ABC orders more 'Wife Swap' episodes

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- ABC-TV has ordered more episodes of the reality TV show "Wife Swap" that trades mothers between two disparate U.S. families for two weeks.

The show has improved ABC's Wednesday performance -- so far this year the show's 10 p.m. slot is running neck and neck with NBC-TV's "Law & Order" among the advertiser-coveted 18- to 49-year-olds, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.

"It's a testament to the strength of the show and the quality of the show in both how well it's produced and how well it's cast," said Andrea Wong, ABC's vice president for alternative programming.

"Wife Swap" is produced by Stephen Lambert, Jenny Crowther and Michael Davies, the same producers that made the British version of the show a hit in the United Kingdom.

Wong said a second season of "Wife Swap" is being considered.

Not far behind might be "Husband Swap" and "Boss Swap." Both are being produced as one-hour installments with the possibility of a series next season.
