Jack Davenport from Coupling and oh yeah this little movie series Pirates of the Caribbean is joining Grant Show – remember him from Melrose? in the hot new CBS summer series Swingtown about the free-wheeling 70s before AIDS when open marriage, wife swapping and hot tubs were the rage. Here are a slew of promos for the new show- I think that the folks at CBS programming asked their Showtime counterparts to help out- this is more Californication than CSI- sorry no boobs on network programming.

 

Want to read more about life in the Swinging 70s? Read The Serial- the quintessential comic novel about the swingers lifestyle. Set in San Francisco’s neighbor to the north Marin County you can get a glimpse into an innocent era of experimentation and pushing the boundaries before AIDS and terrorism and the 80s swept away the last vestiges of the 60s era of hope and free love.
