Swingtown - Is Anybody Watching?

Has anybody been watching this show?

I have recorded it (Thu 10/9C CBS) and watched it each week primarily because it takes place in Winnetka, IL in a rather affluent suburb of Chicago. So, close to home.

Here is how the show describes itself:

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.

Swingtown won it's timeslot this past week, but their numbers have been dwindling each week. I see this show not making it at this rate, and I'm not really sure if I care? I was hoping for a "Mad Men-esque" look at the 70's but they haven't delivered...so far. The show has improved each week, so they are getting closer...

I think it's worth a recording to take a look!
