HOME > Wife SwapABC greenlights two 'Wife Swap' spinoffs: 'Husband Swap' and 'Boss Swap'
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has greenlighted two spinoffs of its upcoming Wife Swap series, which features two wives and mothers trading places for 10 days (but apparently without any extramarital canoodling).
Andrea Wong, ABC's executive VP in charge of alternative programming, claimed that today's disclosure of ABC's plans for Husband Swap and Boss Swap was not related to the news today that Fox is planning a quickie ripoff version of Wife Swap entitled Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy, which Fox claimed would include occasional father-swapping. We would like to believe her, but consider us skeptical. We note, by the way, that management consultant Liz Marks, who worked with the UK version of Boss Swap, claims to have identified four leadership styles among UK bosses: two problematic styles -- the invisible manager and the dictator -- and two positive styles -- the coach and the chameleon. While we think that this is an oversimplification, we admit that we'd like to see the sparks that fly if a chameleon were to be replaced by a dictator while the cameras were rolling.
