My name is Julia Jenkins, and I am the casting producer for ABC’s hit reality show ‘Wife Swap.’ We are looking for fun, interesting families, that unschool their children. We are looking for moms and dads that love to spend all their time with their kids. 'Wife Swap' is currently casting for its third season, so don't miss out on this amazing experience. I would love to cast a family that believes that unschooling is the way to go. I came across your blog and would love to speak with you, if you are interested in learning more about the show.

Wife Swap is a fascinating story of what happens when two married couples see themselves and their spouses in a whole new light. Time Magazine calls Wife Swap "a riveting examination of family values." The New York Post says, "It should be called ‘Life Swap’ because it's not just the wives who learn something here. It's the families." 

Requirements: 

** Families must be a two-parent home, with children between the ages of 6 and 17, living at home full time. ** Families that appear on the show will receive $20,000, and if you refer a family that appears on the show, you will receive $1,000. THANKS J I look forward to hearing from you…     Julia Jenkins ABC Television/RDF Media USA E: [email protected] P: 212-404-1429 440 9th Avenue 11th Fl. NY, NY 10001  

From: [email protected] Subject: ABC's WIFE SWAP LOOKING FOR FAMILIES Date: June 8, 2007 4:09:09 PM MDT To: [email protected] ABC's HIT SHOW WIFE SWAP IS LOOKING FOR FAMILIES! Ms. Dodd, I am a producer with the ABC Hit television show Wife Swap-now in it's 4th season. We are looking for families who operate their homes outside the norm. These are parents and families who teach principle rather than set rules. The parents that opt for the more relaxed home atmosphere as opposed to the stringent, strict and regimented household. I am reaching out to you to see if you could recommend any families who you feel may be great candidates for our show. Wife Swap is a fascinating story of what happens when two married couples see themselves and their spouses in a whole new light. The New York Post says, "It should be called ‘Life Swap’ because it's not just the wives who learn something here. It's the families." The premise of Wife Swap is that one parent from each household swaps places for a week to experience how another family runs their lives. It is an incredible family experience and opportunity to both learn and teach different family values. Potential families must consist of two parents that have at least one child age 5 or older and can live anywhere in the United States. Families featured on the show will receive a $20,000 honorarium. If you refer a family that is selected you receive $1,000. To submit for the show please call 646-747-7945, or email a family photo and description to [email protected].

From: [email protected] Subject: ABC TV Inquiry Date: October 16, 2007 5:26:12 PM MDT To: [email protected] Hi Sandra, My name is Danielle Gervais. I'm a Casting Producer for ABC's Primetime show, "Wife Swap." I hope you don't mind me contacting you, but we're gearing up for a fourth season at the moment and we're currently looking for one-of-a-kind families with plenty of personality! Specifically, we're looking for moms and dads who strongly believe in alternative forms of education for their children. I came across your site and thought you just might be the mom I’m looking for! Please feel free to forward this email on to anyone you think would be interested in taking part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. In case you are unfamiliar with the show, the premise of Wife Swap is to take two different families and have the moms switch places to experience how another family lives. Half of the week, mom lives the life of the family she is staying with. Then she introduces a "rule change" where she implements rules and activities that her family has. It's a positive experience for people to not only learn but teach about other families and other ways of life. Wife Swap airs on Disney owned ABC television on Mondays at 8 pm- the family hour! Requirements: Each family must consist of two parents and at least one child between 7 and 17 and should reside in the continental U.S. (There may be other children living in the home who are older or younger than the required age…as long as one child is in the required age range.) Participating in the show is a very unique experience that can be life changing for everyone. In addition, each family that tapes an episode of Wife Swap receives $20,000 as compensation for their time. Anyone who refers a family that appears on our program receives $1000 as a 'thank you’ from us. I appreciate you taking the time to read this email and I hope to hear from you soon. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! If you're interested in learning more, please include your contact information.
