Swingtown is an American television series created by Mike Kelley as a summer replacement series for CBS. The show was a period and relationship drama about the impact of sexual and social liberation in 1970s American suburban households, with story arcs involving open marriages and key parties.
Swingtown premiered on Thursday June 5, 2008, in the time slot previously occupied by Without a Trace. The show was also picked up by Global in Canada, ITV3 in the United Kingdom,TV3 Ireland in Ireland, Network Ten in Australia, Rai 4 in Italy, Warner Channel in South America, and Universal Channel in Poland, TV 2 in Norway, Channel Four in New Zealand, and Romania.
After seven episodes of declining ratings, CBS moved the show's US airing to Fridays, swapping with Flashpoint, which had outperformed Swingtown despite airing in a less favorable time slot. Swingtown's first season's finale (ultimately the de facto series finale) aired on September 5.
Although the show's cancellation was suspected well in advance, it was made official on January 14, 2009.

When it's my time to go
I'll be singin' hi-de-ho
And if I'm truly glory bound
I'll be found in swingtown
If I saw Count and Cab
And met the Duke Man that'd be fad
And when my time rolls around
Just lay me down in swingtown
Chorus
And let the heavens swing with all their melodies
Put their names upon a big marquis
And when they need someone to sing a harmony
If I'm there please let 'em call on me
Instrumental
If I walked up to those pearly gates
And met Bob Wills that'd be great
Tell Ole Satchmo to come around
We'll all get down in swingtown
Repeat Chorus
Repeat First Verse
