Any watchers?I like it so far. There was a lot to follow in this first episode - lots of characters. I was surprised at how rique it is for network TV, now I know why it's on at 10 p.m. Some of it looks predictible, but I'm interested. Tribe is pushing up my daisies!

I am enjoying this show. But I could do without the 'girl in the tent' storyline. That was kind of boring and I just didn't care about it.

I loved it, especially Trina. I thought it was sad when the little girl realized that coked up mama didn't even realize she was gone. Warcrack, it's not for kids.

Janet reminds me of a friend I had back in High School. She was very much like Janet regarding the spoiled only friend issue. Trina is hot, I think. Susan actually reminds me a little of me. I like everything about the show. Do you think Roger is in love with Susan? Do you think Janet and Roger will eventually want to experiment? Warcrack, it's not for kids.

We had Bunco last Thursday, and several of us wanted to get home in time for Swingtown, even though most of us record it on Tivo.One of the Bunco ladies started laughing and told me that I lived closer to Swingtown than I thought. I had heard a few rumblings about this a year or so ago. With some of the women, it makes sense. I think maybe there is one particular street in my neighborhood that could be. Also, another one of the girls said, "my parents used to have big parties like that back in the 70s, but they weren't swingers." We all started laughing. We had no reason to think her parents were swingers, but it certainly made us all think about it. Oh, and I'm not really wild about the Lori character (Bruce & Susan's daughter). And I don't really find her attractive. surfkitten summer sigshop 2008

I am so waiting to hear what Roger meant when he told Janet that he needed more in the coming weeks previews. Does he mean he wants to try the lifestyle? Or that he needs more than just every other Friday? I love how it seems that Janet's character is emerging and growing. Warcrack, it's not for kids.

Hi - first time poster.... 3 year lurker...I just want to say that I am in love with this show. First started watching because I am a huge fan of coupling in the UK and wanted to see more of Jack Davenport. I am really, really loving how this is developing. Everyone thought it was going to be a giant shag fest, but it isnt. Tom and Trina are experiencing problems with their open relationshop - and so are the other 2 couples.... so much wonderful drama I even like the kids storylines - I think that there were plenty of teacher student relationships in the 70's. I remember a teacher who got a girl knocked up - so they took him out of the classroom and made him a vice principal. They married when she turned 18 - it was a differnt world without all the talk of pedophilia. anyway - just wanted to chime in and say hello

LAST EDITED ON 07-21-08 AT 09:07 AM (EST)Can I just say that I love Janet more and more with each passing episode? Her reaction to finding out Roger lost his job was more than he could have asked for. I hope this opens his eyes to how perfect she is for him. I am SO happy nothing happened (sexually) between Roger and Susan. It seems like the tides have turned though and now she's the one with the longing in her eyes. The picture Trina took of the two of them seemed to depict that. Maybe? I love that Trina and Tom are re-evaluating their open relationship. He'd just go around banging people in Tokyo while she sat at home missing him. I hope he remains true to her. I'd hate to see those two being the ones who (predictably) break up. Bruce? Still can't stand him. Lori and the teacher... How old is she supposed to be? If they've mentioned it, I've forgotten. Missed Samatha this episode. eta: Welcome lzbth. another JSlice masterpiece

Absolutely love Janet. Love her. And loved Trina when she mentioned why Janet keeps Roger locked away.I actually sided with Tom on this one. Well kind of. He should have called her, and he should have cleared it with her. But it didn't appear from what we saw that she cleared Luke spending the night with him. I do like them though. Wonder if Bruce did anything. Did he kiss her? Do her? Is the preview for next week just a fantasy? surfkitten summer sigshop 2008

Janet and Trina eating muffins in the kitchen... is there a naughty joke in that?? Janet at the Pendulum club.... LOL when will Janet learn not to go into basements or back rooms?? Tom kissing Janet.. WOO HOOO, wonder if that was a problem for Trina in their now closed marriage, or will she understand that it had to be done?? Poor Roger, didnt know what to do about that woman dancing on him... but did know enough to take his wife home! Lori and the professor sitting behind the bar while her parents got their swing on and smoked some pot... LMAO... uhhh ok, I'm sure she didnt find it amusing at all... but really, they were in no position to discipline now were they... and last but not least, poor honorable BJ - now he knows that his parents are freaks too.

37. "The Stained Dress" |
So I was watching the last episode online when I realized...Roger and Janet left the pendulum club BEFORE Tom and Trina. AND Tom and Trina were hosting a party by the time Roger and Janet got to their house to return the dress. How did Tom and Trina and all the others beat them there? What were Roger and Janet doing on the way that took extra time? Is that how the dress got stained? By pointing out the stain, rather than taking the dress home to wash herself (she is a stain maven after all) was she really saying "Hey look Trina - Roger and I did it in the car!"

*sighs* I absolutely love this show.Loved all of the scenes with Janet and Tom, especially when Janet finally told Tom she was "uncomfortable" with his inuendo. And I absolutely howled during Roger and Trina's converation when explaining that they had closed the marriage for a bit: Trina: "Yep, we're just like you and Janet." Roger: "I doubt that." Every time I see Lori on my screen, I cringe. I just don't like her. I also hope nothing happens with her and Roger. While Bruce deserves it, Janet doesn't. surfkitten summer sigshop 2008

50. "RE: 8/1 Episode" |
Agree.Here is what I was thinking about the whole thing. I don't blame the swinging. I don't agree with the swinging because if you're going to do that, you shouldn't be married in the first place. I find it interesting that Tom and Trina are the happiest couple. They are the ones who suppress nothing and the ones who are open and honest. I know there was that thing with Bobbi, but it worked out because of the relationship. Bruce and Susan and Roger and Janet had problems boiling over underneath the surface, and the swinging simply opened the door. I think I explained this better below.

47. "RE: Swingtown" |
Every episode of this show leaves me with mixed feelings to sort out.I can honestly say that I think Melinda disgusts me, completely. This is where the conflict starts to happen. I think Bruce is disrespectful and sad, but I don't have the disgusted feeling with him as I do with Melinda. Maybe because I am a woman, and I hate seeing women do this to each other. Maybe because Melinda can choose to remove herself from the situation instead of enticing and bringing attention to herself. I am not sure. I do think that both of their actions to this point are deplorable, and not only disrespectful of Susan and Bruces marriage but also disrespectful of the children involved. That brings me to Susan. I think she is battling with her feelings for Roger, and fighting those feelings every step of the way. I said during the first show that I thought Bruce was in love with Susan, by the way he was staring and waving at the car. What I am questioning with Susan, is she holding off because she values her friendship with Janet so much that she doesn't want to jeopardize it or because she wants to stay faithful to her husband. I think it may be both, but I wonder if either bond is enough to keep her from doing something I am sure she will regret in one fashion or another. Which brings me to Tom and Trina. Was that a little bit of disdain that was on Trina's face when she realized what happened the night before. When she first woke up, in bed with the other couple and Tom, I didn't think she looked to pleased and am wondering if she was thinking about their marriage being closed and how she might not have opened it if they had not been drinking. Then there is Janet. I really am enjoying her spreading her wings a little. I am wondering what she will choose to do if Roger decides to take the job in Ohio. Will she go? Will she stay to have a career? Will they stay together? I really like this show and it (for me) poses a lot of lingering questions at the end of almost every episode.

I completely agree with you about Melinda. And Bruce. I did agree with Bruce in the finale last night about Susan being the one who opened the door to their bedroom, and I do wonder how his relationship with Melinda would have progressed had they not already opened that door.Do you mean Roger in Paragraph 2? I don't have Episode 1 anymore. I am conflicted about Susan. I think she and Bruce were very much in love when she got pregnant with Laurie. And I think that they did what they were supposed to do at that time. And I have no doubt that they were in love and that they love eachother now. But I think she is starting to see the world so differently and going through a period of "what ifs" so to speak. I don't know that I think she is in love with Roger. I think that her life is so complicated right now, and for some reason she sees Roger as a safe person - even though it's totally dangerous and wrong. I really do not want them to end up together. Janet. I absolutely love Janet. And I love her transformation. Janet will probably be the woman who runs a major corporation one day. Or she could turn into Hillary Clinton. (<---- joke)

54. "RE: Swingtown" |
Yep, I meant Roger. I get their names confused a lot.I can put Susan on the disgusted list. If she does anything with Roger, she isn't just hurting Bruce, but also her kids and her best friend. I don't feel as disgusted with her as I did with Melinda, but when that episode was over I was just sick to my stomach. I adore Janet. I laughed out loud when she asked that guy who he was seeing and was naming girls, and he said some guys name. Her look and reaction were totally Janet. I cannot wait to see what else comes for her. I also felt for Lori. It is so hard to say goodbye to your first love, and especially when it is not a complete goodbye, just a I'll be back here's my apt. However, I think Doug did the right thing, leaving without her because her first priority has to be school. I was very happy with Tom's response about Trina being pregnant. I think that the only reason she was even thinking of abortion was because she thought that was what he wanted. Having him show happiness about the pregnancy was a welcome surprise I think for her. Overall, I love this show. However I think it touches on a lot of issues that make people think that are outside of swinging. A good surprise, at least for me.

53. "RE: Swingtown" |
Melinda disgusts me as well. It seems she is intenionally driving a wedge in Bruce's marriage just to prove a point. She bothers me much more than Bruce because Bruce is at a low point in his marriage (I hate to make excuses for him because I'm not very fond of him) and he's vulnerable.Susan needs to keep fighting those feelings for Roger. It isn't fair to anybody involved to act on them. You mentioned her hesitation is maybe because of her bonds with Janet and Bruce but I would add her bond with Roger as well. Acting on their sudden intense attraction, or as Roger calls it "love", would be a bad move and it would put much more than her relationship with Janet at risk. Dare I think that Trina would lose some respect for her too? Frankly, I think she already has. I think you're right about how Trina may have been feeling when she woke up that morning to another couple in their bed. Plus, of course, she was sick. I really do love Janet's evolution on this show. I'm wondering where she will go next. Will she make the decision to stay (whether he goes or not)? I keep waiting for Roger to figure out that she is what is best for him. I liked the Lori and Doug stuff from this last episode. There was a quiet understanding between her and Susan when she was leaving. Susan knew she was going to (where was it?) Guatemala (?) but pretended to believe she was just going to Doug's. I like that he left without her out of respect for her schooling and for her. BJ and Samantha though... chick is supposed to only be gone for six weeks. Or did I miss something? So after however many episodes, I find that what saves the show for me is The Deckers, Janet, Lori and Doug. Funny that.

61. "Re-runs this fall!!" |
Swingtown is jumping into bed with a new partner: Bravo. As first reported on EW.com, the network just acquired the exclusive cable rights to CBS' spouse-sharing, '70s-set drama, and plans to re-air it sometime this fall. (The edgy, ratings-challenged show, which finished its 13-episode run on Sept. 5, has a slim chance for renewal on CBS.) Although the move would seem to open the door for Tom, Trina, and the rest of the bell-bottomed gang to make another summer of love — and on cable, where many felt that the series belonged in the first place — Bravo says that it has no plans to order additional seasons of Swingtown. Might some supergroovy ratings change anyone's mind? Fans can only hope. — Dan Snierson Snidget rocks! Friday Night Lights Rules! A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn... that was fun!"
