Marmot: Swingtown is lame.
Manatee: It's so ridiculous. I don't think any of the writers have families because they have no idea what it is like to be a part of family drama. It's so forced and completely absurd.
Marmot: Bruce and Susan are terrible, terrible parents. So are Roger and Janet, actually. I haven't seen them interact with their son since the pilot. Actually, when you think about it, the only people I would trust with a child are Tom and Trina, which is kind of ironic.
Manatee: That is funny. They might see an orgy or 2 but at least they'd have food and something of normal parental love. This show has become boring. Do you think CBS said,” tone it down,” or was it a flawed premise to begin with?
Marmot: I'm pretty sure it's the toning down. I think all the sponsors got scared away. There was an ad for Time Life Books or something similar during the last episode. In prime time television!
Manatee: I don't think there is anyway this show is coming back for a season 2, and frankly, I'm not that disappointed.
Marmot: Me either. The only thing I'm interested in is to see if Roger and Susan get together.
Manatee: Well, the previews for next Friday night show Roger kissing Susan! Whether they screw over their respective partners and get together, I'm not sure... but it looks like Roger is taking the plunge.
Marmot: Holy crap! It's only episode 10! Where is this show going?
Manatee: I think there are only 12 total anyhow, so they probably feel the pressure of wrapping it up. These days so many shows don't come back that you almost feel like every season finale needs to be a series finale.
Marmot: I think writings staffs need to plan on telling as complete a story as possible in their initial order. There's nothing worse than being a fan of a show and the proverbial rug gets pulled out from under you.
Manatee: Where would you like to see the next 2 episodes go?
Marmot: I'd like to see Roger and Susan hook up and live happily ever after, Bruce go back to Pirates of the Caribbean where he belongs, Janet go to live with Tom and Trina for the rest of their lives and the daughter given a nose.
