SWINGTOWN is going down faster than a $10 crack ho. The problem with FEAR ITSELF is its just too depressing – that ending last night was horrible. FI is doomed just like that science fiction anthology last summer. It would have been better off on cable or as a syndicated series. New Outer Limits thrives for several years in syndication – those were much better done though. The rest of the schedule was just boring repeats and reality shows.
Swingtown is nothing like Desparate Housewives.
