Swingtown is an American drama television series created by Mike Kelley as a summer replacement series for CBS aired from June 5 to September 5, 2008. The show was a period and relationship drama about the impact of sexual and social liberation in 1970s American suburban households, with story arcs involving open marriages and key parties . [1]

Swingtown premiered on Thursday June 5, 2008, [2] in the time slot previously occupied by Without a Trace . [3] The show was also picked up by Global in Canada, ITV3 in the United Kingdom, [4] TV3 Ireland in Ireland, Network Ten in Australia, Rai 4 in Italy , Warner Channel in South America, [5] and Universal Channel in Poland, TV 2 in Norway, Channel Four in New Zealand, and Romania . [6]

After seven episodes of declining ratings, [7] CBS moved the show's US airing to Fridays, swapping with Flashpoint , which had outperformed Swingtown despite airing in a less favorable time slot. Swingtown's first season's finale (ultimately the de facto series finale) aired on September 5.

Although the show's cancellation was suspected well in advance, it was made official on January 14, 2009. [8] [9]

Set in the summer of 1976, the series begins with the relocation of the Miller family to a more affluent neighborhood in the North Shore , a suburban area of Chicago . Bruce Miller (played by Jack Davenport ) is a futures trader working his way up in the business, married to Susan ( Molly Parker ). Susan Miller is a homemaker who got pregnant and married Bruce in high school. The couple have a teenage daughter, Laurie ( Shanna Collins ), and a young son Bruce Junior, nicknamed B.J. (Aaron Howles).

Tom and Trina Decker ( Grant Show and Lana Parrilla ) are the Millers' new neighbors. Tom, an airline pilot , met Trina while she was a stewardess . The Deckers quickly befriend the Millers, and the Millers just as quickly learn that their new neighbors have an open marriage . The move strains the Millers' friendship with Roger and Janet Thompson ( Josh Hopkins and Miriam Shor ), their more conservative neighbors and friends from their old neighborhood. They try to maintain their friendship with the Millers, but the Thompsons are appalled when they learn about the Deckers' marital arrangement. The Thompsons have a son, Rick ( Nick Benson ).

Although the show mostly focuses on the three couples, their children's stories are followed too, particularly Laurie, who is attracted to her summer school philosophy teacher ( Michael Rady ). B.J. and Rick's friendship is also tested by the move, and B.J. meets Samantha Saxton ( Brittany Robertson ), an enigmatic girl who lives next door to him in his new neighborhood.

Producers Mike Kelley ( head writer ) and Alan Poul first pitched their idea to HBO , where Poul, who had worked on Six Feet Under , had a development deal. Poul said HBO passed on the opportunity at least in part because it already had Big Love in production and Tell Me You Love Me in development. [3] The two next approached Showtime , but before discussions with that network went anywhere, CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler found out about the proposal and within a couple of days, had read the script; she gave the series the greenlight in May 2007. [3] The script, written in anticipation of a cable network deal, had to be rewritten for American broadcast television standards, all but eliminating the nudity and the explicit depiction of sexual acts. [3] CBS ordered 13 episodes from CBS Paramount Television . [10]

The 26 critics included in the show's Metacritic gave it mixed reviews (a "metascore" of 49). Variety said the series "exhibits rare depth" and includes "plenty of nifty touches, from the pop-song score and Boogie Nights fashions to the first-rate cast." [11] The Hollywood Reporter said "even skillful performances by its largely unknown cast aren't able to hide the lack of character development and the sense that the people in this series are almost self-parodies." [12] Salon called it "stylish and '70s-sexy but also shallow enough to feel like a less funny, hollowed-out combination of The Wonder Years and Boogie Nights — which is exactly what the show's creators told the New York Times they were aiming for (without using the words 'less funny' and 'hollowed-out' of course)." [13]

The American Family Association urged members to write letters of complaint to the media, [14] while the Parents Television Council followed a failed boycott attempt with an effort to convince CBS affiliates to preempt the program. [15] Procter & Gamble [16] and Ace Hardware [17] stopped advertising on the serial.

Lindsay Soll writes that one "producer thinks of sophisticated swingers Tom and Trina (Show and Parilla) in a ‘ Great Gatsby -like way,’ calling them 'the shining couple across the street.' Exactly why we'd get in bed with them--er, the show." [18]

Audience interest dwindled as the summer progressed. After a strong pilot episode , the ratings for Swingtown got progressively worse, aided [ citation needed ] by a mid-season move from Thursdays to Friday .

According to executive producer Alan Poul , the first season ending was shot with the show's uncertain future in mind: [19]

The season ends with a cliffhanger , but it's also a completely satisfying ending. So, if we go forward, there are many new things that are set up to explore. And if we don't go forward, there's no feeling that we've been left with something incomplete.
The poor ratings led CBS to see if any cable networks, or perhaps DirecTV , were interested in picking it up. [7] Bravo decided to acquire rights to the existing episodes, but did not order any new ones. [20]

Episodes feature songs of the period performed by the original artists; Last.fm , owned by CBS Interactive , features the songs from the show in a sponsored group cross-promoted during each episode. [21]

There were low ratings for the first seven episodes — the seven Thursday night episodes averaged 6.7 million viewers and a 2.3 rating in adults 18-49 — led CBS to move Swingtown from Thursdays to Fridays. Following the change, the ratings for the next four episodes averaged just 3.9 million viewers, with an average 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic. [7]

The complete series was released on DVD on December 9, 2008 [30] and recently was re-release on June 18, 2019.

June 5 ( 2008-06-05 ) – September 5, 2008 ( 2008-09-05 )

Susan and Bruce have moved their family to a more affluent neighborhood in a suburb of Chicago to try to find a different, unique sense of community that they have not felt yet. Little do they know, they have stepped into the world of swingers and the American sexual revolution.

Bruce's great day is capped off by going to a party with his wife Susan. Janet begins to understand how great her friendship with Susan can be.

Susan wants help planning a housewarming party in hopes of fixing her friendship with Janet. Trina has a different idea for the party.

The Millers, Deckers and Thompsons all end up at Susan's family cabin where Janet finally loosens up.

Defying Bruce, Susan attends a free speech fundraiser at the Deckers' home to benefit the legal defense of the star of a controversial film.

Tom is jealous when Trina and her high school sweetheart relive fond memories. Meanwhile, Susan attends the Ladies Auxiliary luncheon to help boost Bruce's career, but Janet makes the lasting impression on the elite organization.

Tom throws a pool party without conferring with Trina, who is bitter about his affair with a woman he met in Tokyo; after losing his job, Roger turns to Susan for advice; Bruce and his co-worker, Melinda, get comfortable.

Roger and Susan, Bruce and Melinda, and Tom and Janet team up for Trina's annual Puzzlerama party, where the neighborhood's darkest secrets are the clues for the game. Trina purposely teamed Susan and Roger up hoping that they will become a couple and Bruce kisses Melinda.

While Tom and Trina close their relationship, Susan and Bruce open a new door with Brad and Sylvia, but are interrupted by Laurie and her new boyfriend Doug.

Bruce plans a family trip to the cabin but Laurie has other ideas about keeping her plans with Doug. Roger and Janet start seeing a therapist.

Bruce and Susan enjoy a night of line dancing with Tom and Trina and Janet starts a temporary job with a local newspaper. She does well on her first few days and her boss is impressed with her work.

Susan throws a surprise party for Janet for her birthday. Roger has a job interview for a job in Cincinnati and Samantha finds out that she will be moving in with her cousin Lisa, however, BJ does not take it so well. Also Trina has a surprise for everyone that will change her and Tom's lifestyle.

Trina and Tom have their end-of-summer clambake party at the beach. Roger purports to accept the job and is supposed to be flying out to find a place in the new city for the Thompsons to live. Janet does not want to leave Chicago. Susan and Bruce's relationship with each other could close when Susan finds out about Bruce's affair with Melinda. Laurie goes over to Doug's apartment to leave with him to Guatemala but finds out that he already left. She reads a letter from him declaring his affection and commitment to her on paper. The season finale ended with Trina reading a book about babies (Dr. Benjamin Spock's guide - a gift from Janet), Janet working on her scrapbook and pasting her Dear Janet column. Bruce goes to see Melinda at the bar where they kiss. Susan goes to see Roger at his hotel room.

I’ve been itching to write a review about this site for some time mainly because in my eyes it gives me the opportunity to explain adult dating to people from the perspective of a business owner. That being said the views expressed in this post are mine and shouldn’t be confused with the actual way Swingtowns.com or any other adult dating site operates their business.
If you visit Swingtowns.com in 2012 what I notice is how dull the site looks it doesn’t look like anything fancy there are no models on their front webpage everything about it Swingtowns.com in my opinion looks very bland. That being said in my opinion Swingtowns.com is a very legit swingers dating site and swingers community the only problem Swingtowns.com has is their lack of membership which brings me to my next point.
The average person looking to sign up for an adult dating site demands images and wording that make him or her want to sign up now furthermore the average adult dater wants membership numbers hopefully in the millions that make him or her say to themselves hey a lot of people are using this site maybe I should use it too. Yes this might not be true for all of you but it’s the case with most people and that is where Swingtowns.com fails in my opinion.
Again Swing towns in my opinion is 100% legit the problem they currently face is lack of membership and the reason in my opinion they lack huge membership numbers is because of their outright honesty; their outright blandness which for many is refreshing but it turns off the majority because it doesn’t grab people’s attention immediately. I’ve said this on forums before the average online dating user will quit within a few days for any reason so from my perspective if you’re starting a dating site business your number one goal has to be to find as many users as possible and get them to join.
If you’re looking for an honest adult dating company Swingtowns.com is definitely a dating website that you must consider it’s not a scam however if you’re not having any success with it the reason could be their lack of members.Another thing you must consider is some couples just aren’t interested some swingers change their minds frequently the bottom line is everyday life happens.
I remember meeting a woman and she said she was going to see her parents and when she came back we would hook up well when she went to go see her parents they had a nearby forest fire and the whole town had to be evacuated she didn’t come back for months and when she came back she became very uninterested in me. What I’m getting at here is sh*t happens Swingtowns.com is very inexpensive compared to some of the other swinger sites I’ve tried and like I said earlier they’re honest. If you sign up with Swingtowns.com I wish you all the best.
To date my personal favorite adult dating site is Adult Friend Finder to keep my reasoning on why I prefer Adult Friend Finder as short and as simple as possible I will say that Adult Friend Finder and the whole friend finder team are masters of marketing and advertising. Adult Friend Finder from 2011 – 2012 have added 5 million new members they have over 40 million + members and their still growing daily. Adult Friend Finder is not just a swingers dating site it’s an adult dating and entertainment experience.
If Adult Friend Finder was just a swingers dating site in my opinion it would be something like Swingtowns.com but Adult Friend Finder realized that in order to recruit more members they had to be more than that. This is the reason why I always tell people Adult Friend Finder is not for everyone. I’ve been very successful with Adult Friend Finder to a point where I feel comfortable being patient when one women or couple I have a connection with all of sudden become uninterested in me I don’t worry it doesn’t even bother me.
Most people however will take instances like this personally and call this whole swingers thing a scam. I honestly don’t have the answers for all you people I can only speak for myself and say in
