A pastor friend of mine brought this to my attention and I was appalled! He copied an excerpt that is on the bottom of this post of a new show entitled, Swingtown. You may be like me and haven’t heard of it.
This show glamorizes open sex, porn, drug use and rips at the core of the institution of marriage. As a new mom it upsets me even more to see what is bombarding our children today.
Please contact your local station manager and let him know how you feel!
From Swingtown 1st show….
“Last Thursday CBS premiered a new summer program, “Swingtown” which is being touted by the network as “intriguing, summer fun”.
“There is nothing “fun” about the show - rather it is repugnant and destructive and one of the worst, if not the worst, show we’ve seen on network television. “Swingtown”, set in 1976, portrays “open marriage” and group sex as not only commonplace, but also as a boost for marital intimacy. And it ignores the facts regarding the addictive, damaging impact of pornography and gives the message that porn use, even by young boys, is no big deal.
The show opens with Tom, a married commercial pilot, bringing home a young stewardess to engage in group sex with his wife, Trina. The three are shown in bed together, as he has sex with the stewardess.
Another scene is of two boys approximately 13 years old. One of the boys finds a large box of his father’s porn magazines in the basement and they are shown ogling copies of Penthouse. When the father catches them with a magazine, he simply tells his son and the son’s friend,”Don’t let your mother catch you with this. She’ll have a coronary on the spot.” He then proceeds to hand the magazine back to his young son with a pat on the head.”

Amy, thank you for posting this. I got a message from Steve on facebook about it too. But, I haven't emailed yet. (shame on me!) I'm assuming I need to find out who the local manager is here in GA? Or do I use the email addresses you provided?
YIKES, thats crazy!! I will definitely spread the word too... you should send an email out to the extended small group. Thanks for informing us!!
Hi Teec!! I'm sorry we are playing phone tag. Let's not give up!! Oh, and good point...yes, you have contact your local manager.
When you place this TV Program against the backdrop of the war we are engaged in, i.e. Iraq, rumors of war, i.e. Iran, earthquakes, floods, the hatred of Israel, starvation and the decline of Christian values which this country was founded on i.e. partial abortion and the decline of the influence of America across the globe one has to wonder about the fullfillment of prophecy. All great empires have fallen from within and my overall concern is for this country and where we seem to be headed. This TV Program is just a symptom of a more serious problem. I worry for my children and my grandson when I look at this picture. Just some thoughs!!!
Totally agree with you Dad V! That is why we have to do our part in areas such as these. One battle at a time no matter how small the victory may seem.
MMMM HMMM, girl. You betta say dat. Don't get ME started. Way to promote awareness. Waaaaay to promote awareness!
