It takes a promo and maybe 15 minutes for me to see all I need to see of Swingtown. Of all the retro shows, it is so classily done. Not just an homage or a comedic review, Swingtown hits its zeitgeist spot on because its home network caters almost exclusively to that demographic: 50 year old and up middle-Americans. I love how the show I love the most on the network I connect with the least is about a show about loving, being open; liberals. I love the shows the network promotes during the break: Flashpoint, a drama showcasing a city's law enforcement "heroes" -- it's SWAT team/snipers. The other show, Eleventh Hour is a horror (terror) scifi mash-up.
All of the shows CBS wants you to watch late at night are the shows that par on other networks. Whatever CBS, you're not fooling anybody. Act your age.
