NEW YORK — With two martial arts events and a drama about the shag-carpeted 1970s, there promises to be a lot of kicking and screaming on CBS this summer.

The network's new series "Swingtown," about a suburban town in the era of sexual liberation, will premiere on June 5, the network said in announcing a summer schedule Monday.

CBS, which this week canceled its reality series on secret talents of the stars after only one airing, imports Regis Philbin as host of "Million Dollar Password." Two other nonfiction series include the competition "Greatest American Dog" and "Jingles," where people compete to compose an advertising jingle.

CBS will also bring back "Big Brother" for its 10th edition.

The network said it would present nearly 90 hours of original programming this summer.

Two special martial arts events will air in prime time on May 31 and July 26.

"Cold Case," "Numb3rs" and "Without a Trace" also move to new time slots in the summer.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Hmmm - wonder what the martial arts events are.
