Skylark...that there is a perfect example...

What 2 families will get together and 'swap' members...let them go to each other's homes and try to tell another family what to do?


The only time people wifeswap is when they are swinging

(which when first heard of the show, I thought that was the premise...hehe)

Yeah...that's obvious.

The real reason the show is popular is because people often believe "the grass is greener on the other side" and want to complain about their life and envy others'. Wife Swap is good in that in the end the couples usually say "while I appreciate some of the new things I've learned and been exposed to, and perhaps will implement some changes, I appreciate what I have even more and will work harder to make it work."
