Here it is. The final episode of a show I expected to mock endlessly and grew to love instead. Thanks for running the entire season, CBS. If there’s any way you can keep it going (hell, move it to Showtime, just don’t cancel it!) I’ll be overjoyed. I have no […]

Swingtown: Surprise! (Sep 4)
We open the second to last episode of this first season (my fault last week for thinking this was the finale!) on Susan wrapping a birthday present for Janet, which she will be receiving at a low-key dinner that night at the Millers. Bruce says Roger’s been a sad sack […]

She awakened with a start, […]
