Is anyone going to be sampling the new CBS series Swingtown tonight @ 10PM ET?

Quote:

After moving to an upscale lakeside Chicago suburb in July of 1976, Susan and Bruce Miller must confront temptation in the form of their provocative new neighbors, Tom and Trina Decker, while not abandoning their old friends Janet and Roger Thompson. As the adult couples evaluate whether to embrace or avoid newfound personal freedoms, the curious Miller and Thompson children begin to discover and assert their own morality and sexual identities as they come of age in a world on the precipice of change.

I watched the first 5 minutes. I have too much stuff to do (dang laundry just does not go away on its own) so I'm not bothering with getting into a new show.

Awwwwwwww Come On Kathleen. This Actually Looks Decent.

I guess you'll just have to fill me in.

Maybe I'll tune in next time.

I recorded it (Basketball was on) but I'll probably watch it over the weekend.

Has anyone been watching this? I let four episodes build up and then I was bored last night and gave it a shot. I am through the first three. Definitely watchable, although not spectacular. Quite off the page for a CBS series with drug use, lots of unconventional sex, weird underage sexual overtones and did I mention lots of sex?

I get the feeling that the clichés will wear thin in short order. There is only so much you can do with the swinger premise before it loses its luster. Still, they are attempting to tell broader story of the mid 70's and maybe with time they will be able to connect on those other issues.

I'm still watching...
