A much needed spark in today's crime drama-based television
If I could understand the illiteracy of the user comment '70's drama with no excitement', I'd take my rebuttal, but seeing as how it's hard to even understand, I'll leave that one alone. This show is great. If you ever watched Boogie Nights, Dazed and Confused, and felt the pure excitement and giddiness that comes with hearing Captain and Tenille, this show is for you. And, when I say 'feel' pure excitement, I mean it. The sexual tension is off the charts for cable, and it keeps you wanting more...and more. Two thumbs up. The cast is spectacular. Tom is SO HOT, and Janet - well, as a woman you realize how NOT to behave. Keep 'em coming.
Quite Entertaining & Fun
I watched this with my wife and we really loved the fresh and exciting feel of the show. I enjoyed the many characters with the specific characterized needs each has. Certainly from a male perspective it has a formula that made me want more (and more). I enjoyed the party scenes and all the 70's references. The kids bring a very interesting twist in storyline. The adventure aspect for the new neighbors has me wondering what is lingering around the corner for them. And the across the street neighbors made me wish I lived on their block. It's made the PVR list with high priority. Going to tell my "friends" about this show. Keep up the good work!
Entertaining before during and after!
We have caught the first two episodes of this show and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The characters are entertaining and we were drawn to several of them immediately. One of the other posters seems to be offended as they state this is not a fair portrayal of what went on in this neighbourhood in the 70's???????? This type of behaviour goes on in every neighbourhood around the world and who cares what consenting adults do anyways....
I will keep watching the show and hope that it is renewed for future seasons.

i LOVE it!
I love the show "Swingtown"! being born in 1962 I remember much of the 70's. I grew up in a strict Catholic household, I was not exposed to much in the outside world so this show is a joy to see! I enjoy seeing all the 1970's decor, the grocery store scene, clothes and the cars. What fun it is to see many items which I remember seeing in homes where I babysat that are similar on this show; the same glassware, furniture and decor.
I am hoping the BEST this show lasts a long time! Besides I LOVE Molly Parker and hope to meet her someday! I loved her in "The Wicker man". I look forward to each episode! Thank you

Having lived in St. Louis, MO during the 1970's
I can state unequivocally that swinging did take place in the Midwest, contrary to what the people from Chicago are saying. My husband and I weren't swingers but we were approached by swingers and one of the hot spots for swinging was the Lake of the Ozarks. I find this show a refreshing change to the norm which is always going to cause controversy. I'm sure the network is receiving some public pressure to remove the show but as long as they stay out of the religious area, the show might stand a chance to survive for a while. And as an added bonus, they have managed to find some cute clothes from an era which seemed to be dominated by hideous fashion.
