I tend to agree, but upon reflection, aren't sports broadcasts "reality shows"? Theoretically, anything could happen, either team could win, and most any player could make a play that is remembered and talked about for years.

Last time I checked they don't stage fake goals in the NHL. If you want to compare it to something how about wrestling.

As to this show, does it say anywhere that the husbands/fathers in the households with the swapped moms will sleep with said women? I presume they do not, and if such is the case, this show is no more stupid or less moral that that show where people redesign each others houses.(Trading Spaces, I believe its called?)

The name of they show they are basing this on is called wife swap. It is a well know swinging term. But what they call it doesn't really matter it is still going to be stupid anyway.

Good point about the fake field goals, I don't consider obviously staged entertainment as "reality TV", but I guess some do.

But what they call it doesn't really matter it is still going to be stupid anyway.

I'll admit, we've all had to lowball our expectations about what to expect from TV, but there is a remote possibility of this show exploring family values, you just can't say that about "The Bachelor".
