I had one too and it was driving me nuts trying to think of the name. They need to watch their soundtrack though -- they keep throwing in songs from the late 70s. They did it again on the second episode. And with the exception of Grant Show and whoever plays his wife, this has to be the plainest cast on tv.

I'm watching for the clothes, the decor, the lifestyles, everything. I don't think it was too unrealistic for Molly Parker's character to decide to accept a quaalude on the spur of the moment. I say that because my mother, who was 42 in '76, admitted to me (much later) that she and my dad were on vacation at a resort and they were in a hotel suite having drinks with several couples, when someone pulled out a joint and my parents decided to give it a try. Surprised the heck out of me. I'm pretty sure they were never swingers, though. (And they're both dead, so if it happened, I'll never have to find out!) The characters on the show are right in between the ages my parents and I were at the time. My husband and I both smoked pot way back when, but we didn't do other stuff (ok, I tried 1/2 a quaalude once). Anyway, I'll keep watching for at least a few more episodes. See how many memories are jarred loose from the memory bank. I was thinking of watching this show.. but forgot. Now I'm just watching Lil Smarty Pants! <3

I understand her character, but she just drives me up the wall with her smug attitude and cliched as hell storyline. And she's also kind of... unfortunate looking.

Grant Show's wife is way, way too muscular and sinewy to pull off a 70's low-rider bikini and make it look authentic. Exactly! This is the look I was thinking of..... very slender but much less muscular. It's almost like her skin is just draped over her skeleton. eta - heh.... Here is what a real what's-her-face (Trina?) might have looked like. Last Edited By: Magdalyn 06/20/08 3:46 AM. Edited 1 times.

The show grinds to a complete halt with her scenes with the teacher. Can someone tell me how old she is supposed to be? High School? college? Because she looks like she's 27, and should be sisters with her "Mom".

I think it's her nose that throws it over to the ugly side. In any case, she's definitely interesting looking, and she shares similarities with the mom, so I can see why they cast her. Bruce is definitely the hottest hubby on the show.

Bruce is definitely the hottest hubby on the show. It's just the whole face. I really want to fast forward when they put the daughter on. Teacher looks younger than her! That's a creepy storyline, I hope they make it go away.

Ep 1's on CBS here, so I'd watch that first. You won't lose too much if you don't, though. Yeah, the high schooler with the teacher is an annoying storyline. Weird looking, too, I agree, but she looked great in the opening scene in those shorts. And it's annoying me that any time stuffy Janet the cute swinger wife are in the same room, the writers go out of their ways to manufacture catfight drama. Still, this show's got something to it. BTW, I hope you fellow Deadwood cocksuckers recognize Alma Garrett as the redheaded mommy.

Agreeance wuth AMT that besides the hot neighbors, plainest cast ever. Hell, I'd do the chick that plays GS wife and I'm pretty straight.

Good retro piece to get me in the mood for Mad Men's return. While I enjoy the writing, direction and cast, I'm distracted by the constant soundtrack. It is like being hit over the head with a nostalgia hammer in every fucking scene. There are a lot of directions this could go and sub-plots to explore. I agree it would be better on cable, but kudos to CBS for putting sex and drugs into prime time! I also find myself questioning the authenticity,although I'm sure they had a team of researchers: Was that phone really available in 1976? The Playboy in episode 3 was September '73: but they fucked up big time with the Penthouse in the premiere as it is a 1978 issue ( September ) ... :

Hey, It's been a long time but I couldn't agree more. Don't forget Elijah Wood and Tobey Maguire, they made that a great movie.

Man I just bought a fondue pot and want to return it. It was very flimsy and I want a better one. Where can I get a good one.
