I like swingtown, I really dont see what the big fuss is about. When they get ready to do the sex scenes its nothing that you wont find on an everyday soap opera...they dont really show anything! I laugh sometimes when people say its an outrage and it will affect their children. Its on around ten oclock on a weekday night, if your kids are young enough to where you think their minds will be corrutped so easily by a tv show...then shouldnt they already be in bed?

I also say to myself your so worried that this show will "brainwash" your children yet you let them play grand theft auto where they score extra points killing people,HAVING SEX and hitting prostitutes and who knows what else

Laaaaaame! This show was about love and relationships more than anything. "A show about swinging and illegal drugs coming RIGHT into your home!" Total propaganda. This show was precious and beautiful - totally emotional and extremely intelligent. Cancelling it was the stupidest thing they ever did.

Ah,ah, ah!!! American puritanism always... =D

Let me laugh, 'cause in France it looks like a soft show! It's not pornography!!!Yes?

Of course not!

Its the United States, what can you expect.... do it but as long as it stays in the box...

Why is it, every time something reflecting real life and most of our fantasies is shown, so many feel threatened by what is after all, our society.

Live and let live, you have the right to say no, and the right to change channels, but you do not have the right to dictate to others what they can watch, or how they should live.

How many marriages exist where the good christian husband is beating the good christian wife? Priorities.

Hypocrisy, I'm sick to death of it.

Mind your own business.

this was one of the great shows, its really too bad it was canceled.

Swingtown is such a great show! I remember when Bravo played the marathon, I watched the whole thing! I don't know why people were so upset over the show, its new, fresh and very entertaining, and it's not real! I'd be more concerned about stupid reality shows like the hills, paris hilton's new bff, and shit like that. Now those shows are damaging!

more intended for cable t.v.? what? that makes no sense! how can something be more intended for cable? ayayay

[drmgrl11]

i know right?? people seriously need to chill out , its a damn t.v. show and quite frankly we have bigger fish to fry!

[drmgrl11]

yeah really what the hell? what's wrong with this show compared to the rest of the crap that's on t.v.? they have got to be kidding. they allow shows like south park which is basically a bunch of 9 year olds going around saying the f-word , but ohhhh no if there's something about stuff happened in the 70s i don't frigging get it.

[kylewontsmile]

wtf??? its NORMALIZING the behavior? i think not. it happened in the 70's. if you dont approve...dont watch!!!! i dont approve of alot of things. that doesnt mean other people dont...let them watch it. this show was so good and i wonder if it got the axe... is it still on air?
