The last orginal bone in its body is dying wtih SWINGTOWN. I've read on this board how people tuned into it and didn't like what they saw...I just can't understand why they didn't...the characters are warm and compelling and its' great to see the 1970's again through nostalgic eyes.

CBS tried. America didn't like it as much as you did. Why would you hate CBS?

I tuned in and it was just plain boring. You think something great is going to happen and it's just boring. If it were on Showtime then it might of been better. But on CBS it was boring. Plus I think the cop dramas are much more interesting.

Now CBS is delving deeper into COP SHOWS..these remakes..the MENTALIST...a cop show at its heart..11TH HOUR...basically a cop show at its heart. CBS all criminals and cops all the time. End of rant.
