...you watched it and weren't satisfied? It's not about being bad though...it's how everyone else is affected by swinging. In the pilot, there were several other plots going on having to do with the kids...and they weren't swinging or doing anything bad. You've got to see the pilot before you make up your mind...or as someone on TV.com said, once you've seen the 3rd episode, the show starts molding into its own kind of show. I think it's great and the Deckers aren't as 2D as I thought...they actually have heads and feelings. Well, I know Trina does.

No...as in with the show itself... I was just kidding anyway...isn't one of the characters CEO of a movie studio or something?

yep

it's a rip off sex and city

I just finished watching the second episode and so far I think it´s pretty interesting! Mainly because it´s about relationships and how this new sexual lifestyle affects the lifes of these families. I wasn´t even born at that time and for me it´s fascinating to watch the value/moral struggle, let´s see how they keep up the story.

I just realized this show has been added, and I think I'm going to start watching it tonight! I read the plot and I think its the most out of all the new 5 shows added that really appeals to my taste

I finished watching the 4 episodes that are up and I can only recommend it!

great! then i'll begin watching it when i get home today
Author: Teachergirl    Time: 7-2-2008 03:11

I'm not too sure about this one. All the 70s stuff......... Being born in 76 means I don't remember all that much of it and it is weird. To me, almost like a sci-fi show.

Really give it a try! You can even take the quiz while watching to make it more fun! it is really worth it. The 70´s theme remains in the background really, the moral struggle is the main thing here.

I watched one it I am suprised it was on global I never heard of it when I had cable.

with only 4 episodes on it I would guess the show got cancelled.
Author: alexgirl    Time: 7-2-2008 09:25     Subject: Reply 15#15 minnieholly's post

actually its a brand new show and its first season is airing now. so you can keep on watching without any fear because there are 13 episodes to be produced for this first season (hoping it gets picked up later) and they´ve already filmed 4 more of them. The season will end in the middle of august and then we will know if it will come back or not.

So will the website update more episodes.

Probably, I am not a moderator, but I would guess so. Usually once they put a show up on the site they update it as new episodes air. This show aires in the US always on Thursdays at 22h, so you could expect it to be up the next few days following that.

Great because I am really liking this show, makes you wonder how people reacted with the whole sexual revolution and now it's a big life style.
Author: redsoxpatriot30    Time: 7-2-2008 15:03     Subject: Reply #19 minnieholly's post

I love this show! But what makes people love it so much is that it can do the whole sex thing without going overboard and show how these relationships affect other people...it makes me want to live in the '70s with all the cool music they had back then...and it also shows 3-D characters... However, the only character I haven't seen fully develop is Trina's husband... Almost everybody else is a real human being. Check out the quiz and you can earn points on a show that's still free!
Author: minnieholly    Time: 7-2-2008 15:47

Just completed the quiz.  yea the show has a real prespective. its like it expanded that one episode of that 70s show. when kitty picked a key and said this isn't mine.

we cannot grantee when episodes will be updated but the people behind this site will do there best
Author: Teachergirl    Time: 7-3-2008 02:27     Subject: Reply 14#14 alexgirl's post

Ok, I took the quiz and you were right, it is not THAT 70s. I think I will check out the other episodes too!
Author: bala    Time: 7-3-2008 11:11

ok i watched this against my better judgement and you right there some intrest character development with the kids but the adults it just seem too easy i mean it was kind of too fast within first episode new couple did it-i was hoping 2-3 episode for that happen.

i consider swinging cheating -that the problem it create all sort problems just look at the wife of best friend husband fancies the wife of next-door husband. i really should learn the name can't be asked

It was alright it wasn't as bad as i first thought
Author: shinny    Time: 7-5-2008 17:35

I've watched all the episodes now and really didn't think I would like it, but I did. It kinda reminds me a little of big love, not because of the setting or anything, but because it's another taboo type subject. Yeh, definitely has lots of potential, especially the underlying stories.

Ok, does anyone think that Susan and Roger were together or something years ago before they all got married? Or maybe they had an affair? There is definitely something going on there !

Bala, it's only considered cheating when one person is not aware of what the other one is doing. If both are aware and consent to it, then it's not cheating.

Ok, your right but i just think it's wrong-what moral and ethics.

Yep, but that's your personal feelings on it. I actually agree with you. I believe that if you are with one person, then that should be enough !! But, I know there are people out there that need more than one person in their lives and if that works for both of them, then who are we to judge that?

Love has many different facades and I guess an open minded person would live and let live.

    correction on swingtown and lipstick jungle they are not comedys as listed , they are

        contrary to your belief  they are dramas with a slight edge to surrealistic humor.

Author: bala    Time: 7-25-2008 02:41     Subject: Episode 6 & 7

Trina runs into her old high school sweetheart that was interesting to see Tom jealous but than in next episode the tables have turned so i can understand why Trina was jealous when he didn't get her permission.

Melinda is an interesting character and i can see some chemistry with her mentor.i can't believe Tom would take her up on her offer. . you can tell he took her up on her offer because he said he needed a shower when he got home

Roger and Susan seem to get too close for comfort

i'm slowly likening the show


Episode 8-WOW that best ever episode so much action

I really like this show, the characters are well developed and the story and writing is great.  I don't understand why this show is under comedy though it feels more like a drama.  Anyone else agree?  I hope the show does well, I would like it to continue.

I've had this show on the two watch list for some time.

Overall, predicatable to its core beyond belief.  Hit the fast forward button through the daughter and her teacher pedo crap.

My favorite character was Janet - loved her.
