This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I've been watching this show from the start being from Chicago and the writer being a friend of friends and as much as I liked it in the beginning, I am looooovvving it now. It was provocative and unique out of the gate, but now the characters are developing, relationships are growing and the writing has really taken off. The most recent episode "Swingus Interruptus" was hysterical and right on. I even love the sweet story lines of the two youngest kids as they are about the age I would have been then. The clothing, cars, music, decor and even the facial hair will bring you back, but the story lines and character development will have you feeling invested in the show. Give this one a chance and keep it from getting cancelled. They can't all be crime or reality shows!!!As for NANCY26 who commented that this show is not a realistic portrayal of Chicago's north shore in the 70s...this world did exist even there. You just weren't a part of it. In fact, in a sociology class at Notre Dame they discuss Chicago's north shore in depth while covering the phenomenon of swinging during this era. One never knows what goes on behind a neighbor's curtain especially when the kids are in bed by 9pm!

I am hoping this one makes it. This show is pure entertainment, a nighttime soap. It deals with adult relationships and the issues of the 70s, which were a time of change. It has a cast which works and is believable, and it is also fun to see the decorating style and fashions I remember from my childhood.It is a shame, but not a surprise, it is being challenged by conservatives, but their views do not reflect the whole story. Keep it at 10pm on Thursdays, and put the kids to bed. If it becomes too much for CBS to handle, I hope FOX or a cable channel will pick it up.I'm ready for another drama to get into that is intelligent and well produced. Swingtown seems to have both so far. I am glad my friend pointed it out for me. Pass the word! Thank you.

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

I won't tell you that the acting is stellar or that the plot lines are deep but that hasn't affected my enjoyment of this show. Personally I haven't watched an offering from a major network in the last five years that I considered worth my time and attention.Swingtown has broken that streak in that it is simply fun to watch the collision of different personalities and moralities which happened during this time in our history. Plus, the music is great and the look/feel really allows my suspension of disbelief to take hold and transport me back to the 70s.Don't knock it till you try it :)!
