THE PLAYBOY CLUB

If you're going to ripoff MAD MEN you'd better make a superior version of it in order to hold our interest.  NBC's effort here falls well short.

Eddie Cibrian does a nice Sam Hamm impersonation.  Amber Heard is miscast as the ingenue.   Laura Benanti is a poor man's Christina Hendricks.

The whole subplot about the aging bunny becoming den mother is boring.  The relationship between Eddie Cibrian and Amber Heard lacks chemistry.  The plot about the dead mob boss is a waste. 

The show is stillborn.  Look for a quick cancellation here.
