Is this finally rock bottom so we can finally do away with these stupid shows.

Thanks to Monsterone for my first sig.

When I saw the commercial today, I thought the exact same thing. Reality T.V. looks like it's hit another low. Maybe, however, this means that if they're running out of ideas, it'll be all over soon.

Thanks M1

As long as people tune it, it will never be over. They will just keep coming up with more hack idea's. This is cheap TV that is making these networks some big money. They only have to pay for a crew, no actors and minimal sets.

fox hasn't had an original idea since they started (for example werewolf, simpsons, and married with children). rest has been a variation on a current theme.

[Snoogans]

the main thing that pisses me off is, there is no way itll be as funny as the chappelle one, so why bother stealing it.
i hope he sues fox for so much that we end up with the Chappelle Network

NBC Exec Slams Fox Reality TV 'Imitators' (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=494&e=4&u=/ap/20040711/ap_en_tv/nbc_fox)

"NBC was smarting earlier this year when Fox said it planned a boxing series - after NBC announced its own big-ticket entry, "The Contender," from Sylvester Stallone and reality king Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "The Apprentice")."

"Fox's spouse-swapping series "Trading Spouses" was announced for summer after ABC said it was putting "Wife Swap" on its fall schedule."

"Quite frankly, they (Fox) used to be innovators and now they're imitators," Zucker, president of the NBC Universal Television Group, told the Television Critics Association. Rushed rip-offs don't tend to succeed, he said."

It's like they're arguing whether Stalin or Hitler was less evil.

if ABC has wife swap, they both are ripping off Chappelle. the skit on chappelle was well over a year ago, he should sue both of them

This stinks on soo soo many levels. Besides the obvious---1) they couldnt come up with an original name? 2) Why the tagline, "Meet Your New Mommy"?? Why does every crappy Fox show need a tagline?

Well, I don't feel like delving deeper into the Shittyness, it really isnt worth my time.

Hey, Hey HEY! I think you're forgetting one of the greatest reality TV shows ever put together? And it was done by those madcap creative geniuses at FOX....

Not sure on this one but we ripped off so many reality shows, and regular old sitcoms, from others, mostly the brits.

3 Company = Man about the House

Friends = Coupling

Weakest Link/Millionaire = Brit

I'm a Celeb get me outta here = Still Brit [or australian not sure]

=

This is why I dont watch TV.

[TheMojoPin]

Friends = Coupling

"Coupling" didn't exist in the UK until 2000...about 6 years after "Friends" was first spawned in the US.

OK, I'm kind of ashamed for watching, but Trading Spouses was really funny. And the fact that the families are from my city is even more funny.

Anyone else a big enough reality TV sucker to be watching this???

"I'm a woman and when we want things, we get them." "You have an hour to go get me a sandwich."

Tammy needs to get a good beat down from her new black husband. How rude is she??

[McNabbShouldDie]

the main thing that pisses me off is, there is no way itll be as funny as the chappelle one

I dont if I was spacing out or something, or maybe it was a commercial for a different show, but I swear I heard a white mom say 'You brought the wrong color home' and then the commercial showed some black kids.

Was I seeing a commercial for this Trading Spouses show, cause if I was, thats pretty fuckin funny.

Yes, MSD that was the Trading Spouses commercial.

The black dad said his youngest boy asked him (before they met the lady) "Is she gonna be black like us daddy?" And hilarity ensues...

[McNabbShouldDie]

This show=the shit.

The standoff that ensued between Tammy and the Biggins family when she said there was gonna be no chicken wings at the party, funny as hell.

Everyone needs to start watching this.

Given the right amount of alcohol, I'd probably do that midget chick.
