I AM REALLY UPSET WITH THIS NEWS…I THOUGHT THIS CONCEPT WAS BRILLIANT AND EXPECTED IT TO DO WELL. THE CAST WAS GREAT AND EVERTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW WAS WONDERFUL. THE FASHION, HISOTRY, MUSIC & LIFESTYLE PEOPLE LED IN THE 70′S WAS EXCELLENT. I AM TRULY SHOCKED BY THE NEWS AND HOPE THAT CBS WILL RE-CONSIDER THEIR DECISION….& IF NOT I HOPE ANOTHER NETWORK PICKS THEM UP, BECAUSE I AM LEFT WANTING SO MUCH MORE!

I think even though this show is a little out there, thats what makes it so great. So many shows on right now are all the same. This is a great show and it needs to stay on so there is a little variety on tv.

This show is AMAZING and original. The show is unlike many others out today. The storyline is very unique and it is something for people who are outside of the mainstream and are tired of the same old shows/concepts.

We record and watch on Tuesdays (nothing else is on). I love the 70’s feel and freedom of the show…just what we need today.

Praise God…Its about time the voice of family values was heard. Its no wonder the moral values of America are going down the toilet, when the major networks choose to air shows about wife swapping durning primetime. As for the person that said this show was just what we need today, I hate to hear that you feel this way. You obviously don’t have children who you want to see grow up and have a healthy marriage to one woman. I pray for the people of America who are too blind to see the effects of such shows on our children. I pray that God continues to remove programs from our airwaves that promote such horrific moral values.

God isn’t removing the show CBS is! I think its horrible that they are taking it off air. One of my favorite dramas that really keeps me entertained and wanting more. Whats wrong with a show that shows as something different? Not only are there real life issues like a loveless marriage, and unplanned pregnancies, but there is also the love between people. This show promotes confronting problems head on. It consistently encourages communication. Sure there is scandal and drama, but thats what makes it interesting; this show appears to remain true to life.

Surely not! This is the coolest show on TV. How could it be cancelled? It brings back so many memories of the 70s. Maybe CBS needs to get rid of some of their other STUPID “reality” shows that no one watches. No one really watches those shows. People watch TV to escape “reality!” I thought CBS was making a REAL change. I guess we’ll all have to go to cable or the other networks to watch primo TV. Oh well…..CBS loses again! Get rid of the decision makers CBS or you’ll go straight down the drain! Oh yeah, take Katie with you! She’s not been the same since she joined you guys!

You say they obviously dont have children if they think this show is “what we need today”? Well you are obviously not a very attentive parent when you think that this show is intended for kids. You should probably be paying more attention to what your children are watching and not be worrying about how tv shows are inevitably destroying the morals and values needing to be instilled in todays youth. Morals and values start in the home and not in the media. This show is not a reality series. I think you might be confused about that. This show depicts an era that is unmistakably similar to the one we find ourselves in today. Changes and corruption, defiance and lobbying, tragedies and overcoming the odds. You should not deny yourself the knowledge of the past, no matter how immoral it is, just because of self righteousness. If you do not believe it is possible to control your own children to not watch a simple hour long tv show, then maybe you should just get rid of your tv, because the events and happenings in todays world that is being depicted in news programs everywhere are far more immoral than some tv show. This was great program and should only be viewed by adults. And by adults, I mean people who can view this show for pleasure only and not for life’s moral lessons.

Sux! How come everytime i get interested in a show someone comes alone to shut it down! Plz dont cancel!!!!
Juliette | Sep 9, 2008 | Reply
I totally agree with Nena!!! This always happens to me too, every show that I actually get into, ends up getting cancelled. That makes me mad that they are cancelling it, its a really really good show, I would wait all week for the next episode. I never was that interested in the 70’s era, until this show. I think that this show is way better than Thats 70’s show, I rarely watched that show when it was really popular. PLEASE dont cancel it.(At the beginning I loved Trina and didnt like Janet much, but at the end I just fell in love with Janets character, the cast really did a very good job, and the script was excellent!) PLEASE try at least one more season with this show!!!!!

Wow get the preacher out! Wow cause god has controle over what goes on the television LOL dumbest thing i heard all my life, go join the Parents Television Council cause no one wants to here about you not being a good parent who watches their children, oh by the way there are children locks on television, oh and to add to your non knowing of anything, dont hide things from children, cause when they grow up it screws them up even more, and then they rebell so shut up and learn how to use teh child lock on your television.
Swingtown was truly an amazing show, it was very different, and makes me wanto have grown up in that era even though i would die wiht out a cell phone, and a computer. I cannot believe that it would get cancelled in deserves another chance, then you have networks that keep comming out with CSI’s and yet they get renewed, cut it down to one csi cause it is all the same shit anyways. But if they renew Flashpoint that will be the final straw. that show is boring and i have already seen it a million different times with a different name.

No one got shot or killed, no weird CSI camera work, just a brilliant show that really captured the Spirit of 1976. I love Swingtown, it was one of the best shows ever on TV. I knew some God Freaks would kill it. They seem to hate and help destroy anything that isn’t “Disney for Adults”. TV sucks because everything seems like it is rated G. Adult themes on American TV? You better be talking about someone getting killed and their murder investigated, because that is all “these people” want us to see (Bible bangers and Network bigwigs). It’s to bad that this country can’t allow anything interesting on TV.

In response to the Jesus Freak above, irony is lost on the Christian Right. You think America’s morals are going down the toilet because of a TV show today, ignoring the fact that the show is portraying what grown adults were doing FORTY YEARS AGO! So if America’s morals are gone, apparently you just got the memo.
As I can imagine where your political leanings aim, and since family morality is so important to you, I have a question for you:

I am so upset to hear about this. I wish the network would consider moving it to a cable outlet where it obviously needs to be. The subject matter is indeed of an adult theme, and it seems to be like Showtime or HBO would be a better venue. This would enable more thorough character development as well as allowing the show to explore its subject matter without the restraints of network TV. I am a HUGE fan of this show and have begun turning many of my friends on to it. One thing I have found to be of interest is how many of my friends already are watching it, but weren’t admitting it until I brought it up. There is probably a larger audience than what people think and I wish the network would give serious consideration to moving the show to a more appropriate outlet. I am going to miss this one…

Oh man ya cant cancel i love this show! remember what a big mistake it was when they cancelled family guy after a couple season and it was the most popular dvd seller and then finally a couple years later they brought it back. That is what is gonna happen to this show. Finally a break from reality tv and ten versions of csi’s
and they have to cancel pshhhhhh

Shawn,
ok, this is crap. im only 16 and i watch this show religously to say its corrupting our youth is disrespect to me. yes i have morals and a mind of my own. i love this show!! after watching it have no doubt in my mind i want a lasting monoagamous relationship. ive always wanted that and watching this show its done nothing to change my mind. if you really think they should take it off the air incase your children may see it, maybe you should watch your children better!!! block it if u must but it should be aroudn for those who still want to view this amazing show!!! my mom doesnt like me watching it but history is my fav thing and this shows me stuff they would never put in a text book!!! its wonderful and to say what you’ve said is insane!!
~here’s my thought: block it, or just keep an eye on your children…problem solved.

Please bring it back next season! We love this show. Like Josh had said, it’s not like 75% of the shows that are on the air now. No killing, guns, forensics, just plain old drama. This is a great show. We record it every week and we are on the edge of our seats trying to figure out what’s going to happen next. It’s controversal yes, but that is what’s good about it. Keeps you guessing and you have something to talk about until the next episode. This is our favorite Primetime show! Please don’t cancel Swingtown! Keep it going. Take it to HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, whatever. I will be glad to pay the extra for a premium channel to watch this awesome show!

I truly hope a cable network buys this show as it is psychologically fascinating and a wonderfully nostalgic setting for those of us who grew up in the 70s. This show exudes good morals — only someone who doesn’t watch the show would say something negative about it. The happiest couple is the one where the husband and wife are the most committed to and in love with each other and there are consequences for every action for those who misstep. Sometimes it is helpful to learn from watches other make mistakes so we don’t have to — and it’s safest when they’re a TV character. Look back at all of the good classic literature out there and you will find story after story of people making “immoral” choices and what consequences befell them. Please keep this show on the air - I love this show!

I really like this show. I was disappointed that it was not on longer. This show is how things were in the 70’s, it is really cool to see how things were when my parents were in their prime. There are so many shows out there that just don’t catch my eye…but this show was really eye popping. I did not know how I would like it…but after the first show, I was hooked. Please don’t take this show off the air. I love it. I am a CSI and Friends Fan. I lost friends, and CSI is losing main characters, I need this show. It is my new love.

Loved the show, loved the fashion, we were teenagers in the 70’s, and it brought back so
many memories. Looked forward to Friday nights, told all of our friends to watch it, I don’t think it had a fair chance, by the time some
viewers were getting into it, the season was over. Moving it to Friday nights was a good decision, but ratings might have been effected with the schedule change. Please give it a Season 2, we miss it already.

COME ON CBS! give shows a chance. Swingtown was fun, unique, great stories, smart character developement, and hot women. I am SO dissappointed with all networks these days. If they do not see major viewership after a few episodes they move it. Then if that move does not work they move it again or just shut it down. Whatever happened to building on viewership and season the show-allowing people to catch on. I am VERY disappointed in CBS if they cancel another great show like Swingtown.

W.T.F. People are just afraid to look at themselves in the mirror. I guess the show is to intense for people who have crushes on their friends wives or husbands. Or who has a husband who finds someone attractive. Its a tragedy that a well written show that deals with real life america is being shunned by a bunch of people and a network who can’t face the truth. Here’s the truth to everybody who thinks this show needs to be canceled. Your partner probably does or has already had sex with someone else then you. And yes there are people out there who enjoy life in other ways then yelling at their kids. Jack said it best “You can’t handle the truth”

Ok, I like the show and I’m sorry to see it canceled. But it wasn’t canceled for moral reasons, CBS could care less. It was canceled because the ratings just weren’t there. That’s the only reason shows get canceled. It sucks, since I’ve never actually MET a Nielsen family, so I don’t have a clue who gets to decide my viewing choices, but given what gets canceled and what stays on, I’m not impressed…

I tremendously enjoy this show and would be quite disappointed if it is cancelled. The actors and actresses brilliantly portray their characters. There is not one who does not capture the essence of the decade. There is something in this show that touches everyone. A different time slot should be considered before cancelling. Give the show a chance.

My husband never watches TV. We have watched every episode of Swingtown together and looked forward to it every week. I remember the 70’s and it portrayed that era so well. The show is a great way to open up conversations about fantasies that you might have within your own marriage. Adds spice to our already exciting relationship. Makes you think - what if?! We are sooooo disappointed. I’ll probably never be able to talk him into watching anything with me again. He’ll say they’ll just take it off the air if he likes it!!!

I am a faithful viewer and loved watching Swingtown. Hey CBS do you count the DVR viewers? I am so fed up with CBS. Watched Jericho - you canceled it. Watched Moonlight and was addicted and you canceled it. Now it looks like you are canceling Swingtown. Guess what I am through with CBS and will never watch another new CBS show no matter how much it intrigues me. I get hooked and you cancel it. So make me a believer and keep Swingtown on the air and start counting the DVR and OnDemand viewers. KEEP SWINGTOWN ON!!!!!!

I am at a loss for words. All the cool shows get cancelled. Not that I am surprised, as I said all the cool shows get cancelled. So many people have already covered all the points I would like say. This show is brilliant and it should stay!!! CBS should figure it out and find a good fit in the schedule for this show. Everyone knew when they started bouncing the timeslots around, it was going to happen.
I find myself actually staying home on friday nights to watch this show, and now it’s not on!! What a bummer! I am so disappointed. I would follow this show no matter what timeslot it is in.
I have found myself watching it online just to see episodes I missed (And I NEVER watch shows online!).
If they must cancell it, perhaps they will consider making it an online show???

Perhaps HBO can pick Swingtown up. There are plenty of excuses to show some phenomenally hot scenes and, well, that would be the one move I can imagine making an already stellar series even better.

I can’t figure out what goes through the minds of those in charge at CBS. They start some great shows then just kill ‘em and leave on stupid things like Big Brother.
Jericho was also a great show! It had a good following then they crew up with the times and days so people can’t find it then say “the ratings just went thee for the show”. What a load of crap. If you want the show to grow, leave it in the same time slot and day so it can form a loyal base and we can let everyone know about it.
I, have had enough of CBS taking shows off every season and then filling them with more CSI and Big Brother. The only good thing they going for them now is Dave Letterman and Craig Ferguson. I wish they would move them to another network. Cancelling Brilliant Shows (CBS), that should be their name.

I think they are crazy for cancelling the show. Yes it showed crazy sex parties and inapropriate behavors but its a show that was reflecting the times and teaching that sometimes people aren’t who we seem and that we change over time. I’m only 20 and I found the show to have life lessons and a historical connection to all its viewers. I strongerly believe they should bring the show back and do a second seaon.

It seems as though if a show doesn’t have a crime/forensics theme it’s doomed to die. I wonder how long it’ll be before they have a “CSI” show on every night of the week. And even the Vegas show will only be watchable for the first 8 eps. of this upcoming season when they replace Petersen with Morpheus (I can’t take Larry seriously after the Matrix movies).
I was addicted to Swingtown and am very disappointed that it was cancelled. What about Janet’s new job? Susan and Roger were just about to hook up! And what about Bruce and that trollop Mel? I have questions dammit!!
I, too, have young kids - which is why I watched it after they went to bed. Just because I love this show doesn’t make me a Godless crappy parent. It makes me an individual who liked a particular show and kept it from my kids. I don’t appreciate some random stranger(s) judging me by what shows I watch while being a parent.

I just started wating this show on Netflix on demand. Too bad. The critical reception was mixed which along with the ratings I think killed it. It wasn’t the mos groundbreaking show but it’s still better than 90% of the crap that’s on today. Too bad CBS doesn’t have the balls to stick with it.

Why? This show was different it told how some people in the 70’s really lived. Even though I did not live this life style I knew people that did. I feel poeple should be able to live a life style they wanted to if it was not hurting anyone else. I enjoyed watching this show and feel that it is a mistake to cancel. This was a reason I stayed home fridays to watch this show.BIG MISTAKE! Move it to cable you will have poeple watch I will.

PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW! My husband and I were kids in the 70’s and we totally relive our childhoods when we watch it. The cast is fantastic, the story-lines are great, we just really enjoy it!

This is a good show! It gives viewers a little fantacy in today’s reality TV explosion. I would not be interested in this life style but it’s fun to watch. As for those who think this show is a wrong, why are you even cheching up on it on the site?

are you serious? what are you looking for - Leave it to Beaver? Why are your children watching tv at these hours? If there are so young, they should be in bed. If not, they should be old enough to know the difference. Get a grip on reality and raise your own kids!

Finally they came out with a great show that was so unique and different from all the other Crime Scene Death T.V. crap that’s getting so old and they go and cancel it. They didn’t even settle things out on the show. If you’re gonna cancel one of the best shows you’ve got, then don’t be an even bigger dumb ass and decide to leave the public without an ending…. and Tom was so hot too

This is a great show.. We can relate to it cause we were kids in the 70’s. Everything in it was cool and brought back so many memories.
The cast is great - never missed a show!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW

Megs! Hey there! I couldn’t agree with you more in regard to the comment posted by: Shawn Stovall,”Praise God”. How could anyone think for a minute this would be a kid friendly show? The title pretty much says it all. As for morals, if given a choice to look-up to a fictional character in a movie vs a real life head of state, clergy or teacher it seems as though the majority of young adults my age & older would much rather look-up to the fictional character for guidance. This speaks volumes. As an educated, family oriented, mother of a young son this is sad but true. It’s challenging enough raising a descent young person without all of the extra pressure religion brings to the table. While religion shouldn’t be confusing or argumentative it majority of the time is. Thank you for voicing an opinion that resignates with many.
Me included.

Shawn I think you need to grow up with the times buddy!! I am 25, did not live in the 70’s but it does give those of who didn’t a chance to see what it was like. The show was not just about switching husbands and wives to experiment but it was also about the children and how life was for them back then. I can sit here today and say that yes I remember a time that we could ride our bikes, play 7 min in heaven, leave the door unlocked and things would be fine. I think the more you push for nothing to be shown the more your own children will want to watch it. Just to rebell against you. What about the college story about lori and the teacher and her realtionship??? Did you never go through a young adult relationship?? Hello it gives you insight that your parents were going through the same problems at one time. I am just offend that those who want it off only focus on the “bedroom” relationships which they hardly even show! The show is just like any other Day time soap opera, it focuses on relationships with people, so should we take those off too since young children are at home during those times as well. And you can’t say they aren’t because 2 and 3 yr olds are not at school. And you can’t say they dont understand because they do that is their prime learning stage. I feel that the show should stay on. I personally would record the show and watch it on Saturdays and then call my mom (who lived during that time) and we would get so into the show and bring up old memories she had about back then. So I say keep the show. And if you so don’t like the show then put on your “clean” shows you prefer and leave our show alone.

The only show I’ve watched faithfully ever. Now hearing that it could be cancelled is VERY DISSAPOINTING. I hope HBO would pick it up and show the younger generation of the 70’s era. HBO may even script it better. Then I just may have to subscribe to HBO again since Sex & the City is gone. Please bring it back!!!!

FROM THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE PREVIEWS, I WANTED TO WATCH THIS SHOW. THEN I TOTALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE FIRST EPISODE. AS FAR AS THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY IT DOES NOT HAVE MORALE ISSUES AND THAT THEIR CHILDREN MAY NOT HAVE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WHEN THEY GROW UP, THEN DON’T LET THEM WATCH IT!! I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO THROW YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN IN FRONT OF THE TELEVISION TO LEARN ABOUT HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND MORALE ISSUES, THEN YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, NOT THIS SHOW!!! THAT’S THE PROBLEM THESE DAYS. PARENTS THROW THE KIDS IN FRONT OF THE TV INSTEAD OF HAVING FAMILY TIME, THEN THEY BLAME “TV” OR “SOCIETY” BECAUSE THEIR KIDS TURNED OUT TO BE NOT SO GREAT ADULTS. THERE ARE ALOT OF US (MEN AS WELL AS WOMEN) WHO HAVE WAITED TOO LONG FOR A SHOW LIKE THIS ONE. I JUST HOPE THAT CBS COMES TO ITS SENSES AND GIVES IT ANOTHER SHOT!! I MADE SURE MY TV WAS TUNED INTO CBS EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT AT 10. I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED CBS, BUT THEY ARE CANCELLING THE BETTER SHOWS AND STILL CONTINUE TO RUN THE STUPID ONES. CBS, PLEASE CONTINUE TO RUN SWINGTOWN!!!

Mihai your comment of 9/10 was entirely uncalled for and I for one was extremely offended by it. There no place for such bigotry and racial hatred in this world. It’s just bad karma.
I would expect to see that sort of slur at a white supremist site not fan site.
Do everyone a favor and keep your hatred between you and God.

What Mihai needs to do is keep these thoughts to herself/himself and leave God out of it as I’m sure he would be ashamed just the same I as I am. Dispicable!!!

I just caught this show when Bravo aired it over the weekend and I cannot believe I’d never seen it before! I’m now watching the episodes I missed on Netflix. I cannot believe they’ve cancelled it! I read somewhere that Showtime is a sister station to CBS…maybe they’ll pick it up.

And to Mihai, your comment on 9/10 was offensive and appaling!!! Your ignorace and racisim have NO place here. Or ANYWHERE else for that matter. Your words are hateful, hurtful, inexcusible & vile.

Thanks CBS for taking another great show off the agenda for this season, hoping for season two. I have watched SWINGTOWN since the start and have enjoyed but now you do the same as always…cancel! Now you know why your ratings are so low? You can’t keep good quality shows on without canceling them but you will leave the crappy ones on that no one watches, why is this?
Sincerely,
Dissapointed

Swingtown was THE BEST hour of tv everyweek. I am still not sure if their keeping it or not, but I HOPE, HOPE, HOPE that they do! Truly, the best characters, story lines and fun! I was bornin 72 and don’t remember any of the 70’s. Mom says it’s a perfect recreation. Kudos for such a great job but PLEASE keep it on!!! You can’t leave us hanging with Trina and the baby and Susan and Roger!!

Praise God? Who is to judge whether the way people live their lives is right or wrong? Happiness is most important in life and who cares what type of relationship people have to gain that feeling. Nothing worse than a bible thumper who feels the need to press their feelings on the rest of the world.

It’ sad they are canceling this show as it shows how the swinging life style came about and how it truly should be today.
I enjoyed every episode as that isthe kind of people I have been around since I started in the lifestyle.
Don’t call swinging a lifestyle to a swinger that makes them mad, but as a swinger I don’t know what else to call it….lol.

I really enjoyed this show and thought it had real potential. I would like to see it picked up by a cable network (Oxygen, WE, FX, Showtime,etc) where they can put more substance and quality into the writing. The actors are very capable of carrying a show with more meat. CBS is too tame a network for a show like this, the writing will always be a little to unbelievably wholesome and stale. I’m not saying that they should make this a sex and nude fest on cable FYI. (Although I know a number of people would like that.)

In response to Hawkens: Mihai is perfectly within his/her right to express an opinion. And on Tuesday Nov. 4, the rest of the US will express theirs, and express it loudly, PRESIDENT OBAMA. Not bad for the son of a savage, and a teen.

One more vote for Obama here. I am a student and need the money that he will be giving me to pay rent and gas monney. Tuition for college cost to much and i think business needs to pay for it. i cant even afford to go to the doctor becuase it cost to much. it will be great to have free medical i will go all the time to make sure i am healthy. people who have money really piss me off driving around in fancy cars and buying whatever they want with Obama he will take there money and give it to people who deserve it like us students and regular people. I say make all businesses pay. they have had it good for to long it time the poor people have the money and Obama will make them the poor ones so we will all be the same equal no matter how much or how little you do. he will stop global warming and make everyone get rid of there gas cars that pollute the earth more people need to use the bus and trolly he will make everyone get rid of there car or they will have to pay up.

My wife and I both LOVE this show. I do think that a Friday night time slot in the summer time was only a set up for ratings failure. I can not think of any one who would want to sit home, and inside, on a warm Friday night.
CBS - take a chance like you did for season 1, except this time, put it in the Tuesday evening time slot. We hope this gets your attention.

My hubby and I stumbled upon the show and were hooked from day one. I have purchased every episode from i-tunes and we have watched them again and again. This show has got to come back for a second season either on CBS or somewhere else we can get our hands on it.
