awesome unwatched show
I am so upset that I just read they were cancelling this show. It seems as though every good show they put out there gets cancelled but the crap ones get picked back up. I adore the relationships that are being created on this show, whether it's f...

Show will likely go off the air
Bummer, because this is one fantastic show. Definitely check it out if you haven't already. The attention to 70's style and paraphernalia is impeccable. Also, great plot lines with few relinquishments to the cheese-ball faux drama that typicall...

Did anybody watch last night's show? I think the last 2 episodes have revived a dying drama.
I tuned into Swingtown the first time because I couldn't find anything else to watch. I wasn't very impressed because I thought it was cliched. I watched the second episode and it didn't change my opinion. Last week's cabin episode was more fun a...

Yes! Some Summer excitement
I for one think this is a sexy show. It will bring about some welcome change from all the summer reality shows. I grew up in the 70s and I enjoy seeing the clothes and hearing the music. Wonder if my parents did any of this stuff?

Wiki
Plot
"SWINGTOWN, from the director of "Big Love" and "Rome," peeks into the shag-carpeted suburban homes of the 1970s to find couples reveling in the sexual and social revolution that introduced open marriages, women's liberation and challenged many conventional wisdoms. During this heady era of provocative change, Susan and Bruce Miller move their family to an affluent Chicago suburb in search of a different sense of community, and they look forward to barbecues and get-togethers with their new neighbors, as well as a change of pace for their teenage daughter and pre-teen son. Enter Tom and Trina Decker, a striking, outgoing couple on the hunt who redefine the term "neighborhood watch." After a mind-blowing evening with them, Susan and Bruce realize that couples in this town share much more than recipes, local gossip and a view of Lake Michigan, and are worlds apart from their former conservative neighbors, Janet and Roger Thompson. Susan's loyal friend Janet is appalled by what she witnesses in this new neighborhood, while Roger, though dutiful to his wife, may be more intrigued than she knows. In a changing social climate - defined by its music, fashion and style - everyone in SWINGTOWN is confronted with personal choices, experimentation and shifting attitudes."
