I have never watched this show, but it caught my eye in the newspaper that tonight on "Wifeswap" the swappers in question are:
1.) Joe Piscopo (formerly of SNL) and; 2.) Barry Williams (formerly of the Brady Bunch, aka Greg Brady)
I think this might be really interesting, because I'm a die hard Brady Bunch fan and like to support any of the former Brady kids whenever they do anything; and also because I saw Joe Piscopo on stage last year at a benefit for Gilda Radner and he bombed SO badly it was really brutal to watch. I'd like to see how he does in a different setting, or if it will be just as awful.
Anyway, if anyone watches this show and is planning to tune into this one, let me know what you think.
PS - we're more limited on space for post titles in this board, no?

I'm responding to myself because I feel it would be bad mojo for my very first post on the Refupea board to sink like a stone with a big goose egg in the "replies" column Since I'm just entertaining myself at this point, I will also insert my new favorite smiley:

I don't usually watch this show unless it has someone I'm interested in. I grew up watching The Brady Bunch so I'm taping it

I just got home, so I'm too late to watch it. I do sometimes watch the Celebrity Wife Swaps. Plus, I wanted to give you another reply.

Piscopo is still insane, and not in a funny way. Greg Brady appears to still be Greg Brady. Seems like a good egg.

Greg Brady aka Barry Williams, seems very uptight! Hopefully, his son will get the childhood he didn't. (And per the blurb at the end, it looks like he gets it.) And the Pledge of Allegiance before dinner?
Joe Piscopo - not sure what to think about him. And the blurb at the end was just what I thought would happen.

I thought it was weird they traded their assistants. I only watched the first few minutes. I was waiting to see if our a/c was truly dead (it is). So what was the blurb about Joe at the end?

I only watch when I like the swappers... so yeah I will watch it for Greg Brady!
Last one I watched was with one of my heartthrobs.. Helio Castroneves.

Ok well that was creepy. Joe P is kind of gross. "You know you love me". Did Jessica really punch him in the face?..lol. Fun to see Greg Brady and it seems like he has a very nice kid. I like how he said his favorite scene was in Hawaii.

I missed that one last night. I saw the one with Penn Jillette and I wasn't impressed with him. I had liked him on Celebrity Apprentice but he seemed rude to his new "wife".

Love your reply post CrankyPea! Hubby and I watched it last night ... not a huge fan of Piscopo before, and now I just think he's a creepy old guy who likes young things. And that toup ... oy! Brady aka Williams ... you've been in Branson too long buddy! One does not recite the pledge of allegience before every meal! At least with your son joining Scouts, he'll have a leg up on flag protocol! Anyone else think he was sorta channeling Robert Reed (aka Dad Brady) We did! And not sure his show would make the top 10 list of things to do. The big "oh wow" moment for us was seeing the clip of the Brady Bunch in Hawaii - OMG, the skyline in Waikiki has changed SOOO much! :*(

I thought Barry Williams was very uptight and over the top!! The pledge of allegiance before each meal, expecting the new wife to assist him with no instruction (I would not know the difference in guitar stands either), the fake plants, no kid activities for his son and all those hours he spend watching his dad and ALL those air fresheners

Last night's episode was interesting. I really preferred Barry Williams' assistant over Joe P's whatever she is. He just seems a little creepy.

Barry is a tad egotistical. He's trying to hang on to that Brady fame. I feel bad for his son. I do hope his son continues to have time away from his dad and the show. You'd think the "mom" and her raising 8 kids would have seen that and done better in that department.
Joe was creepy, especially at the end. It was like he did a 180. Weird. I don't know what she seers in him except maybe money? Idk. She's wasting her life on that idiot and he doesn't even talk to her all that nicely!

Bummer-I missed this. I didn't know it was on ABC, either. It's on Lifetime now-they must be older episodes.

I stumbled on it about ten minutes in, couldn't pass up Greg Brady!
What was the deal with the air fresheners? Was he wearing makeup at home? I thought he was a fake up until the point he realized his son was missing childhood too. I rewound just to see if the tears were an act.oved his assistant!
I must be odd man out. I can't stand Joe Piscopo, but thought he seemed better here. Until he told his assistant "You love me" as she was trying to leave in limo. I was very disappointed for both if them to be back together.

I thought Barry was egotistical too, but thought maybe it was just me It was like he thought he was this BIG star and he's really a 70's sitcom actor many years later with little to no other claim to fame!

I love Celebrity Wife Swap!! I wish they'd actually trade wives though, the assistants are getting old.
Joe P was definitely creepy! I was shocked she punched him though, that's classy. Barry was a little out there, but his kid seemed like a great kid.

So for my first "Celebrity WifeSwap" experience, I was surprised that:
a.) there were no actual wives involved; and b.) Barry Williams seemed like an asshat, while Joe Piscopo was just kind of a doufus.
It wasn't as much of a train wreck as I thought. Overall I found it entertaining but a little sad - shades of lost youth, faded stardom, loneliness, etc. All the kids were adorable though:)
