I'm watching it on www.cbs.com right now. Now I need to figure out how to send the video from my computer to my TV.

I've been watching it and it's okay......not nearly worth the hype, but not bad either.

My wife and I watch it - and have watched a couple of episodes with a couple we swing with, actually. We like it a lot, but it looks like the series won't last much longer - when CBS moved it to Friday nights at 11pm, "the time slot TV shows go to die", we knew it was in trouble.

The show is about swinging, but it's also a typical relationship-py family drama. I think having it be set in the 70's allows the characters to be portrayed as more sympathetic - for the most part the experienced "swinging" couple, the main protagonists who are expanding their horizons (through many ways including experimenting with swapping), and their vanilla friends are all portrayed pretty fairly. If anything, the show is biased towards the swingers, who's relationship seems to be stronger and more honest than the more conservative characters.

Also, my wife and I are both totally crushing on Grant Show. The man knows how to work the mustache!

I like the shoe, the whole thing: the music, the culture, the disco scene as well as the whole swinging scene. I can't wait till each new episode.:tong:

I like it alot and tape it to make sure I don't miss an episode . The swinging is nice and how it affects the family and friend relationships seems to be well done as well . The fact that it takes place during my high school years is a plus as well . Class of "76" here .

The fact that it takes place in the 70's is perfect, but only because that is really when people started hearing about it, swing clubs began popping up like daisies and the "swingers" lifestyle began heading in the direction of being kind of considered mainstream (not that it is really mainstream, but is more acceptable than it would have been in the 50's or 60's).

Down here, there's one swinger's club that has been around for about 40 years in the same place. Of course, when it was first built, it was out in the middle of nowhere, but over the years, the city grew out to it.
