Swinging in Television & Movies- compiling a list

[JustAskJulie]

Ok, I went through some old threads and I'm trying to put together a pretty comprehensive list of television episodes that feature (or mention) swinging, as well as movies.

Here's what I've got so far: Swingers Board - Swinging on TV and in the Movies
I still need some episode titles for many of the shows, and I'm sure there are some shows missing and I'm missing most of the episode titles. So help me out?!

I think King of Queens, had at least 2 shows, that had swingers involved.

Rosan did kiss the girl on one show, if that counts

How about Friends.....Swinging single

The All in the Family episode was titled "The Bunkers and the Swingers" and first aired in 1972. I remember seeing it in reruns as a kid, but need to go back and watch it again now!

The episode won an Emmy for Best Writing in a Comedy Series.

This is from imbd using keyword searches. The only one I have seen was Consenting Adults which did have a swinging component but was more of a muder mystery IIRC

The Ice Storm (1997)
Score (1973)
Promises! Promises! (1963)
Consenting Adults (1992)
Inside Amy (1975)
Fun: Can Be Dangerous Sometimes (2005)

This list is from the wikipedia entry on swinging

Snow White and the 7 Dwarves

The VH1 The Sexual Revolution series dealt with swinging in some detail in Episodes 3 and 4. Can't remember about the first two episodes, been a while since I've seen them.

[vegaskid]

Does anyone have a copy of The Dutch movie Swingers (2002)?

[vewybadcpl]

wow I don't know any of these episode names sorry but here goes.

That 70's where Red and Kitty go to a "key" party with Red's friend Bull from the war.
There was a bbc show "coupling" that had swinging touched on in two different episodes.

First Patrick is going to dump his current girl until she mentions the idea of a 3 some. Patrick just doesn't realize she is meaning mmf with her, Patrick, and Jeff.
The other is when a competitve friend of Patrick's "Ivan", want to know if Patrick would be interested in "swapping wives".

A friend told me about a children's classic that had swinger overtones.

It was "The Grinch that stole Christmas" the little characters were going into a house and putting their keys in a fish bowl. This is the old cartoon version.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but there is the reality show called "Wife Swap", the title alone is cool.

[2inVT]

An episode of 2 and a Half Men where Charlie and Alan's mother admits to swinging in the 60s - which is why she and her old gf don't want Charlie to sleep with the friend's daughter, since they might be half-siblings.

Also, there was an episode of Dharma and Greg where Greg's parents mistakenly think that the "swap meet" that Dharma's parents invite them to is for wife swapping.

[2inVT]

Oh, almost forgot. There was a Nip/Tuck episode where some of the characters went to a swingers' club.

There were at least 2 different episodes in two different seasons of Nip/Tuck. On in Season 1 I think where Christian and Kimber go to a swing party, and then in the most recent season, an actor on the soap that Sean is working on mentions that he's going to a swing party and after mentioning it to his gf, Sean and his actress gf go to the party, resulting in him practically running out the door as she stands in awe.

Found the two episode titles for the Nip/Tuck shows. It was "Cliff Montegna" from season 1 and "Chaz Darling" from season 5

Hey I remember that episode from That 70's Show. Makes us really sad/mad to watch that one. When we first saw that episode we both were in high school so just treated it as another funny episode. But it's really sad how Bull is shown as a "bad" person for swinging who gets lucky in life and Red being the hard worker is always getting screwed over.

[Chitowndk4u]

I remember that All In The Family episode. I am a huge fan of the show. I also saw the Nip/Tuck episode, it was interesting.

I never paid attention to the Grinch thing.

[realcplub2]

there was an episode of Journeyman, that aired last fall, that had him "Leaping/Jumpin" into a swingers party, Fish Bowl full of keys on the TV..

The main plot theme is Where the Daughter comes home from college early, finds out the HORRIBLE truth, as her mother is in bed getting laid while Daddy is wrapped up with another woman in the other room..

Of course the negative takes place , the girl freaks runs away and the Journeyman has to set her back on the right path..
