Swingtown on CBS
Set to a soundtrack of disco
tunes and orgiastic groans, the June 5th series premiere of
Swingtown (10:00 p.m. ET), has earned the title of Worst TV Show of
The Week.
In the premiere of Swingtown, which takes place in the
Chicago suburbs on July 4th 1976, Bruce and Susan Miller realize the
American dream of trading up to a bigger house, a better life and sex with
attractive neighbors.
The episode opened with a scene suggestive of a woman
performing oral sex on a man. From there, viewers are given a glimpse into the
Decker’s bedroom, where Tom and Trina are shown in bed with a young flight
attendant. Other scenes depicted teens smoking marijuana, a woman cutting
cocaine and rubbing the drug into her gums, a party guest taking Quaaludes, and
an orgy involving multiple couples.
According to Swingtown, married couples in the 1970s
can be clearly divided into three categories: the squares, the swingers and
everyone in between. In this arrangement, frigid squares scrub dirty ovens while
swingers host festive orgies in their basement play room. Meanwhile, in-betweeners,
like the Millers, attempt to fill suburban ennui by joining their swinging
neighbors for a bout of sexual experimentation. Satisfied smiles seem to
indicate that all they needed to solve their problems is a four-way with the
neighbors.
Swingers listen to The Commodores and are happier, healthier
and own matching running shorts. Squares listen to The Captain and Tenille and
are sexually repressed with weak-willed husbands and frigid wives.
For its graphic sexual
depictions, Swingtown deserves the title Worst TV Show of The Week.
