Swingtown is only the title....but this show is much more.
What initially drew me to this show was my love of the 70's (I was 13 in '76) and Grant Show.
Well, what I thought? was going to be nothing more than Summer fluff, turned into a much more complex, clever, original series. As a married woman, I can relate to the angst of these couples....as a 13 year old back then, I can also relate to the storylines of the teenagers.
CBS took a huge risk putting this show on and they had a hard time finding sponsors. That is a shame because the show had literally no more provocative scenes than you see everyday on your daytime soaps.
By the last episode we were completely gripped by this story and emotionally invested in these characters. It was soooo well written, acted, directed and spot-on as far as the styles, music and the whole depiction of the time.
I was saddened to see it end....however, I am holding out hope that (my favorite show) will be either picked up by CBS or another channel....so we can continue to see how these characters lives unfold.
I am definitely purchasing this when it comes out and would highly recommend it to anyone who didn't get a chance to see the series.
It would be nice to see some Golden Globe or SAG nominations for this cast, they are ALL good!
