Would you like to a part of ABC's next big reality show?

'THE SWAP'
More Information

ABC is looking for families to take part in a show scheduled to debut during the summer of 2004 called "The Swap."

People regularly swap clothes, cars or jewelry, but what about if you could swap families for 10 days?

"The Swap" delves into all the particulars in the lives of American families by having the mothers from two families switch places for 10 days.

The families (and viewers) will quickly discover that what is deemed "conventional" in one family can be considered unorthodox and completely bizarre in another.

During the first five days the moms try to fit into the routine and adopt the lifestyle of their new family, giving all a chance to become familiar with each other. For the second five days, the new moms make any changes they see fit and run the home in a way that suits them.

"The Swap" will document how couples share (or don't share) housework and child-rearing responsibilities, how they spend their money and how they spend their leisure time. At the end of each show, the families get a chance to take a step back and look at their own family dynamics from a slight distance -- often gaining new and fascinating insights in the process.

"The Swap" is currently looking for families interested in participating in the fun! The producers are especially looking for families in Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas and Ohio. If you're a mom who would like to trade in her family for a bit, or a family who'd like to see what life would be like with a different kind of mom, call (212) 905-6059 or e-mail theswap@rdfmedia.com.
