    Should have been given a better chance

    The show had a few faults but not enough to warrant a cancellation after only 7 episodes, NBC never really gave it a chance to last. If the show had debuted on AMC, FX, HBO or any cable network it would have been allowed a better chance to build an audience. But nowadays networks assume that if you don't instantly have a 10% share of its time slot right off the bat that it's a failure and there's no point in even going on with the show. Which is a ridiculous way of trying to build and cultivate new shows for a channel.

    The show had very beautiful ladies in the roles as the playmates, most notably Amber Heard who's drop dead gorgeous. With her appearance in The Rum Diary with Johnny Depp she should have a bright future ahead of her.

    Refreshing Show

    A refreshing show who's plot is not in a courtroom, law enforcement's building, hospital, or on a reality stage (like we don't have enough of those already). Great story lines, a cast that is not over-rated, and refreshing new faces.

    Emphasizing the historical aspect of the show - being the first playboy club in the nation in Chicago - the story lines tackle homosexual ideologies, racial inequalities, criminal underlying in businesses and government, and the social divide that existed in the 60's, and in many cases still exist today!

    I have seen many of the new pilots this year, and non compare to the Playboy Club.

    Better than expected !

    When I started watching The Playboy Club I wasn't very hopeful... I was expecting a dodgy half baked drama with girls running around topless... I found the pilot plot Interesting, maybe a tad cliché, but it is a pilot after all! You can't expect miracles.

    Admittedly the dialogue was a little rough and amateurish but it feels like it's heading in some interesting directions and will get better over time. Strangely the secondary story line between Alice and her husband seems far more interesting to me.

    As for the comparisons to Mad Men I don't think they are in any way fair. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

    Personally, I think it's much more interesting than half of the television shows some channels are pumping out.

    Definitely worth watching for the first few episodes to see where it goes.

    Perfect ..

    When I saw the trailer a couple of weeks before the premiere, I didn't really know what to expect, the first thing that came to my mind was "Oh, girls in bunny costumes, and they're all HOT.. I got to watch this!"

    After I saw the first three episodes, I was like WOW, the story is AWESOME, nice drama with great music. I love it.

    I think that this is a great TV show that portrays the 60's in a very nice way, true or not, it's very nice. If you compare the two TV shows this season that Talk about the 60's - Pan Am and The Playboy Club - they are both perfect, different point of views, but very interesting to watch.

    And hey, what's better then beautiful girls in bunny costumes!!

    I LOVED The Playboy Club

    I'm really upset that this show was cancelled. What do we have to do to get it back on the air? - I don't care where, just get it back on the air. What did I love about The Playboy Club? - The plot was great, - there was great music, - I loved the intrigue - I loved the nostalgia - I thought the depiction of Chicago in the early '60's was really good - I believed that the show had a great storyline - I believed that the show had enormous potential - I believed the show had great acting

    Is there another network or cable provider that could pick this show up and continue to run with it? I think NBC made a huge mistake by dropping this show.
