Molly Parker, Swingtown
Molly Parker likes playing pioneering women. On the mean streets of Deadwood (circa 1876), she was headstrong Alma Garret, and now on Swingtown (circa 1976), she's open-minded suburbanite Susan Miller. Parker talked with us about the buzz surrounding her new series — and no, it wasn't generated by that wacky '70s weed. (Swingtown airs Thursdays at 10 pm/ET, CBS.)
TV Guide: Swingtown is creating a stir.Molly Parker: It's interesting. Clearly the show doesn't shy away from sexual subject matter. But it's not a show about sex, it's a show about the inside of these marriages.
TV Guide: Any '70s memories? Parker: My memories are those of a child. I grew up in Canada on a farm. I remember the music, the clothes... it was a much freer time. I have no memory of swin

All the sex, that is? Clad in my '70s-feel Adidas track jacket and ringer tee, I asked Grant Show and Molly Parker about their saucy new series, and whether the rumor is true that CBS is toning down Swingtown's tawdrier content. Grab a friend (...or two) and enjoy the video!

CBS announced on Wednesday that Swingtown, which, until the strike hit, was supposed to launch midseason, now will get a summer debut. The nontraditional launch time for a scripted series, executive producer Carol Barbee tells the Reporter, actually "is perfect for Swingtown since the pilot takes place on the Bicentennial Fourth of July." Ahh, memories of me donning knickers for a Rogers Elementary School play....Swingtown, for those who can't remember back to last May's upfronts (when it was first brandished), follows couples experimenting with sexual and social mores in 1970s Chicago. It's like The Ice Storm minus the nympho Christina Ricci. It does star, however, Grant Show, Josh Hopkins (Brothers & Sisters), Miriam Shor (The West Wing), Jack Davenport (Pirates of the Caribbean), Molly Parker (Deadwood) and Lana Parrilla (Boomtown).
