Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm a Casting Producer with ABC Television and we're looking to feature families who participate with reenactments on our hit family primetime show, Wife Swap! We're looking for great families who spend true quality time with each other and value old fashioned traditions. Do you enjoy teaching your children about history and culture through your reenactments? Do you feel other families could benefit from learning about these ways of the past? We want to hear from you!! We’re looking for all sorts of reenactors (historical or more entertainment minded), so please feel free to contact us with any nominations and referrals.

Please don't be confused by the title - Wife Swap is a family show on ABC primetime. The premise is simple: two moms from two very different families get the opportunity to swap lives (but not bedrooms - everyone has their own!) for a week to experience what it's like to live a different lifestyle - and to see what they can teach each other about their own! In this case we're looking to feature families who spend time together by remembering (and reenacting) significant times or events in our history. I would greatly appreciate you forwarding my information on to any of your friends, neighbors, colleagues, and family members who might be interested in sharing their lives with us for a week!

All featured families receive a $20,000 financial honorarium for their ten day filming commitment - and $1000 goes to anyone who nominates a family that appears on the show! We are looking for two parent families with children (between the ages of 5 and 18) who are ready for adventure! I appreciate your assistance in reaching out to these great families and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Best,

Heather Teta

I almost fell over laughing......LMAO

We got it

The 3rd Maine's recruiting Sergent got a similar one quite a while ago, I don't remember exactly when. Our collective response was about the same as yours. I think it speaks volumes that 6 months+ later they're still looking for idio...people to "participate".

Hi Jason, this is the Jerry Springer Show...

I never understood why anyone would ever respond to such a call? I mean let's face it, no good has ever come from it, has it?

Now I enjoy much that ABC has to offer but have only watched Wife Swap once. Can't say I see any good coming from agreeing to be on that show.

Life is strange enough without tossing an experience like that into it!

replacement

Doc,

I found that vile waste of electrons to be a perfect alternative to "Nux Vomica"

Desparate men do desparate

Desparate men do desparate things in Desparate times.... my red mule is dead and I need a family type replacement with all wheel drive that can haul a trailer under $12,000. $20,000 is a good number but $50,000 would be better.....do they negotiate? if I dont wear any underwear will it help or hurt my pop singing career?
all valid questions, with many invalid answers.
plus I doubt the missus would go for it, could I rent a fake wife for the show? but she would want at least a 50% cut...or one of you ...my friends could dress in drag for a 50% cut...hmmmmm?
C'mon guys lets see those Gams!

Hmmmm

I did do the "Rocky Horror" thing once in my youth, although massive quantities of alcohol were involved...50% of $50,000 huh?
I have been told I have nice legs...I'll get back to you, but I am insisting on the seperate bedroom clause

Sing it with me! the rebel

Sing it with me!
the rebel reenacting transvestite from pennslyvanniaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
adds new meaning to "lets do the time warp again"
But maybe we have struck on a new money making deal, just as the audience participation thing began to happen at a movie released as an actual movie that bombed, thus making a financal flop into a stellar cult success story. we could maybe do the same things to gods and generals, at this point im not sure what we could do with what scenes but stuff like "he crys for all of us" squirt guns into the air, everybody gets out their blanket and hides under it during stonewalls prayer before Manassas, during fredricksburg we throw fake hands and feet into the air everytime a artillery round impacts.....
Have i gone too far?

Awww come on,

I think you're just still mad about that carbolic acid "injection" I gave you at Willowbrook.

Either that or you're trying to edge me out of my shot at fame in an attempt to play Seamus' wife yourself.

Wow. Did I just write that?

Mike, Aren't you sorry you made this an open forum now?

Keep taking your silver nitrate!!

What was that magnifying glass for?
