Default Re: "Swingtown" on CBS?

I'll watch it... just to see.

I have been struck by 2 sidelong glances towards swinging in the TV world just this past week.

In this week's "House" episode, when he presents a girl with the information that her guy is "cheating" on her she tells him well you are accomplished and funny and is obviously rationalizing /considering it, until Dr. House tells her that no, he's cheating on your vegan diet with a cheeseburger. (at which point you infer she dumps him, cause later she's seen on a date with House)

And in the last episode of Grey's Anatomy, George poses the question, "Can you love 2 people?" (he's trying to get over the guilt of sleeping with Izie when he's married to the orthapedist)

I realize that swinging / poly relationships would ruin most of the "conflict" that shows up in prime time TV, but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to see it showcased at least occasionally.
