TRADING PLACES

ABC has signed a deal to bring the hit British reality series Wife Swap to the States next summer for a six-week run. However, the U.S. version of the show — in which women from different social backgrounds switch families for two weeks — will be called Trading Moms. Producers apparently felt American audiences would be offended by a program titled Wife Swap. (Personally, I find Trading Moms pretty icky, but that's just me.)
