Grant Show to swing both ways on CBS's "Swingtown"?

Grant Show first took our breath away (as he did Kelly Taylor's) on an episode of 90210, which was of course the launching pad for the ultra campy, soon-to-become-legendary Melrose Place. He oozed sex appeal and as Jake Hanson he bedded every woman on the show ... and gave every gay man in America something to think about in bed every night.

Luckily, Show is back on television in CBS's new retro-drama hit Swingtown and while some things seem the same (he's still sexy as hell and shirtless in a pool), some things have clearly changed.

Set outside Chicago at the Bicentennial, Show plays Tom Decker, one half of a suburban swinger couple that seduces anything that moves, including their new neighbors, and apparently a man or two.

According to a recent Associated Press article, Grant will be swinging his bat for both teams:

"When Trina Decker's ex-boyfriend pops up around episode six with aspirations of rekindling their high school romance, he ends up bedding both of the Deckers.

"Trina and I pretty much do everything together," says Show, flashing a grin that exaggerates his 'stache. "That, I think, is the craziest thing I've done on the show. It's probably going to flip America up and down the most. It's sort of left to the audience as to how far that goes, but I think that's going to be controversial."

Raise your hands if Swingtown just went from "must see TV" to "must DVR and rewatch over and over TV". If the creators of the show and CBS are paying attention, please write in some man-on-man action between Show's Decker and the repressed Roger Thompson (played by the ever-so-handsome Josh Hopkins); now that would be dy-no-mite!

Thanks to Sister Shoelace for the tip!
