Are You A Swinger?

Ok I confess. I am a 'swinger'.



Well not quite. Im just an avid fan of CBS' sexy summer series, Swingtown.

I tuned into this show a few months back when it premiered and have been hooked every since.

Set in my favorite decade, the 70's, Swingtown touches on all the moral, political and social changes families endured in American culture during that era. The show is set in the burbs of Chicago where different generations of friends and neighbors prudes and freaks alike all seem to be exploring anew and learning more about themselves.

So in short this hour long drama series is packed with all things 70's such as sex, fashion, sex, music, sex, drugs, sex, experimentation, and you guessed it...more sex.

Up until now the cast has been all white but just last week we were introduced to two new black freaks characters, Anthony (Rylan Williams) and Michelle (LaTarsha Rose). While the two didn't have any speaking lines, the show ended with the pair lip locked with show's main swingers Tom (Grant Show) and Trina Decker (Lana Parilla).

You can catch a quick peek of the foursome in action in the preview clip below about 17 seconds deep. Don't blink or you may miss it.



Rumor has it this show will not see the light of day come the fall. But I have to give CBS their props for even going there with such a risque series.

Swingtown can be seen on Fridays at 10 p.m.
