CBS' New Shows for the 2007-08 Season

Swingtown
Drama

Premise: Residents of a Chicago suburb in the '70s are into couple swapping, open marriages and key parties, but they soon come to realize that their alternative lifestyle comes with its own complications.

First Impressions: The clips look like "Ice Storm" only with a lot less agita. It's a strong cast and the period details might not be played entirely for laughs, but nothing in the teaser indicated what the actual series will be, week in and week out. In addition, with all of the sex hinted at in the teaser, is this show really best served on CBS? It'll have to go in a 10 p.m. slot, which doesn't give the network much flexibility at all.

Stars: Jack Davenport ("Coupling"), Josh Hopkins ("Pepper Dennis"), Molly Parker ("Deadwood"), Lana Parrilla ("Boomtown"), Miriam Shor ("Big Day"), Grant Show ("Melrose Place"), Kyle Searles ("7th Heaven"), Shanna Collins ("Wildfire"), Brittany Robertson ("Jesse Stone: Night Passage"), Aaron Howles

Studio: CBS Paramount Network Television

Producers: Mike Kelley ("The O.C."), Alan Poul ("Big Love")
