Insomnia

Note to self: Don't drink a medium iced coffee at dinner time or you'll be up until 2 a.m. watching the entire season of Swingtown, a new CBS drama. 

It was a good show! Have you seen it? It's on CBS Wednesdays at 10 p.m.

CBS.com says:
"SWINGTOWN, from the director of "Big Love" and "Rome," traces two generations of friends and neighbors as they forge intimate connections and explore new freedoms during the culturally transformative decade of the 1970s. It portrays the ever-shifting “swing” of the pendulum that reflected the change in America's collective value system -- morally, politically and socially.   

After moving to an upscale lakeside Chicago suburb in July of 1976, Susan and Bruce Miller must confront temptation in the form of their provocative new neighbors, Tom and Trina Decker, while not abandoning their old friends Janet and Roger Thompson. As the adult couples evaluate whether to embrace or avoid newfound personal freedoms, the curious Miller and Thompson children begin to discover and assert their own morality and sexual identities as they come of age in a world on the precipice of change.  

In a shifting social climate -- defined by its music, fashion and style -- everyone in SWINGTOWN is confronted with personal choices, experimentation and varying attitudes."

Insomnia = no good.

Glad you find a new show out of the deal. You need a little less CNN in your life. : )

I hope you won't be contemplating the "swinger" lifestyle from watching that show!

Don't worry New, the only swinging currently on Franklin Street is on the brand new swing set. My girlfriend is too tired for the other kind :)

Melanie said...

Don't worry, I'm not contemplating it yet!!

BTW, apparently the show is on Thursday at 10, not Wednesday. And you can watch episodes 3-7 right now on cbs.com.

Nora said...

Sorry... Thursday at 10 is Burn Notice on USA.

Amy, how are the twins? It's about time for Mel to put up another picture of them on her blog, n'est pas?

no swinging yet? I guess I can hang out for a little while longer anyway.

Chris C. said...

i certainly hope that all of the smith girls will not be adopting this "no swinging" policy.

Melanie said...

It's OK, Chris. Amy and Nora are both still living the swingin' lifestyle.

I caught a little of Swingtown tonight. Seems interesting. I wasn't paying full attention to it, but from what I caught, it seems like a good show.
