"Trading Spouses" on Fox

I saw the promos for Fox's "Trading Spouses" tonight. Has it come to this: Ripping off a skit (down to the title) from "Chappelle's Show" and turning it into a reality series?

Or maybe ABC originally ripped off the idea.

I'm sticking with Chappelle.

It's 2004. Swinging is no big deal, to the point that I don't any couples that don't swing. Why make a show about something everybody does?

Chappelle should sue.

It's from a UK show called Wife Swap been around a couple of years, maybe they should sue Chapelle.

Just show the sex scenes, from the commercials looks like the white chick needs a good hard one to put her straight.

T.V. sucks so bad these days.

Oh, I bet you do. It's just that they don't want to swing with you.

No shit, those crackers at Fox always be stealing the black man's idea all the effing time.

Hmmm... I wonder if they'll put night vision hidden cameras in the bedroom, Big Brother style, and tape them doing it jungle fever free willy style.

Groucho: Progressive
buzzdalf: Conservative

"Ahhh titty residue"

This is one reality show that I'm actually considering watching, and hope that it can duplicate at least to some extent the humor that chapelle's skit produced.
