CBS swaps 'Flashpoint' and 'Swingtown'

CBS is swapping its struggling 1970s relationship drama "Swingtown" with its struggling police drama "Flashpoint."

Starting this week, “Flashpoint” will air in the former “Swingtown” slot of Thursdays at 10 p.m.,  and “Swingtown” will shift to Fridays at 10 p.m., the former home of “Flashpoint.”

The second episode of “Flashpoint” dropped 21% last Friday (1.5 adults 18 to 49 rating and a 5 share), and the most recent episode of “Swingtown” last Thursday performed similarly (1.6/5).

i'd swap both of those for one of cbs' former shows that has a little more "bite", and i'd even swap those two shows to keep william petersen in front of the camera. i'd rather swap the ex-list to at least keep flashpoint. tsk tsk tsk cbs

I really enjoy Flashpoint!! I think it is a great show.

I really enjoy watching flashpoint however I am getting frustrated that I get ready to watch it and it is not airing. Please decide on a day and time that Flashpoint will be viewed
