Watch Trading Spouses Online - Full Episodes

The TV show Trading Spouses is a reality show on the FOX network and is often referred to as Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy for advertising purposes. During the show, two families switch wives or sometimes even husbands for a week. Members of the family must then follow the rules set by the new family member. This usually causes conflict, especially with any kids in the family, because the new wife or husband usually has a more radical view of rules and discipline than they are used to.

Trading Spouses aired its first episode in 2004 and aired its season three finale episode in 2007. In early 2008, FOX decided to sell its rights to the show to CMT and officially end the series. This series began just a few weeks before ABC was to air a show with a similar premise.

Several times throughout the series, many wives showed up in more than one episode trading places with different people each time. This happened most often with those people who brought the most controversy and thus viewers to the show.

Each set of families had a two episode arch where the first episode aired the first week and the continuation aired the following week. This decision made viewers come back at least for a second time to find out what happened next.

One difference between this show and some of the other similar reality shows is that they give each family $50,000 with the requirement that the guest mother/wife gets to say how the family gets to spend the money. This is usually to help out certain members of the family with things they need or want to do.

Trading Spouses has 59 episodes that spanned over three seasons. Each episode was approximately 44 minutes in length when you don't count commercials. Some episodes were either longer or shorter than this average by a minute or two.
