DuelingShows with {{NBC}}'s ''Series/ThePlayboyClub'' and both attempting to capture the success of ''Series/MadMen'' for primetime broadcast television. Neither attempt worked, though ''Pam Am'' barely "won" the duel by lasting a whole season before being quietly canceled. But it introduced audiences outside Australia to Creator/MargotRobbie (those who hadn't seen her on ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'', anyway), so something good came out of it.
