Swingtown

[Flash]

Can't believe I'm watching. It's kind of like a train wreck.

But it's Jake. Friggin' Jake from Melrose Place. With a 70s porn stache.

Jake.

This show is awesome, and Grant Show and his mustache are a tour de force in every scene.

 

[Cadet]

GRANT SHOW!? I'm changing the channel. 15 minutes left.

 

[Cadet]

And of course they just used the "Roller Skate Key" song ... are they TRYING to be Boogie Nights?

If you didn't grow up in the 70s I imagine there might be limited interest, but I love the "artifacts" from the 70s, the topper for me was a kid playing Gnip-Gnop.

Too bad this goes against "Fear Itself." Hopefully it comes out on DVD, b/c it looked pretty good.

 

[Bubbler]

I want to watch this show if for no other reason than it appears to be awesomely bad.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Swing as in trading sexual partners or swing as in dancing?

Swing as in a baseball bat. Sorry. It's an update of Bay City Blues.

We've already way had this thread, but I'm too lazy and/or drunk to look it up.

I <3 Bubbler.

Damn, I see the promos and want to see it, but something else always comes up and I forget to have it taped. Then again, 70s stuff isn't always done so well on television. There was a rare shaky Cold Case in which the vic was the disco king of a bar that was torched

 

[Armchair_QB]

I tried to watch but I could hear my IQ dropping so I changed the channel.

 

[shockey]

it is awesomely bad. like a car wreck you have to peer at if you come across it.

 

[Flash]

I've been watching Melrose Place reruns and I never realized back then what a terrible actor Grant Show is.

I do now.

For family viewing, there's always
"That 70s show"


To avoid paying for the Playboy Channel, there's
"Swingtown"

I'm not down with text speak. Is that a heart? Or is it a breast-shaped ice cream cone that fell on its side?

Must be tough, trying to find Beta tapes these days.

He has to set up a video camera and film the television screen.

'Tis a sideways heart.
