3/5) finished third, and FOX (3.55 million, 2.1/3) came in fourth. The Eye also ruled the adults 18-49 demographic with an 11.5 rating. ABC took second with a 1.9, followed by FOX, 1.7, and NBC, 1.5. Sunday hour by hour: 8 p.m. 9 p.m. 10 p.m. Pilot Season: Pan Am's Mike Vogel Signs On to Fox's Living Loaded(2/11/12) Pan Am star Mike Vogel has landed the lead in Fox's comedy pilot Living Loaded, Deadline reports.From It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Rob McElhenney and based on the book of the same name by Dan Dunn, the project follows a hard-partying blogger (Vogel) who is forced to reevaluate his career plan when he gets a new job as a public radio host. McElhenney, Dunn and executive producer Rob Rosell wrote the script. Mike Vogel - SAG Winner(1/30/12) Congratulations to Mike Vogel for his win as part of the cast of "The Help", the winner of oustanding performance by a cast in a motion picture at the 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, California January 29, 2012.Bubbly on ice(1/27/12) There was Olympic-level competition at the Standard Hotel Midwinter Night’s Skate party Wednesday, where guests sipped Veuve Clicquot Champagne before taking to the hotel’s ice rink. Professional skaters Johnny Weir and Sasha Cohen first put on a choreographed performance for guests including Amy Sacco, Monique Pean, Peter Davis, Douglas Hannant, Frederick Anderson and Lorenzo Martone. But then, spies tell us, model Coco Rocha glided with grace across the ice with her mother Juanita, followed by “Pan Am” actress Margot Robbie, who impressed the crowd, performing tricks and twirls on the ice for an hour.Fast national ratings for Sunday, Jan. 22, 2011(1/23/12) The NFC Championship game scored a massive audience for FOX on Sunday, but we'll have to wait and see how many people stuck around for a special "American Idol" afterward: The overtime contest and post-game report pushed "Idol" out of primetime in most of the country.UPDATE 12:30 p.m. ET: FOX says the post-football "Idol" broadcast, which began at 10:57 p.m. ET, drew 19.8 million viewers and a 7.9 rating among adults 18-49. The demo number beat the show's Wednesday and Thursday airings last week. Elsewhere, ABC's lineup was relatively steady with last week, falling by only a small amount against the huge NFL game, while CBS' "Undercover Boss" took a somewhat bigger hit in its second week. FOX's numbers will change some because of its live NFL telecast, but as it stands now the network averaged about 50.1 million viewers and a 26.9 rating/39 share in households Sunday. CBS was the best of the rest in viewers, drawing 7.2 million and a 4.8/7. ABC (6.45 million, 4.0/6) came in third, and NBC (4.6 million, 3.1/4) trailed. FOX scored an 18.7 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, the highest number (by a lot) for any network this season. ABC finished with a 2.0, followed by CBS, 1.6, and NBC, 0.9. Sunday hour by hour: 8 p.m. 9 p.m. 10 p.m. 'Pan Am' sneak peek: Laura's nude pics come back to haunt her(1/20/12) Photography has helped Laura (Margot Robbie) from the beginning on "Pan Am." It was her striking pictures early in the series that landed her on the cover of LIFE magazine. But it appears that her love for being in front of the camera will soon get her in trouble.In an exclusive first look at Sunday's (Jan. 22) episode, those nude photos Laura referred to any number of episodes ago come back to haunt her when they're displayed at an art gallery. While the pictures are quite lovely, Laura never thought they'd go public. So when she sees the entire collection up, Laura delivers the response you'd expect - abject terror. As for other story lines, Colette (Karine Vanasse) looks to get over Dean (Mike Vogel) by befriending a mysterious male passenger. Maggie (Christina Ricci), never one to be shy about her opinions, tells Ted (Michael Mosley) she has concerns about his relationship with Amanda (Ashley Greene). The series airs at 10 p.m. ET. Here's the clip... Video. Fast National ratings for Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012(1/16/12) Ratings for the 2012 Golden Globe Awards were down a little bit from last year, dipping by a couple hundred thousand viewers from the 2011 ceremony. NBC came in second for the night to FOX, which rode a huge audience for the end of its NFL playoff game to victory.The big lead-in gave "The Simpsons" its biggest audience of the season and helped "Napoleon Dynamite" score solid numbers for its premiere -- although the show's second episode later in te night didn't fare quite as well. "Undercover Boss" also opened to decent numbers for CBS. Thanks to the Giants-Packers game carrying into primetime, FOX scored 20.2 million viewers and an 11.1 rating/17 share for the night, beating out NBC (12.3 million, 7.5/1). Numbers for both networks are subject to revision because of their live telecasts. CBS took third for the evening with 9.2 million viewers and a 5.8/9, while ABC (6.7 million, 4.0/6) trailed. FOX also dominated the adults 18-49 demographic with an 8.0 rating. NBC finished second with a 3.6, followed by ABC, 2.1, and CBS, 2.0. Sunday hour by hour: 7 p.m. 8 p.m. 9 p.m. 10 p.m. 'Pan Am' preview: Is Maggie sleeping with the enemy?(1/13/12) As the saying goes, politics makes for strange bedfellows. Or in the cast of Maggie (Christina Ricci) and Congressman Rawlings (Chris Beetem) on "Pan Am," bedfellows make for strange politics.During the Jan. 8 episode of the period drama, the more than opinionated Maggie submitted an anonymous editorial to the Village Voice railing against the representative's hypocrisy. But after a pleasant lunch with Rawlings, Maggie fell for him. Of course there's still the lingering issue of that article. On Sunday's (Jan. 15) show, Rawlings is none too pleased after reading the piece that calls him out on his double standards. He says, "I don't appreciate sources with 'inside knowledge' conspiring with the enemy," not realizing the "enemy" is right in front of him. Maggie is now focused on steering him in any direction that doesn't point toward her. In other "Pan Am" news, Kate (Kelli Garner) tries to help out a couple of stewardesses mistaken for spies. And Dean (Mike Vogel) is chosen for an important flight, but then is replaced at the last minute. This is certain to make him unhappy. Here's an exclusive first-look preview. The episode airs Jan. 15 at 10 p.m. ET. Will Grey's Anatomy, Cougar Town and Pan Am Survive? ABC's Big Boss Tackles Tough Q's(1/11/12) Cougar Town fans, the wait is over. Or wait, no, sorry, it's actually not at all.At today's ABC press tour today, ABC President Paul Lee answered the tough question of when Cougar Town is coming back, and why the comedy Work It (which was bashed by critics and viewers alike) made it on the air instead. Reporters also asked Lee about the fate of dramas Grey's Anatomy and Pan Am... "Well, certainly we don't have any comments about those contracts," Lee says of the Grey's cast negotiations for a season nine. "Grey's came roaring back, it's creatively still at the top of its form. Shonda Rhimes has a vision like nobody else. We've heard her vision for this season and beyond, and I'm feeling really good about the show." As for Cougar Town, which has yet to air new episodes this season, sources tell us Lee had planned to announce a return date during today's press tour, but die-hard fans will have to sit it out a bit longer. "We're not quite ready [to announce a return date]," Lee says. "But you'll be hearing in the next couple weeks...The reality is I think Cougar Town is having some of their best episodes. I think when we launch it we'll bring a big strong message that we love the show. We haven't yet landed where it's going to go. It's tentatively slated for March. It's in there for a good reason." When asked if Cougar Town's delayed return is indicative of a move away from single-camera comedy (in favor of shows like Tim Allen's Last Man Standing), Lee insists, "Quite the opposite. The core of our comedy offering is our Wednesday night, it's something we're extremely proud of...This may be a bit of a dream but it if you look at Happy Endings, Cougar Town and Apartment 23, it'd be great to have a bunch of young irreverent comedies together. That's a little bit of a dream for the future." So what about Pan Am? It may or may not be a dream for the future as well. "When it opened, it really brought a good audience to it," Lee says. "I think there's a lot of goodwill toward the show. It's a great cast. We have new and original shows right through the end of February and it'll be in contention past that. " And how's this for a little tidbit to make you go hmmm, Revenge fans? When asked if it's still a possibility that Revenge may move locations away from the Hamptons, Lee says: "I don't want to give anything away about a show that people are on the edge of their seats for, but yes, it is in the cards." American Horror Story-Revenge crossover next season, anyone? Maybe they can be neighbors in...Tallahassee? Oh, and in the "yeah-duh" category, Dancing With the Stars is totally not getting the boot anytime soon. "Dancing With the Stars has many more years to come. It's all about the casting, and that's how you keep it alive," Lee says.
