I got there first, CBS!
June 3rd, 2008
“Swingtown,” the period drama from CBS, premiers in 2 days and the reviews are decidedly…mixed. Which is a shame because I have a lot invested in the “swinging couples” genre of TV shows.
“Swingtown” was created by Mike “The O.C.” Kelly and follows the adventures of an attractive couple that leaves their straight-laced friends behind, moving to an affluent suburb and taking up swinging and drugs.
Bloggy readers, you may remember I too had a show about swinging couples living in an affluent suburb. “Sexual Intercourse: American Style” premiered on the prestigious internet in 2006 and was seen and enjoyed by literally thousands of people. So don’t get so smug, CBS, ‘cause I got there first.
Actually, I’m a little nervous, because I just sent off “Sexual Intercourse: American Style” for consideration in the New York Television Festival, and I imagine the judges thinking, “why the hell did someone submit a ‘Swingtown’ parody?”
Oh well. For those who are fans of the show, I recently uploaded some outtakes of Curtis Gwinn and Dyna Moe from episode 5. Enjoy:

Thank you, Mitch, this is wonderful. Has it really been two years?
Dyna can keep a straight face like no other.

Sue them and watch as they pay a massive hush-money settlement, then you can retire on the profits.

Music gets stuck in my head, but never words – until now! “Big steamy dump.” will be there for awhile. The good news? Every time I hear the words, I’ll laugh. Hysterical!
