Wife Swap(TV show/series, 2004-2010)

Wife Swap is an American reality television program based on the British show of the same name that was first broadcast in 2004. In the program, two families, usually from different social classes and lifestyles, swap wives/mothers – or sometimes husbands – for two weeks. The show originally aired on ABC for six seasons between 2004 and 2010 and was narrated by actor John Schwab. The program usually swaps wives who are polar opposites in some way, such as a messy wife swapping with a fastidiously neat one, or a stay-at-home mother swapping with a high-powered career woman, and documents the cultural and social differences that the wives and their new families must overcome. A short-lived continuation of the original show aired on ABC in 2013. On March 8, 2018, it was announced that CMT had picked up the series for a 10-episode reboot. However, it was later announced that the reboot would premier on April 4, 2019 on Paramount Network. On September 5, 2019, the series was renewed for a 20-episode season which premiered on February 13, 2020. On September 22, 2020, Paramount Network cancelled the series as part of the network's then-planned shift to films. A spin-off series featuring celebrities, Celebrity Wife Swap, ran on ABC from 2012 to 2015. ()
