'Swingtown' experiment is on


March 05, 2008 "Swingtown" will debut Thursday, May 29 at 10 p.m. CBS is also planning to launch another scripted show during the off-season, the drama "Flashpoint" –- a 13-episode co-production from CBS Paramount Network Television and Canada's CTV about an elite tactical police team. With a few rare exceptions, like Fox's teen drama "The O.C.," scripted broadcast programming launched during the summer withers in the Nielsen ratings. A network's holding of a midseason series until summer typically signals a lack of confidence in the show.
