Wife Swap..Walt would be proud...

Hello all

I think I would be interested in this Wife Swap thing.

Do you think they would let me swap my wife for a new fishing boat?

I rang Channel Four to see if I could swap my 28 yr old wife for a newer model but they said at this moment in time they don't do part exchange!!!
Sorry only joking, I know the title brings all sorts of pctures to the mind but it is one of the reality programmes that IS good viewing...Parents that allow their kids to run riot, swears an awful lot, eat pizza and smoke fags to make sure their breath smells good! Meet middle class family, reasonably strict on their kids, drive nice cars, live in nice house, it makes for a volitile mix.
As the saying goes, don't knock it til you try it!
Maybe a name change might be apropriate to the more sensitive viewer!

From what I have heard, critics really like Wife Swap at the fall preview events. They also were fans of "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost" - two other ABC shows for the fall.

Then again, the question remains whether Disney can promote promising shows in a way to get people to watch them. They proved that they couldn't with the great "Alias," so while I might be watching them, I'm pretty certain that I could be the only one.

I don't know that Disney failed to properly promote "Alias". I think "Alias" failed because it wasn't a mind-numbing T-n-A show. People don't want to think anymore when they watch TV.

Well, if you think it needs a new name....might as well capitalize on the decorating show trend and call it...."Trading Spouses!"

Interesting you should say that.

I started seeing the commercials for it last night and was wondering why everyone here was so upset when the show is going to be on Fox. I guess we'll get to see lots of swapping.
