TVbyNumbers.com’s Robert Seidman has a great post today inside the efforts to save Swingtown.

Leading with a mention of the the online efforts (like this site) to save a show that ‘hardly anyone seems to watch’, Seidman notes that there has been no formal word on a decision and its possible there could be NO word.

Among his comments:

• Seemingly, renewal would not be an option based on the ratings alone, especially after being ’shipped off to the ghetto that is Summer Friday nights’
• On the upside, CBS did sign the show’s creator/producer, Mike Kelley, to a seven figure deal two-year deal, along with co-produced BiCoastal taking the stage on CBS-owned Showtime.
• The ‘buzz’ is that CBS execs ‘really like’ Swingtown, but not the numbers (obviously)

While Seidman would normally say ‘uh … no’ to the renewal based just on the numbers, the other factors may in fact keep it alive, noting the simliar circumstances for NBC’s 30 Rock.
