Wife Swap is an American reality television series based on the British series of the same name that premiered on September 26, 2004. In the program, two families swap wives/mothers – or sometimes husbands – for two weeks. The program usually swaps wives who are polar opposites in some way, such as a messy wife swapping with a fastidiously neat one. A short-lived continuation of the original show aired on ABC in 2013. A spin-off series featuring celebrities, Celebrity Wife Swap, ran on ABC from 2012 to 2015.
