More High-Quality Programming For ABC & FOX

[GiovanniC]

"Wife Swap" and "Trading Spouses", respectively.

It's supposedly not sexual. But what is the first thing you think of when you hear the names?

Meanwhile, our government is very busy talking about how loving, committed gay couples wanting to have the same rights as the rest of us is downright IMMORAL and will undermine the sanctity of marriage -- nay, our very existance. Nice.

1. More crap to add to the

moral dumbing down of America.

[Maestro]

2. That is just disgusting!

But you know, somebody is watching otherwise they wouldn't have this crap. It makes me sick.

3. FOX stole the idea from ABC... but ABC took it from Dave Chappelle.

And Chappelle made his skit well over a year ago!!

4. Fox Is Stealing Quite a Few Shitty Ideas Lately

A copy-cat "next boxing champion" show. A ripoff of "The Apprentice". And, of course, this one.

:puke:

5. Channel 4 in the UK is now on its 3rd series

I suspect the idea comes from there. It even won an award in the UK (the first couple of shows were interesting to watch, in a 'social train crash' sort of way, but they all seemed the same to me).
