More Fall Shows - Veda Rains


As we get closer to the Fall Season, Obscura Operandi has excitedly been sharing with you news on new shows! I've got a few more to add to the list from ABC. Get excited:
Suburgatory
Click HERE to see the trailer!
In the tradition of fast-talking "know what's good for 'em" smart teens (think Juno), comes 16-year-old Tessa (the delightful Jane Levy), a New York City transplant to where else? The 'Burbs.
The show looks genuinely funny and hopefully teens and adults alike will give it the time of day.
Synopsis:
Single father George (Jeremy Sisto-you know him best as Elton from Clueless) only wants the best for his 16-year-old daughter, Tessa. So when he finds a box of condoms on her nightstand, he moves them out of their apartment in New York City to a house in the suburbs. But all Tessa sees is the horror of over-manicured lawns and plastic Franken-moms. Being in the 'burbs can be hell, but it also may just bring Tessa and George closer than they've ever been.
Cheryl Hines also stars (as one of the "Franken-moms") as well as Alan Tudyk (I know aperson or two on here who will be happy to see him on TV).

Good Christian Belles
Click HERE for the trailer!
Fans of gossipy/backstabbing "Christian" women with an agenda might find a new guilty pleasure in Good Christian Belles. Another "transplant" story of sorts: Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb), once the ultimate high school "mean girl," is forced to return home in disgrace after her marriage ends in scandal. There's plenty of talented women filling out this cast. Former Pushing Daisies star and (current fan favorite) Glee guest star Kristin Chenoweth plays one of the women possibly planning revenge on Amanda while Annie Potts steps into the role of Gigi Stopper.
The series is based of the books: Good Christian Bitches by Kim Gatlin. I haven't read the books, but I'm rooting for Kristin and the "belles"!

Pan Am
Click HERE for the trailer!
Hitching a ride on the Mad Men express, Pan Am follows the fabulous lives of employees of Pan Am during the 1960s. As the tagline suggests: Passion, jealousy and espionage... They do it all – and they do it at 30,000 feet. The style of the 1960s, the energy and excitement of the Jet Age and a drama full of sexy entanglements deliciously mesh in this thrilling and highly-original new series. How will it measure up to Men? Or The Playboy Club (another 1960s-set show centering on the Bunnies and patrons of the original Playboy Club in 1960's Chicago)? We'll have to wait til September 25th to find out. One thing's for certain, the opening of the trailer gives it an original spin and I'm excited to see Christina Ricci on TV!
