(S01E02) So, now things are starting to get interesting with Bruce and Susan and Tom and Trina and Janet and Roger. Oh, and there were also Brad and Sylvia who look great doing the hustle, and Paul and Martha who will never be invited back to the Thompsons after that awful dinner.
All in all, I'm getting hooked on
Swingtown. It's a soap, no doubt about that. Being in 1976 is a time and a place and a specific social setting, but ultimately this show is about these characters and their intertwined lives. It's a serialized drama and rather addictive. More about the show after the jump, including all the happenings from tonight's show.

It'll be one more time around for a
Wonder Years alumna and a
Felicity fave.
Fred Savage and Amy Smart have both been cast in CBS pilots. For Fred, who for me may have peaked as an actor as Kevin Arnold (although I did love him in
Austin Powers in Goldmember playing Number Three -- the guy with the mole on his face), the new project on tap is
Single White Millionaire. The sitcom is from the pen of writer Ricky Blitt, one of the
Family Guy scribes, so that's a plus. The plot is described as the story of an unassuming, thirtysomething millionaire ready to settle down -- and obviously looking for the right lady to share his life (although I guess he could be looking for a significant other of either gender -- the project line leaves it open).

I'm a bit late with this, so forgive me, but it's still worth mentioning.
The podcast Just My Show recently interviewed Marion Ross of Happy Days and Dan Lauria of The Wonder Years.
The interviewer is no Jesse Thorn, and he doesn't so much ask questions as just mention items from the interviewees past and ask for comments, but it's still a pleasure to hear these two TV parents talk about their roles.

Bob talked last month about Fred Savage's new show, Crumbs, which
debuts tomorrow night at 9:30EST on ABC. Bob didn't have a lot of info on the show at that time, but thanks to a
great interview with Savage over
on CNN, we now have more Fredtabulous scoop for you. Crumbs is a show about a dysfunctional family (I know,
shocking to have a dysfunctional family in a sitcom, but bear with me). Jane Curtin plays the mom, who just got
released from the mental hospital. Dad (William Devane) is expecting a baby with his girlfriend. One son is dead, one
(Eddie McClintock) stuck around to run the family restaurant, and the third (Savage) is a gay prodigal son returning
home from a failed Hollywood career.
