ABC is picking up this morning where it left off last night. After renewing reality series Dancing With The Stars, The Bachelor and Shark Tank last night, this morning the network continued with the pickups of two other long-running reality series, America’s Funniest Home Videos and Wife Swap. The 13-epsisode order to Wife Swap includes both regular and Celebrity Wife Swap episodes. Now in its 22th season, AFHV has been a solid anchor for ABC on Sunday, providing lead-in support to breakout hit Once Upon A Time. Last Sunday, it shot up 33% week-to-week to a 2.0/7 demo rating to dominate the 7 PM hour and rank higher than any series on NBC that night. Wife Swap has been on ABC since 2004 and introduced a celebrity version earlier this season.

Thank God for AFV. It’s the cockroach of TV shows.
Which is why it will be back for at least 5 more seasons.
Afv has the highest laugh per second yield oof any show on the air. Maybe not archer, but network for sure.
wife swap? i had no idea that was still on.
I had no idea Wife Swap was still on, either. I LOVE wife Swap! It’s hilarious & fun to watch! When is it on & what channel?
Disgusted that crap like Wife Swap is renewed when there are still a handful of quality shows in limbo.
I’m sure many of those who like “Wife Swap” feel the same about your “handful of quality shows.”
No one cares about these, ABC! Announce the renewal for Happy Endings already!
This!
“Happy Endings” is the last bubble show I’m anxious about…
really????? What about shows that are different? come on ABC dont you have one ounce of originality? surprise us… JUST ONE F@#KING time. instead of old improv shows with the same improv players or the old played out music shows give the audience something new
sigh… another music show – Duets, an improv show with the same played out players… now wife swap… may be one F@#KING TIME this network will come up with something different in the reality world. It has to be out there. Someone on staff must be developing something original. for the love of TV PLEASE
WHY ?
Wife Swap would be vastly better if it was on late night on Cinemax. But I agree, enough renewing drek like this, make the deal on Happy Endings already.
I hear from time to time that the world is coming to an end in 2012. Now I hear that ‘Wife Swap’ is being renewed by ABC. Coincidence?
30 Rock, Community, Parks and Rec…. Granted, they’re on a different network, but still.
How is AHV still on in the age of YouTube?
Cant wait for Wife Swap. Big Juicy from Vegas is on it!
