This started a few weeks on CBS and I love it.
It`s about a neighbourhood getting ready to celebrate the bicentennial in July 1976. Brilliant era and and an excellent soundtrack too.
Keep your eye out for it....it`s a wonderful show what I`ve seen so far
;D

The pilot and early episodes take place in the summer of 1976, when the Miller family relocates from a middle-class suburb to a more affluent suburb on the shore of Lake Michigan north of Chicago. Bruce Miller (Jack Davenport) is a stock trader working his way up in the business, while his wife, Susan (Molly Parker), is a housewife.
Tom and Trina Decker (Grant Show and Lana Parrilla) are the Millers' new neighbors. Tom is an airline pilot for Northwest Airlines, who met Trina while she was a stewardess for the airline. Under rules imposed on stewardesses at the time, Trina was forced to leave the profession when she married Tom. The Deckers have an open marriage lifestyle, and quickly invite Bruce and Susan Miller to participate with them.
Roger and Janet Thompson (Josh Hopkins and Miriam Shor), the Millers' neighbors and friends from their old neighborhood, are envious of the Millers' new affluent neighborhood. They try to maintain their friendship with the Millers, but are appalled when they learn about the Deckers' open marriage lifestyle. Janet, in particular, disapproves of Trina Decker without ever getting to know her, and the two become rivals.
Meanwhile, the Millers' daughter, Laurie (Shanna Collins), explores her relationship with her summer school teacher. Their son, B.J. (Aaron Howles) has a strained friendship with the Thompsons' son, Rick (Nick Benson), as a result of their move, and he befriends Samantha Saxton(Brittany Robertson), an enigmatic girl who lives next door but frequently leaves home due to her mother's frequent visitors.
