Swingtown - This ain't your mother's CBS

I was reading a review in the NY Times today about a new summer time show coming to CBS.  It is called Swingtown and I was originally attracted to it because it is a look back at the mid 70's.  That was the age of my adolescence, so it naturally attracted me.  Well this show is about the mid-70's OK, but the wilder side. It is set in a suburb of Chicago and is about wife swapping, partying and other hedonistic activity that is supposed to sum up the era.  And on CBS yet!  That's right, the folks who give us 60 Minutes, Murder She Wrote and Touched by an Angel, now bring us the swingers of the 70's. 

I grew up in a suburb in the 70's and while I do remember our parents hanging out drinking Harvey Wallbangers and some of them getting divorced, I don't think they were the type to pass around Quaaludes and engage in orgies, like depicted in this show.  But hey, maybe I am just naive. This certainly sounds more like an HBO series to me, but I have to admit I will watch and see it what it is about. Just the 70's clothes and hairstyles should be entertaining for me.

If you like this trailer, here is a link to a longer video showing more highlights. Let me warn you that this one is a bit racy!
