I do not consider myself a prude, far from it actually. However I'm seriously shocked at the things on tv now. From the KY lube commercials to this new show called Swingtown. I know my parents are human, but I really don't want to know what they and our friends and neighbors may have been up to in the seventies! Bleh! There were always block parties and get togethers, I don't want to know what kind of crazy games they played around the fondue pot! I don't know, I'm just seriously shocked at what these networks get away with ! Does the FCC still exist? LMAO

times have changed and you are not a prude, they are using shock value to get point across, some of the stuff on tv and commercials is uncalled for

I know! It's such a shame when I'm watching tv with my nephews and I don't need to worry about the programming, but I DO have to be careful with what commercial may come on next!

Hey!! Hows come no one is responding to this thread! No way Frank and I are the only two people with an opinion!! C'mon people!! Have you SEEN previews for this show? It's not like its on HBO or Skinemax! It's on ABC or some main channel like that, and Disney is ABC's parent company! LMAO How about that?! Old Walt's probably rolling over in his grave! This is like having a show of swingers residing in Mr. Rogers' Land of Makebelieve! LMAO

Count me in on this one. DD16 and I sat down to watch Swingtown the 1st night it was on. I thought it would be a great opportunity for her to learn about the 70's. Oh my goodness! I was embarrassed seeing the 1st few minutes of that with DD16. Off went the TV.
The Sopranos would have been better for us to watch. No, I'm not a prude either but I think some shows and commercials are pushing the limits. I did have a thread about that creepy KY commercial and was stumped when DDs asked what it was. DD18 thought it was some new technological thing. LOL. She freaked when I told her, ever so gently, that it was a personal lubricant. She wanted to write to the TV station and let them know that it's prime time and kids do watch TV. |

That show is going to be cancelled, mark my words. I watched about 30 seconds and changed channels.
