CBS Opens SWINGTOWN on Thursday, May 29, and Creates a FLASHPOINT in July CBS will introduce two new dramas this summer, premiering SWINGTOWN on Thursday, May 29 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) and FLASHPOINT in July. SWINGTOWN, from the director of "Big Love" and "Rome," peeks into the shag-carpeted suburban homes of the culturally transformative '70s to find couples reveling in the sexual and social revolution that introduced women's liberation and challenged conventional wisdom. During this heady era of provocative change, Susan and Bruce Miller move their family to an affluent Chicago suburb where they're confronted with personal choices, experimentation and shifting attitudes, all against the backdrop of a changing social climate defined by its unforgettable music, fashion and style. FLASHPOINT is an emotional journey into the tough, risk-filled lives of a group of cops in the SRU (inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force). It's a unit that rescues hostages, busts gangs, defuses bombs, climbs the sides of buildings and talks down suicidal teens. As they race against the clock to determine what brought these people to their respective breaking points, members of this highly skilled team use their training in negotiating, profiling and getting inside the suspect's head to diffuse the situation to try to save lives. |

Swingtown sounds vaguely interesting. It seems kind of like a more sexed up Knots Landing. |

Some background info on 'Flashpoint', it was originally developed for Canadian television and was picked up by CTV...during the writer's strike, CBS looked into acquiring it. Canadian actor, Enrico Colantoni from Veronica Mars and Just Shoot Me is starring in it. Anyway, I'm rambling about this because a project like this is a big deal in the Canadian media industry, since we usually depend so heavily on American projects to fit our schedules. |
