ABC Picks Up British Show 'Wife Swap'
Following that fine tradition of high-brow British culture.

A hit unscripted series in the United Kingdom, "Wife Swap," is making its way to the United States. The title, which conjures up visions of a 1970s swingers party, is racier than the concept: Two married women switch places with one another for 10 days, living with the other's family and taking on the other woman's household duties.
All her "household duties"?

At the end of the 10 days, the families get together to discuss what they experienced with their lawyers. An ABC official tells the New York Post that the network is developing an American version of "Wife Swap." The stateside version will be called simply "The Swap."
(raises hand) Can I swap my wife for Cathrine Zeta Jones, please?
