Irrespective of what I think of the merits of this show (which isn't much), this Meghan Trainor tripe playing in the promo has absolutely nothing in any way whatsoever to do with it. It is, rather, a lame attempt by ABC to capitalize on the mindless state of those who would associate a "popular" song with a hot new TV show. Not a new practice, to be sure. I just can't stand hearing this pop sh*t in every stinking commercial now even when it has nothing to do with what's being peddled.

Agree. As for the show, looks like a sexy and hip retrospective of the late 50s/early 60s. Worked for PanAm. Cancelled! ABC is just rolling out the exact same thing. Same thing with NBC's The Playboy Cub. The 60s are over. 18-34 year olds aren't going to watch and that's who ad people target. I see lots of Buick commercials being featured on this show.

Looks like they bought the set from "Mad Men." Unfortunately the busty redhead wasn't included.
