Did anyone bother to see this show? What were opinions? I did not see it but was wondering.

I can't get past the title - sounds like a sleazefest to me. (Same with "WifeSwap" - not the kind of TV viewing I'm interested in).

Show? I thought it was one of those movies you'd find at the back of a video store, behind a curtain?

You might want to mention that this is a vanity ;)

Saw it, loved it. Trashy delight with a few twists thrown in. I will watch it again since it hooks you pretty quick.

Yes--not nearly as good as the wonderful title might suggest. It has that cliched "wise child" to a newly single mother.

I did like the mom with the triplet 3-yr-old boys. She is probably the best-drawn character.

The settings were pretty cool--these pastel candy-colored pseudo-victorian houses all very close together.

Housewives don't know desperation.

Actually it was mildly amusing inspite of it's name. I watched it with my wife. I do like Terri Hatcher

I was a little worried about "WifeSwap" - sounded sleazy. It was actually pretty decent and not the least bit offensive.

I'm not interested in sleazy programming. I watch almost no network television anymore. I don't have any premium cable channels since so much of that programming is slimy. Apparently there's a market for sleaze, but I'd like to see wholesome programming make a comeback.

I watched it and thought it was ok. The part where the mom with the triplets went into the pool after them was kind of funny. There were a few humorous moments. We'll see how the mystery part of the plotline develops.

I liked it better than any of the ninety-gazillion reality shows which I refuse to watch.

Oh yes, the Santa cell phone number bit was pretty funny.

I want to preface this with the fact that I work in the entertainment industry, so I'm not one to rail on about sex and violence in the media.

However, I thought it was irresponsible to have the opening scene of the show, which was at 9:00 pm on the west coast, (i.e. still early when children might be watching) be a woman putting a gun to her head and presumably pulling the trigger... I don't really know how the scene ended because my wife and I had to scramble across the room so that our toddler didnt see the scene in question (I ran for the remote, my wife ran for the kid and between the two of us, I don't think he saw anything...) How can the media left be so vocal for gun control, or as they put it "responsible gun ownership" and then show a scene of someone putting a gun up to their temple and killing themselves?
