A&E’s fyi channel has just announced a new show called “Seven Year Switch,” the premise of which is that couples get bored sexually and otherwise seven years into their marriage and therefore need a change. Married couples will swap husbands and wives for a two-week period and do everything married couples do, including presumably having sex, since they will be “sleeping” together, according to the show’s announcement. There was no revelation in the announcement as to whether or not the sex will be explicit.
There is such a thing, If you can remember that far back), as "good taste" when it comes to entertainment. In my opinion, the leaders of the country and the entertainment industry should be setting standards of good conduct for the rest of the nation to follow. We have a serious problem in this country with the breakdown of the family unit, with countless tens of thousands of single-parent households. The sanctity of marriage seems to be to about as broken as Obama's pledge of "transparency."
If A&E is unable to achieve decent ratings and viewership through the presentation of good quality programming, if they have to resort to "shock therapy" in order to get our attention... well, maybe they should consider getting better writers, actors, directors and story lines. Otherwise, the next thing you know, they'll be showing men and sheep.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
