From the Emmy® nominated director of Six Feet Under, all 13 episodes of SWINGTOWN ™-The First Season arrive on DVD as a four-disc set.

A flashback to the suburban summertime of 1976 when America’s sexual revolution was at its height, SWINGTOWN ™ mixes sexy plot lines alongside family drama and real-life issues faced by married couples. Superbly acted and critically adored, the show features arousing performances from Grant Show (Melrose Place™, Ryan’s Hope) and Molly Parker (Deadwood, Six Feet Under) as it follows three couples exploring new freedoms and seeking connections with each other through open marriages, “key parties” and other swinger’s extravaganzas.

Boasting incredible nostalgic detail in design and clothing, SWINGTOWN™ also stars Jack Davenport (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End), Lana Parrilla (24), Josh Hopkins (Brothers & Sisters) and Miriam Shor (Big Day).

Bonus features include “The Spirit of ‘76: The Making of SWINGTOWN,” which walks audiences through how producers authentically re-created 1976 through production design, costumes, hair and makeup, and “Have a Nice Revolution: Sex & Morality in 1970s America,” a thematic piece chronicling the show’s major real-life influences – the sexual revolution, feminism, disillusionment post-Watergate, the economy and the advent of recreational drug use. The set also contains a gag real, deleted scenes and audio commentaries by Director Alan Poul and Series Creator Mike Kelley.

I’d give you my personal review of Swingtown The First Season, but I ran into a bit of a snag- the deadline for posting the information about the DVD came and went, and well, I lost the DVD. I know it’s in the house somewhere! But I’ve looked in all the usual places where I might put a DVD, like the entertainment center, the shelves where we actually put our DVDs, and the bookshelf, and I can’t find it anywhere. So my apologies for just posting info from the press release. If you watched Swingtown, feel free to tell me in a comment what you thought of the show.
