Cabin Fever was another pleasantly good episode of "Swingtown"
tavm7 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This was another pretty good episode of "Swingtown" with the three couples of Bruce and Susan, Roger and Janet, Tom and Trina making it a threesome (not in THAT way!) with Janet and Trina having some kind of truce especially after everyone eats Janet's brownies-that Trina laced-after Susan spilled the beans about that. On the teens side, Laurie invites her teacher for dinner. He arrives late after the food was eaten but stays to watch Double Indemnity with her. After he tells her nothing can come of that kiss, Laurie tells him that he's only her instructor for the next two weeks. As the teacher leaves, he's seen by Laurie's former boyfriend who looks jealous. And Ricky, B.J., and Samantha spend some time at her mom's pool with them all listening to some bootleg KISS from Holland. As Ricky gets drunk, B.J. and Samantha talk about how the neighborhood becomes "freak central". Oh, and when the women sleep in one room with the men in the other, Trina admits to some loneliness concerning Tom's upcoming flights to Tokyo...Nice to see Janet get a little loose in this episode and Trina not push her "buttons" so much. Once again, I'm glad not to see the Laurie-Teach relationship pushed much further, at least not for now. And can I say, seeing Grant Show-who I've been familiar with since "Melrose Place"-with that '70s mustache is such a hoot to watch especially when he asks Janet when she's serving lemonade, "Hey good lookin', what's cookin'?" In summation, "Swingtown" is one of the more pleasant surprises on television this summer. Can't wait for the next episode...

episode 3 best yet

This was the best episode by far. It highlights both TRINA and JANET who are the driving force behind the series. In this episode we find out what would happen if the three couples spent the night in one cabin in the woods with a "twist." Still can't feel anything for SUSAN and her boring husband. Can't wait to see more of the male plot developments.

Grant Show shirtless splitting logs in the country for Janet's amusement was priceless. The evening gets more fun as Janet loosens up, but guess what it takes to get that iron maiden to loosen up. It's also nice having Janet around for the next morning because she's always handy in the kitchen with the next surprise...

BREAKFAST !!!
