0CBS is airing a new series called Swing Town. As the name implies, the show is about a town of swingers practicing polygamy. The network received tons of negative as well as positive feedback even before the debut. Due to its adult content, the much anticipated series is put in a later timeslot, a move critics call network desperation as steamy series are often associated with cable networks and movies. During an interview, the producer defended, saying "If you don't like it, don't watch". Wondering what's the lifestyle of swingers, I think I'm going to watch though I don't like XX films [help...it's shot in the 70s setting...what's the opposite of contemporary or modern] - contemporary or modern??? films are much better in general.02br

00I'm not familiar with this show myself, but on the CBS website it's called "Swingtown". I'd probably put "Swingtown" in italics, or quotes, but this is really a style thing.02br
