I mentioned this over on LPF under the flurry of Liz in the news thread, but figured I'd create a separate thread over here.
Here is the interesting quote from the article:
Barbee says the Swingtown writing team was able to complete six scripts in varying stages before the strike hit, so the show could conceivably resume production quickly if the strike is resolved sooner rather than later. The total network order for the show is 13 episodes and boasts a musical score by Liz Phair, a longtime buddy of the creator. "Liz came up with the main title sequence," says Barbee. "We want to throw out this feeling that a party is going on, come to the party! There's a huge amount of optimism and warmth as these characters try to feel their way through situations, try to find excitement in their lives. In my heart, I know Swingtown is a really good show."
Here is a link to the entire article (you need to do a search on Liz Phair when you get there):
