Grant Show has shaved his moustache. That could be a signal that Swingtown is not coming back.

Grant actually named the Fu-Manchu moustache, Sebastian. "[It'd] gotten out of control. The moment they called wrap on the last episode, I shaved it off," he told the New York Times. "I feel like myself again. People who didn't know me looked at me like, 'What the hell are you doing?' I was at a restaurant the other day, and a woman asked me if I was a porn star."

That could definitely be a sign. Whether or not it returns, it was still a great show nonetheless.

^ True! It was a cool show no matter how long it lasts.

I went in thinking that this show wasn't going to last. Most shows that debut in the summer don't survive the next season.

I don't really think that means something.

Me neither. I mean I doubt it takes him that long to grow one anyway, so if they are picked up it shouldn't be a problem.

I think at this point, CBS has ditched the show anyways. Flashpoint is doing pretty well, and the last episode didn't even break the 4 million part. Although, what was CBS honestly expecting - it was up against the Olympic opening last night (which I not only missed for Swingtown, and it did nearly 50 million viewers in the 10pm hour from what I've heard) and it's on Friday nights at 10pm - I bet half its original audience doesn't even know the show is still on.

No matter what, I'd still love to CBS to do out of the ordinary and renew it. I'd even be happy with a DVD.
