Women swap husbands, kids and homes for 10 days to gauge the effect of changes on both families and the lessons learned. Confident that the Brit hit-inspired concept would be successful, ABC, months before the show's premiere, cooked up `companion' specials that exchanged husbands, bosses and even vacations. Equally sure of the success was Fox, which launched a quickie rip-off titled 'Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy.'

    The good news for the Connor clan is that they no longer have to figure out what to do with Riley — Jesse was kind enough to fatally shoot her in the last episode. The bad news is that they now have to figure out what to do with Cameron since they think she whacked Riley. Between dealing with the murder of his girlfriend and weighing the fate of his killing-machine roommate, it looks like John's going to suffer some growing pains.

  • ABC to Keep on Dancing, Renews Five Unscripted Shows | Today's News: Our Take | 2/28/2008
    Stars better keep those Dancing shoes shined, and wives better be wary: ABC announced its renewal of five unscripted shows, including Dancing with the Stars. Along with DWTS, the net said Thursday that it's bringing back Wife Swap, Supernanny, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and America's Funniest Home Videos — for its 19th season (!). Conspicuously absent from the list was that Dancing-like newbie Dance Wars, which never quite got moving. Don't worry about the mate-seekers being left out — following the upcoming season of the Bachelor (with that smokin' British leading man), the show will be swapped out next season with a new version of The Bachelorette.ABC's roster of five confirms the renewal of its veteran unscripteds, and repeats a similar move last year, when it beat its competitors to the renewal-announcement punch. — Anna Dimond read more
  • You and ABC's Wife Swap: A Perfect Match? | Today's News: Our Take | 1/22/2008
    The when: Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET, on ABC.Why watch?: By swapping the matriarchs of two diametrically dissimilar families, this unscripted "social experiment" teaches us the importance of loving the one you're with — and learning from the one you least expect to. Families with opposing values get in the ring together as messy moms get paired with anal-retentives and free-spirits pair with straight-lacers, all while camera crews follow every squabble. Upon arrival, the mothers must get used to living their new families' lifestyles until the tables are turned and the families start living by their new mom's rules, a situation that often brings out the worst in the adults and gobs of tears from the kids. While some of these folks might have initially fantasized about what life with a different spouse would be like, the moral that most couples learn in the end is to appreciate how much their current spouse brings to the table (not to mention that living with a bit of balance, rather ... read more

    Reno 911’s Finest Are on the JobThese guys bring a whole new meaning to the phrase “to serve and protect.” The cracked-out officers of Washoe County Sheriff's Department keep us laughing non-stop (especially the sexually ambiguous Lieutenant who has a thing for wearing short-shorts).

Sign Us UpWe’re not ashamed of watching Wife Swap because of the whole controversial “how can you switch mothers/wives for the sake of TV?” issue. But we do try to keep the fact that we dig this show under wraps—namely because of kinds of families they manage to exploit for this show make us feel kinda dirty.
