cbs, what were you thinking?

so many of you may be aware, or saw, the new television show on CBS entitled "Swingtown." i heard they were going to air this new show...all about like in the 70's and the swinging lifestyle...but i honestly didn't think this show would make it to air. was i surprised! the season's first episode aired last evening, and i watched it. the first and last time i will do that. you see, i watched it partly because i was in disbelief, and partly because i wanted to be able to complain about the show without being ignorant of it's content! :)
this new show, broadcasted on primetime network television, shocked and sickened me. it portrayed a married couple with children, who were moving across town, as a bit unhappy, unsatisfied, and ho-hum. upon their arrival at their new house, they were approached by their neighbors to come to their party. at this party...as swinging party... the couple decides on the spot to become swingers. this after the new neighbors tell them it is the oposit of cheating, because everything is on the table.
without sparing you the nasty details, this tv show depicted open drug use and swinging relationships as, well, normal. like that's all the 70's were all about. the images i saw pass through my tv set were awful. i could not believe this was network television! in addition, they depicted some old neighbors of this couple who moved, who declined the invitation to become swingers, as totally unhappy, uptight, angry, sad individuals. it made them look, well, stupid for chosing not to join in.
is anyone else upset about this?
i went to cbs.com and filed a complaint (this trait i get from my ma...let your voice be heard!). in addition, i joined the swingtown message board. and let me tell you, the amount of comments against the show are far out numbered by the people praising the show. i wrote a comment just to have it completely attacked by numerous people...and i suddenly found myself in the middle of a heated debate i could not stay away from (i seem to always do that...).
but anyhow, if you hold the same beliefs as i....that this show is contributing to the demoralization of our society, that it's unnecessarily bringing what was in the dark to light, that it's normailizing this behavior, that it's creating more interest in this lifestyle (don't believe me, check out the message board!), and that it plain doesn't belong on network television, i urge you to file a petition to cbs to get the show off the air. i know it may not do much, but at least we're letting them know how we feel!
