Nor the timeslot competition...what with a retro HAWAII FIVE-0 reboot and the will-they/crime drama CASTLE with solid audiences.<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if the likes of MAN UP doesn't disappear first, but, yeah, CBS's dead SWINGTOWN might end up the least embarrassing of the broadcast nets' imitations of MAD MEN.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443354468557521729.post-47597736246813810402011-09-20T08:38:25.422-04:002011-09-20T08:38:25.422-04:00HOMEFRONT is a favorite of my wife, so she'll ...HOMEFRONT is a favorite of my wife, so she'll enjoy this quite a bit.<br /><br />TPC will likely be the first new series axed, given the universally horrible reviews.

I vaguely remember HOMEFRONT...it didn't sweep me up as did such contemporaneous historical drama as CHINA BEACH, but I remember it being not too shabby.<br /><br />Contrast THE PLAYBOY CLUB, where, at least, thank goodness the tallest blond woman is the focus of the series!
