The Night is Fallin’ & The Music’s Calling; You’ve Got to Get Down to SWINGTOWN
Beginning Thursday night, CBS is taking a leap from their norm by offering up Swingtown, a new series about the suburban 70′s. Bring on the key parties and open relationships!
Here are the top 3 reasons I will be watching:
- It stars Molly Parker, who played Alma Garret on Deadwood
- The pilot was directed by Alan Poul, executive producer of Six Feet Under
- The soundtrack is provided by Liz Phair
Above and beyond that, my summer canvas is chock full of flawed, overconfident men (Mad Men & Rescue Me), so I look forward to this addition of flawed, overconfident women.
Other Swingtown stars include Grant Show (Jake from Melrose Place), Jack Davenport (Norrington from the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy), and Lana Parilla (who has appeared on everything from Spin City to Boomtown to 24).
The series was created by Mike Kelley, who recently produced both Jericho and The O.C.
