Anyone Watch Swingtown?

[wolf]

Thanks to richlevy I have now seen at least one episode, and am hoping to catch some more on OnDemand. Although it's not the kind of thing that I usually watch (I'm more of a Law and Order person), I did find it interesting.

I entering high school at around the time that the show is set. I was having some product flashbacks (like seeing the old Stove Top boxes), but there was a glaring (to me) error in the episode I saw (which was the go to the disco have sex in the pool while the kids are playing strip poker episode. Of course, not knowing the program, this could happen in every episode ...)

Anyway, one of the male characters was seeing his shrink, and she was talking about his "mid life crisis." I'm pretty sure that we didn't start having mid-life crises until sometime in the eighties, you know, after preppies, but before yuppies?

It was just plain middle age then ... there wasn't a special name for dumping your wife and buying a motorcycle.

Unless it was "Second Childhood."

And I kind of remember starting to hear about "the male menopause."
