CBS has announced the following new pick-ups. “Cane,” “Moonlight,” “Viva Laughlin,” “Swingtown” and “The Big Bang Theory.” “Power of 10,” which is a game show, is said to be an alternate.

I have to admit, I’m not a CBS watcher that much, I haven’t been following these. I know Swingtown is their basic attempt at a “Big Love” type of show, but set in the 70s and is about swingers. “Viva Laughlin” is produced by Hugh Jackman. This is supposed to be an American version of the musical show Viva Blackpool, which airs on BBC. I tried real hard to watch the original, I couldn’t do it. Basically think “Cop Rock” and you get the gist of how the show will be a musical.
