Wife Swap! Those who can't view....

Can we make a list of folks who cannot watch the Wife Swap Homesteading Family episode?

I unfortately am one. We are in the Chicago television area, and Monday Night Football will air instead of Wife Swap this evening.

ABC.com does not offer Wife Swap as one of the programs you can watch online.

I am extremely interested in a VHS or DVD copy.

Thank you!

I would be interested in a dvd copy if possible. We do not have regular television viewing available. And I would love to see it too!!!

Me too! I tried satellite for 2 weeks, then dropped it (too pricey). If anyone does make a copy, perhaps we can get on a mailing list and send it from one person to the next?

I don't have TV or cable and a kind person here has already offered to tape the show for me.

If you PM me with your mailing addresses I will make a mailing list, include it with the tape, and forward it to the next person on the list, who can forward it to the next person, and so on.

I think it would be fun to include a card or something we can all jot a quick "thank you" in, and the last person can send the card and tape back to the person who recorded the VHS for us.

I'll have to double check but I think you can watch it right on the Wife Swap web site. I'll go check to see if I'm right or not. I know that you can watch the new show "Ugly Betty" on your computer if you miss it on T.V.

I am so excited to watch this!!

I can't copy a DVD, but I can do a VHS, so if anyone would like me to tape it for them, I can.

PM me and I will set it up.

I just checked and there are some shows available to watch right on the internet (Grey's Anatomy; Desperate Housewives; Lost; Ugly Betty; Six Degrees; The Nine) but NOT Wife Swap . I've seen Wife Swap episodes that are repeated many times so it will be on again within a couple of months for those who might miss it this time.

You can watch it THE NEXT DAY right on the wifeswap website -- but only if you live in the US.

Canada is blocked.

Generally, but we are so fortunate to be in Chicago Bears country! While the advertisement runs for the Wife Swap episode; the channel line up says Monday Night Football.

Yay! We can watch it online! I have to work tonight, so was going to miss it even if football didn't take over the airwaves.

ESPN is a pay-cable channel. In the teams' home markets, the broadcast must be carried on an over-the-air channel.

No TV here for almost 4 years now, and this old computer would have a heart attack if it saw a DVD. I've followed the wife swap threads here on this forum, but I've never seen the show or even know what it is. Likewise with Survivor and other reality shows.
