The following are the official spoilers for the final two episodes of “Swingtown.” As of yet nothing has been announced regarding the show’s renewal.
On a side note, my recap for this past Friday’s show will be posted sometime this week. I need to watch it again. Also note, there is no episode this coming Friday.
Deciding his family was falling apart, Bruce made the decision to go up to the family cabin for some time away. Laurie however did not want to go, she was supposed to go to a Jackson Browne concert with Doug. This infuriated Bruce even more, demanding they go. Ricky, Janet and Roger’s kid, tagged along as Janet and Roger needed alone time.
Janet thinks Roger is depressed and he needs counseling. She got the name of a woman that was recommended to her. Upon arriving for the session, Janet started taking over! Janet kept talking about how Roger lost his job, which has made him depressed, and she thought he needed to talk to someone. The doctor started asking Janet questions, which of course upset her. After all they weren’t here for her, but for Roger. The doctor felt they both needed to talk to someone actually. This sent Janet over the edge and she stormed out, demanding Roger follow.
Up at the cabin, Susan called home to Roger, talking about how this trip isn’t as fun as the last one. As they chit chat, Bruce shows up and Susan has to pretend like it’s just a call to say hello. At Roger’s place, Janet walks in and wants to talk to Susan, claiming she’s lost the number for the cabin and is glad she called.
Bruce wanted to set some alone time up with Susan to talk, and she agreed. However she got waylaid by a fight with Laurie over the state of their marriage. Laure doesn’t understand how her parents could do what they were about to do with that couple. Susan tried to explain it was complicated. Laurie asked if her parents loved each other still? Susan says yes, but as you grow older, things change as does love. Laure doesn’t think so, she thinks if you love someone that should be enough. Susan said it was easy to say that where she was now. Laurie said no, all she wants is Doug, and if it got to the point where she was wanting other people, that Doug wasn’t enough for her . . . then she’d leave Doug. She said it was that simple. She told her mom that life was too short to settle.
Susan went to call Roger again, but was caught by Bruce who stormed in upset that she forgot about their date. She explained about what happened with Laurie. They then found a note from Laurie, saying she had run off to meet Doug for the concert! Susan called Doug, who told them Laurie was at some diner. They all agreed to go there to meet her.
On the way there, Bruce was blaming all of this on that Doug, but Susan said this was their fault. She said instead of being parents they were too busy having a good time and trying to convince each other they were still in love. Bruce said he didn’t have to be convinced, he knew he was still in love with her. Susan said nothing . . . He asked if she still loved him, she said yes of course.
At the diner, Doug and Laurie’s parents all arrive at the same time. She’s not happy, and Bruce is about to pummel Doug. Susan suggests they all sit down, have some pie and talk. Bruce feels Doug, who is 24, is too old for Laurie, who is 17. Laurie points out mom was 16 when she married. They also swear they did not do anything until after school was over. Doug says he fought this, but he respects Laurie and he respects she can make up her own mind. Susan admitted that she had seen a change in Laurie, she thinks Doug has helped her go out in the world, question things and get involved. Susan eventually let Laurie leave with Doug for the concert, knowing to stop her would only make her draw further away from them.
Meanwhile, Janet went back to the therapist to inform her that they would not be paying for yesterday’s session. The therapist didn’t expect her too, but would like to know what is going on here. Why did that happen. Janet sits down and talks, admitting she may have some issues. She breaks down, opening up about how there is this man paying attention to her. He told her she was beautiful, he even kissed her. She admits she likes it, but that it just can’t happen. The therapist suggests she talks to this man, let him know they can only be friends. Janet says she will do that.
Janet goes to see Tom, who is alone. She tries to talk to him, but then Trina shows up. Janet quickly claims she wants to have them over for dinner, she wants them to all get to know each other better. Tom and Trina accept and later go over for dinner. Janet finally gets to talk to Tom alone, and as she tells him they can only be friends, he’s bewildered. He has no idea where this is coming from, but plays along with her! Clearly he thought he was only being nice and friendly and she thought he was putting the moves on her.
Meanwhile we finally get the talk between Trina and Roger, the big one. She flat out tells him she can see what is between him and Susan, and thinks she is the one he wants. Roger finally admits it, saying he doesn’t know what to do. Trina says he can tell her and go for it, or he can try and get over his feelings for her.
Tom and Trina end up sneaking out of dinner early, as they both started getting weirded out a bit by Roger and Janet . . . especially Janet. They then ended there closed relationship status and had a foursome with another couple.
Janet meanwhile tells Roger she went to see the therapist and they had a really good talk about a lot of things. She was wrong about her, she is a good doctor. She tells Roger that she wants to do her part around here too, she’s going to go to an employment agency and see about getting a job. Roger said okay. Janet then went off to take a bath. Roger tried calling Susan, but hung up just as Susan got to the phone and answered it. Roger then dug the doctor’s business card out of the trash.
Also going on in this episode, BJ and Ricky were still fighting over Ricky and what happened with Samantha. Ricky felt if BJ hit him then he’d feel better, and egg’d him on into doing it. BJ admitted he felt better. He then told Ricky that he thinks his family is really screwed up. Ricky told him to join the club.
My Thoughts
I loved Janet once again, she was great in this episode. Her taking over Roger’s therapy session was classic, as was the whole misunderstanding of Tom’s intentions. I think he was being friendly and trying to make her feel good about herself, but she thought he was in love with her. When she contronted poor Tom, saying they could only be friends, he looked like he was afraid of Janet! I really thought for a second Janet was going to jump on him. Maybe he did too! He played along, but couldn’t wait to get out of there. The way Janet talked to the therapist about Tom, I think she actually does have a little crush on him.
I loved the heart to heart Laurie had with her mom. It was ironic that the kid was setting the parent straight on love, telling her mom that if her dad was not enough she should leave him and find what does make her happy. It was odd to hear a kid basically telling her mother it was okay to get a divorce if that was what made her happy, but it also showed maturity on Laurie’s part I think.
Susan going to call Roger after the talk with Laurie basically was her making the move, admitting she wanted Roger. Roger also finally admitted to Trina it was Susan he wanted. So there we have it, after all this time they both have admitted at least to themselves (and us) they want each other. I have to say, I’m really feeling for Janet and Bruce as they are about to be blindsided and probably don’t see it coming. I think I feel a little more for Janet, as Bruce came across as a controlling father and husband in this episode.
BJ and Ricky ventured back into pointless and boring land this week, but fortunately they were on for a quick moment and that was about it. I honestly did think when they had their fist fight, that Ricky was going to kiss BJ. I guess that would be a little too predictable though.
TV Guide is reporting that Kenny G will appear and perform on an upcoming episode of “Dirty Sexy Money.” The episode should air October 8th.
Ausiello is reporting that Grant Show (Swingtown) will appear on an episode of “Private Practice” in the fall. He apparently plays a doctor who has ties to one already on the show. There is still no word on whether”Swingtown” will get a 2nd season at this point.
Ausiello has also reported that Anne Archer will be back on “Ghost Whisperer” as Jennifer Love Hewitt’s character’s mother.
This past week’s episode was probably the best episode yet. The episode started off with Tom and Trina having a dinner party for Brad and Sylvia. Brad had just written an article on how more couples were experimenting with open marriages. The article has been commissioned to be turned into a book. Brad was planning to go to the Palomino Club, a big sex club in town, to do research. He invited them all and also said he would like to interview them. Susan seemed game, but Bruce didn’t want to go or be interviewed.
Before bed that night, Bruce finally admitted to Susan that the night of the blackout he was with Melinda, and they kissed then and also later at the Puzzlerama party. Susan seemed miffed, but not overly angry. The next morning she told Bruce she wanted to go to that club with Sylvia and Brad, she felt they needed to go. She wanted to control the sex, not let the sex control their marriage.
Trina meanwhile tried to smooth things over with Janet, attempting to bake her some muffins. Cooking isn’t her thing, apparently Tom does most of it, as she burned the muffins and they were stuck to the pan. She and Janet had a laugh over it.
Later Janet went to return Trina’s pan, only to find her and Susan talking. It seems Susan and Bruce were going to the club and she wanted Trina and Tom to go. Janet learned about the trip and announced she wanted to go too! She felt it was something Roger was getting into, because he came to the party here the day of the blackout. She borrowed a sexy red dress from Trina, and Trina and Susan dolled her up. Susan called Bruce, who was meeting Roger to talk about possibly getting him a job at his company. She asked him to bring Roger to the club tonight.
The women all arrived at the club, where the boys already were. Janet saw this one woman coming onto Roger. The woman told Janet she was a lucky woman to be with Roger. Later Roger and Janet got a tour of the backroom at the party! They disappeared into it while Susan told Bruce she really wanted to take Brad and Sylvia home. He agreed, so Tom and Trina said they would make sure Roger and Janet got home.
Meanwhile, Laurie and her teacher Doug were now doing it like rabbits. The presidential political conventions were coming up, and Laure got the idea to watch the republican convention at her parent’s house. She said everyone would be out for the night and what better place to watch it than an actual republican home. Unfortunately what they didn’t count on was her parents coming home early and with guests! Laure and Doug hid behind a bar while they had to listen to her parents getting high on pot and then begin to . . . well . . . you know.
Trying to sneak out, Laurie and Doug got caught. Bruce was furious that Laurie was with an obviously older man, and even more upset when he found out this was her summer school teacher. Brad, Sylvia and Doug basically all ran out of the house as the fight began. Laurie called her parents out, not wanting a lecture when they were getting high and about to do who knows what with those two freaks. Bruce announced that ever since moving here this family had spiraled out of control. He was going to take back control, he didn’t know how, but he had to think on it. He then stormed off.
At Roger and Janet’s, their son Rick was having a pong party with his friends. BJ showed up with Samantha, who then whooped everyone’s butt at pong. Rick got the idea to play spin the bottle. He ended up having to spend two minutes in the closet with Sam. He asked why she came, she said BJ brought her. Rick claimed he had been friends with BJ his whole life and she was just a project for him, a hurt bird to take care of. She then called Rick out, saying it was obvious how he felt about BJ and she was not trying to take him away. Rick planted a kiss on her, and she planted her fist on his face! Samantha stormed out and BJ followed. Samantha told him that she doesn’t like going to parties, she does drink and she doesn’t play games. He said neither does he, and they kissed. Later as they headed home they caught the drama going on inside BJ’s home through the open back door the others fled out of earlier.
Over at Tom and Trina’s, the party from the club was still going on. Roger kept getting hit on by this one girl, and Janet had a talk with Tom. She thought Roger wanted this, but it was something she couldn’t do. She didn’t think any of Tom’s friends would ever want her. Tom gave her a kiss and told her she was a very beautiful woman, and “this” would only serve to bring Roger back home to her in the end. Janet went to see Roger, saying she’d be leaving and if he wanted to stay . . . As it turned out, he didn’t, he was doing this as he thought it’s what she wanted. The whole night was her idea he reminded her. They then left together.
My Thoughts
I really loved this episode. I felt for once I was engaged in every story, even the kids who I normally find boring and filler. I think it was bringing everything to a head, even with the kids, that made this episode so good. All the stories finally started intertwining.
I was actually shocked that Susan was not more angry at Bruce for the kisses, but then I started thinking . . . I think it’s clear it’s been Susan all along who has had a thing for Roger these many years. Does Roger like her? That part I’m still fuzzy on. But it’s starting to make sense, especially why she’s so gung-ho to go party with Brad and Sylvia. I think Bruce isn’t giving her what she needs. What she needs (or wants) is Roger, so maybe she’s looking for substitutes?
I love the whole thing with Tom and Trina closing their marriage because of the turn-about going on. Tom and Trina weren’t able to play, and Susan and Bruce seem to almost be taking up the reigns. Meanwhile you had the hilarity that was Roger and Janet misunderstanding what the other wanted and ending up in that backroom. Oh I really wanted to know what happened back there, if anything!
Tom planting a kiss on Janet was ironically the hottest part of the whole episode, if not the whole season. The look on her face was priceless and I think Tom actually would go there if given the chance!
I also loved Janet and Trina basically becoming closer friends. At the end when Janet saw Trina’s photographs it’s like she was really seeing Trina, commenting that she’s actually an observer of the world and people around her and that she has misjudged her. Trina said she had misjudged Janet as well. Aww, BFFs!
Laurie and her teacher were hilarious in this episode when they were stuck behind the bar listening to her parents. I don’t know how she could have held out as long as she did. I was squirming along with her thinking “Oh this is so gross she’s going to listen to her parents having an orgy! Permanent lifelong scars!”
Even BJ, Rick and Samantha entertained me in this episode, which was the most shocking part. I think it was the fact they went where I initially thought they were going at the beginning of the season . . . making Janet and Roger’s son gay and in love with his best friend. Samantha called him out on it, ironically while they were in the closet. His reaction was to just kiss her, which pretty much sealed the deal. Oh what Janet will think of this when she finds out.
This episode opened with Susan in the Decker’s pool with Roger, so obviously having a dream that they were about to get it on. They were however caught by Bruce and Janet, who suddenly materialized in the pool. Susan woke up . . . and I guess we have an answer to that question . . . Susan does have a little something for Roger! Now we just have to find out if Roger has something for her.
The bulk of this episode was about Trina’s annual Puzzlerama party. She had hidden various colorful chips around town in all sorts of places and then at the party offered cryptic clues where to find the chips. People were paired in teams of men and women and sent to find them.
Bruce’s co-worker Melinda showed up, though she wasn’t invited. She scored a date with someone else. She also made sure she was paired with Bruce as his partner. She wanted to talk to him about her proposition, which Bruce apparently turned down. She let him know it was okay and he was a perfect gentlemen, no hard feelings.
Janet was paired with Tom, while Roger was put with Susan. This was another not-supposed to happen pairing, all screwed up by Melinda’s arrival. Susan later in the episode asked Trina if she did this on purpose, she told her no and Roger was supposed to be with Gail.
During the search for the pieces, Bruce and Melinda kept talking and finally it happened, Bruce kissed her and kissed her hard! Of course this happens as Janet and Tom were approaching. Tom saw and quickly kept Janet from seeing. I have a hunch that Melinda isn’t after Bruce but instead his job. She’s going to file a complaint I bet, get him fired and take his job! There is something about this girl I just don’t trust.
The game ended up in a tie, so Janet demanded a tie breaker question. The answer was hidden up in Trina’s room, and there she found the photos from the pool party . . . including one of Roger! She was furious and he confessed the day of the heatwave when he wasn’t at work he was here with Susan, as her air conditioner was broke. Janet was furious with just about everyone.
Later Bruce seemed miffed with Susan, but she said this was Roger’s secret to keep and he didn’t want anyone knowing he’d been fired. She never meant or would keep secrets from him. Of course Bruce is keeping a big one from her!
Elsewhere in this episode, Laurie was in some silly contest with her ex-teacher/boyfriend to see who could get the most voters to register. They were campaigning for Carter. Meanwhile BJ returned from camp and hung out with Samantha. I still say the kids storylines are snoozers!
CBS’s police drama FLASHPOINT will move to Thursday, beginning this week, switching time periods with SWINGTOWN.
FLASHPOINT, which depicts the emotional journey in the tough, risk-filled lives of a group of cops in the Strategic Response Unit, relocates from its current Friday 10:00 PM time period to Thursday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), beginning July 24. FLASHPOINT has won its time period in all key measures in both of its Friday broadcasts, averaging 7.62 million viewers, 1.7/6 in adults 18-49 and 2.4/7 in adults 25-54. It has built on its NUMB3RS lead-in by +16% in viewers, +21% in adults 18-49 and +26% in adults 25-54.
SWINGTOWN, about the culturally transformative decade of the 1970s, moves from its Thursday 10:00 PM time period to Friday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) effective July 25. SWINGTOWN is averaging 6.52 million viewers, 2.2/7 in adults 18-49 and 2.7/8 in adults 25-54.
In the latest episode of “Swingtown” the town was hit with a heatwave! Trina responded by, of course, throwing a pool party for the neighborhood.
Trina decided to take up photography, a hobby she once loved in her younger years, but apparently gave up. It seems seeing the old boy-toy brought back some nostalgia, as well as a bit of the Trina she had lost over the years. She is woman hear her roar! I think Trina is tired of taking crap honestly.
Trina also found out Tom slept with a flight attendant, while she was not present. She confronted him, and he claimed he was upset and jealous over her and the boyfriend. She point blank gave him an option for them not to do “it” with him, but he went along with it. She said what he did was cheating and against the rules, as they weren’t together. Trina told Tom that it was time for them to re-visit the rules and remain exclusive for awhile. I knew it! I so knew these two would end up getting out of swinging. It’s temporary now, but who knows. I think Trina is moving away from Tom honestly.
Meanwhile, Janet bounced a check, which made her call the bank to find out why, which caused her to learn Roger hadn’t deposited a paycheck, which made her go to his work and find out he was laid off. Ohhh no, she was not happy!
Roger, not being able to go to work and not able to hang out at home, ended up over at Janet’s trying to fix her broken air conditioner. When the power went out, the job pretty much became pointless. They ended up heading to the Decker’s for the pool party.
Susan and Roger talked at the party. He even admitted to her that he can see why she and Bruce did what they did with the Deckers. It appeared as if Roger was hitting on her and going to make a move, but he didn’t. Seriously, I thought he was going to grab her and slip her some major tongue. I’m still convinced he’s in love with Susan though. Of course the biggest twist would be that he’s not and we’ve all been faked out! He told her that he wasn’t sorry he was fired, that job was killing him. He said he wanted more out of life. They talked about love, real love, and Roger thought it was being with someone who sees you as you see yourself. Susan described how she saw him . . . then quickly said she’s sure Janet sees him that way too. She then encouraged him to tell Janet the truth. What if all this time Susan’s been the one secretly in love with Roger? Wow, major turnabout!
Roger went home where Janet told him she knew he was let go before he could say it. He then let it all out, saying he hated that job, he’s not sorry, and he wants more out of his life. Shockingly Janet said . . . “okay!” She said she was his wife, and whatever he wanted she would support. They then had a romantic dinner by candlelight. Go Janet! She’s opening up and not being such a tight wad. I am thinking Janet might go out and . . . . get a job! Shocking I know, but the women’s lib movement was several years go (in their time).
Bruce meanwhile got stuck at work with the new girl, who of course propositioned him. He said he had a wife, and she said she had a hotel room. Gee, didn’t see that one coming! Meanwhile Laurie and her teacher got closer and went to some softball game which he was playing in. Zzzzzzz! Laurie did however pass her class with an A, and hinted to her mom she had a new guy.
Fun bonus material! Everyone who watches this show seems to love Janet. I don’t know if the show will survive the “summer series curse,” but I hope it does, and I hope Miriam Shor (who plays Janet) gets an Emmy nom next year! Anyway, I first got exposed to this wonderful actress from the movie “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” in which she played Yitzak, a role she originated in the off-Broadway show. Hmmm, how to describe him? Yes I said him. Yitzak is an eastern European man who, well who dreams of being a woman. He’s part of a rock band, whose lead singer Hedwig is, well was once a man? It’s too confusing and messy to go into, but one of the best rock operas to come along in a long time. It’s complete comedy and camp. The clip I wanted to show that really showcased her of course has too many F-bombs to be played at anyone’s work safely. So I’m settling for this clip. Enjoy the brilliance that is Miriam!
Post Note: I replaced the original clip I had selected with the movie opener. It features more of Miriam and well, is less spoilerish.
In this episode, Trina saw Tom off at the airport, and at the same time ran into her old high school boyfriend (played by Ryan McPartlin, Hank on “Passions”). Tom saw the connection between the two and was jealous! Trina and her old boyfriend made a “date” to get together while he was in town. He came over and they reminisced over old slides of them back in high school. Tom called to check on her, only to find out she was hanging out with her old boy-toy at home. He was really jealous, and ended up having some drinks with a stewardess. Oh we can see where that was going! Tom was going to have his own fling, thinking Trina was having one of her own.
Tom came home and he, Trina and the ex-boyfriend ended up having a threesome! Tom admitted to Trina how he was afraid of losing her, that maybe she had regrets about marrying him. It was the first time we really saw Tom as insecure. I’m also thinking that there is an age difference between these two. They never said there was, but I’m guessing we are just supposed to have figured out it existed.
Susan had a lunch date with the Lady’s Auxiliary Club. Bruce’s boss’ wife was the head honcho and he was hoping she’d basically be a way for him to make his way higher up the corporate ladder. Susan, not wanting to go alone, invited a thrilled Janet. Janet saw this for a way and her and Roger to also make their way up the rungs of society.
At the lunch, the ladies discussed a charity auction they were having for the hospital. Susan was a bit upset to learn that the ladies actually didn’t visit the hospital to do charity work. As the head honcho stated to her “Dear, we’re not doctors!” Meanwhile, Janet made an impression on the boss lady, who spilled red wine on her brand new white Armani jacket. She came to the rescue and saved her jacket, which got her an invite to the charity dinner as the boss’ lady’s personal guest.
Janet told Roger her news, and how she saw them going places. Perhaps they could even join the country club. Roger said they didn’t have the money for that. Janet suggested to Roger that it was time he asked for a raise, and he’s his companies best salesman of insurance. Roger went to see his boss, making the case for a promotion to a management position. His boss agreed, he was too qualified for what he was doing. His boss said he had kept him around as long as he could in this economy, and wished him luck wherever he ends up! Oopsie! I thought that was harsh. I mean he is the best salesman they had, and they fired him? Roger decided not to tell Janet, as she was so excited about the charity auction at the country club that night. She even got a new dress and her hair done. Might I say Miss Janet was looking pretty sexy too! Too bad she didn’t look like that all the time.
Over at Bruce’s work, a new girl started and she was the only female buyer on the stock exchange floor. All the men in Bruce’s firm were making bets on who’d be the first to sleep with her, and Bruce was the favored. They asked Bruce if he wanted to place a bet? I have a really bad feeling about where this one is going! Oh if Bruce cheats on Susan there will be hell to pay.
At the charity auction, the head honcho boss lady was impressed with the work Janet and Susan had done to help out and invited them both to join the Lady’s Auxiliary Club. Janet of course jumped, but Susan wasn’t so sure. Susan didn’t think it was right for her, she hoped Janet didn’t mind. Janet was somewhat thrilled that they still wanted her even without Susan, as so many times it had been a package deal. Meanwhile Bruce wasn’t too happy with his wife, as he thought this was a way for her to get in with his boss’ wife, which could mean good things for him. Susan seemed miffed that Bruce wanted to pimp her out basically.
Janet bid on a free dinner for two at the country club, won and paid 100 dollars for it. Roger went to Susan and asked her to get Janet’s big check back, as he had lost his job. He said he didn’t tell Janet because he knew how much this night meant to her, and he could pretend things were fine for one night. Touched, Susan got the check back but then bought the item Janet bid on for them, telling Roger that she owed Janet dinner and she didn’t need to know. Susan, inspired by Roger, accepted the invitation to the Lady’s Auxiliary Club in order to help out Bruce. Bruce thought she didn’t want to join. Susan said she could pretend it was right for her, even maybe making it work.
Meanwhile, Bruce’s conscience got the best of him. He told his female co-worker about the bet going around. As it turned out, she knew and slept with one of the guys to split the money with him! She asked Bruce how much he lost, but he said he didn’t bet. She admired him and said he was one of the good ones. I don’t trust this girl one bit. I can see her using and spitting Bruce out to further her own career.
Susan and Bruce’s son BJ was sent off to camp in this episode. Thank the heavens as his storyline was boring as sin. It looks like the writers even got bored writing for him. Laurie meanwhile faced her final exam, which was oral. Their assignment was to speak about the philosopher’s they had studied and draw from examples from their own life about being authentic to one’s self. Laurie basically screwed the assignment up, not wanting to say anything personal. Later she confronted her teacher saying she couldn’t say what she felt as it would have gotten him fired. She wanted to say she couldn’t stop thinking about him and wanted to be with him. He pointed out that he wasn’t her teacher anymore, and they shared a big fat smooch. I had to say I thought the teacher, pushing Laurie in front of the class to do the assignment as assigned, was asking for it. It was like he was challenging her to say it to the whole class, and I thought that was really crummy!
On the Next Swingtown . . .
Trina learns Tom cheated with his stewardess.
Bruce’s co-worker hits on him and suggests they sleep together.
Roger makes a play for Susan at the Decker’s pool!
Roger tells Janet “he needs more.” She reminds him they took vows!

Dustin : Still working on Army Wives. Sorry, I had lots of school related emails today.
Dustin : As usual, the Army Wives post will be up today. I'll be working on it off and on between school work.
Dustin : Swingtown hasn't been renewed officially, and it being a summer show has many speculating it's probably doomed.
Guest_1956 : Dustin, are you saying that Swingtown has been canceled?? I just started liking the show....I did read somewhere that Grant Show was to play Addison's brother on Private Practice, but I thought it was a guest thing...Now I'm really bummed...but I do like your idea about Showtime though
Dustin : The next epi in 2 weeks is the last one unless there is a miracle and it gets renewed. Honestly, I would love to see them put this on Showtime, especially given Weeds next season will be the last.
april : I just watched Swingtown and I have to say that I am really surprised. I thought they would drag this thing out with Susan and Roger longer. I really did think they would be in denile about their feelings for each other.....
Dustin : I gotta watch the show again, I probably missed half of it. However I think she would be happy, I think the problem is she's NOT been happy with Bruce. Oh and the previews next week, dayum!
Guest_1956 : Dustin, can't wait for your writeup on Swingtown...ques tion, do you think Susan will be happy w/Roger..or will he not be enough for this"wild child" ?
Dustin : I just watched this weeks show last night. I am going to try and write something soon.
Guest_1956 : Dustin, have you stopped watching Weeds? I know you have alot of shows to do, but I miss your write ups
Jennifer : LOL I still haven't seen Swingtown or Project Runway cause I'm watching too much Olympics.
Dustin : Finally saw Army Wives. OMG OMG OMG! Writing up as I watch the Olympics

Dustin : The Swingtown update will be up sometime today. BEtween Olympics and Big Brother . . . I've been swamped with TV
Dustin : I read that. Very sad
Guest_2929 : Bernie Mac died this morning. I'll miss him he was hilarious.
Guest_4915 : That's funny, cause I only watch for Molly too...TiVio, Dustin, that's I remember, otherwise I forget too...LOL

Guest_2929 : I forgot today was opening night for the olympics. Did anyone see it? Did they show any sports or was it just opening ceromy?
Dustin : Oh and I did only watch for Molly too lol
Dustin : I'll try and tune in next week. One of the problems is I keep forgetting it's on!
Guest_4915 : I agree with April, in the beginning the show was slow, but it's gotten alot better. Also, I have read that they do not plan on "rushing" the pregnancy..also, it's been picked up for a second season
april : I have to admit that the only reason I turned it on in the first place was because of Molly Ringwald but it is starting to get good. The main girl has come clean about her pregnancy and her dad is screwing around with the "easy" girls mom. The last two episodes have infused some humor. The first couple of shows were kinda slow though... lol
Dustin : I also kept forgetting it was on lol
Dustin : I watched the first few but got bored with it
april : Hey Dustin, I'm sure you don't want to watch another show, but I stumbled upon The Secret Life of a Teenager on Fox Family channel and I have to say that I really like it. They have only shown about 6 episodes and they showed at marathon of all 6 on Tues. It's about a 15 year old girl who is pregnant which doesn't sound like a very promising premis but it was good. I would recommend watching it if you get a chance!
Dustin : Yes, I just have fallen behind in writing about it. It's one of those shows it's hard to write about for me.
Guest_4611 : Dusti, are you still watching Weeds? I love dat show
Dustin : Late start today, will probably have Army Wives up tonight or tomorrow
Dustin : I believe she is, they/ve already started taping.
Guest_3435 : With her pregnancy, is Alison Sweeney going to host The Biggest Loser again?
Dustin : Sorry if you had issues getting to the site thismorning. Something went wacky with the blog database.
Dustin : Whomever once asked, 90210 Season 5 is out this week.
