TV show description:
It’s summer in 1976. Changes are happening in the U.S. of A. as it celebrates its Bicentennial.
Making a change in their own lives are stockbroker Bruce Miller (Jack Davenport) and his wife, Susan (Molly Parker), who move to a much more posh neighborhood in Chicago. New neighbors Tom and Trina Decker (Grant Show and Lana Parrilla) aren’t quite like anyone the Millers knew in their old neighborhood. The Decker’s open marriage and lifestyle raise the eyebrows of the Millers and their old friends, Roger and Janet Thompson (Josh Hopkins and Miriam Short).
Janet’s dislike of the Millers’ new swingin’ companions is palpable while Roger only hides his curiosity in order to please his wife. The tension between the former neighbors also causes a rift between the friendship of their sons, Bruce “B.J.” Miller (Aaron Howles) and Rick Thompson (Nick Benson).
While the couples experience the changing values of the decade, and the shifting dynamics of their relationships, the Millers’ teenage daughter, Laurie (Shanna Collins), is also testing the waters with her philosophy teacher, Doug Stephens (Michael Rady).
As the characters’ lives become more and more intertwined, they also become more complicated. Can their relationships with their spouses and friends swing forward or will they just spin out of control?

This show needs to get put back on the air,stop canceling all of the goods shows and coming back with crappy ones. You guys needs to wake up and listen to the viewers. We want this show back on the air….. Loved it………
This was a great show, please put it back on the air.
Hey CBS I’m back still wondering if your gonna do the right thing and give us fans of Swingtown closer????? I’m starting to wonder just what kind of people you got working for you that make these crappy decisions, maybe you should wonder to, cause it’s perfectly clear there are a lot of unhappy Swingtown fans out there. Come on give us just a couple more shows or maybe one 2 hour show that ends the series, you can’t just stop right in the middle and expect us to want to watch your network. Come on Big Cheese lets get with it and do the right thing, or your gonna here from me again.
