They have already done a version of this called 'Wife Swap' on British TV, and it's hugely popular, believe it or not.

Just like a American television station to take a idea from another part of the world and water it down. In this case water down the name of the show. Can't they come up with something original? Heck just show the British show.

It probably won't be as good because the American version of Coupling was so unfunny.

In "Man About the House," the UK series that inspired Three's Company, the guy (Jack) was red blooded male trying to bed the girl roommates.  The sexual tension made the jokes hilarious. 

Of course, lust is too rich an emotion for the pabulum-rich American TV, so Jack had to be sexually toned down until he was a proto-fag, as played by Ritter.  The portrayal of him trying to be sexual but laboring under Puritan guilt about the filth of it all made Jack a pathetic boy.

What the US wusses did to Coupling explained its dying at the starting gate.  The tension between Benny Hill and Mister Rogers pretty well augers doom for transplanting anything but quiz shows.
