Earlier today we brought you the less-than-spectacular news that ABC had bumped Happy Endings from Tuesday to Friday, and would begin airing double shots of the show from 8 to 9. Now, sure, shows with small, rabid fanbases have survived on Friday nights lately (Supernatural, Fringe), but dumping them in two at a time makes that logic feel a little like George telling Lennie about a farm filled with rabbits before depositing a bullet in the back of his head. No bueno. And when we explained all this, we also told you that ABC would be filling the now-open time slot with a reality show called Celebrity Wife Swap.
Hey, why don’t we check in with Celebrity Wife Swap to see what they have lined up for their upcoming season. I mean, maybe it won’t be that bad, right?
Who got the better deal? Kate Gosselin and Kendra Wilkinson have agreed to trade lives for a new episode of Celebrity Wife Swap.
[blinks]
ABC announced Wednesday, Feb. 13 that Gosselin, 37, and Wilkinson, 27, will be the first stars to appear on the new season of the reality series on Feb. 26. On Celebrity Wife Swap, stars switch lifestyles, children and homes for one week to experience another celebrity’s life.
What.
Gosselin will get to stay with Wilkinson’s husband, former NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett, and their son Hank, 3, while Wilkinson will become a single mother of eight kids (twins Cara and Mady, 12, and sextuplets Aaden, Collin, Joel, Leah, Alexis and Hannah, 8), whom Gosselin shares with ex-husband Jon.
In summation, ABC put Happy Endings on an iceberg and pushed it out to sea so they could fill its spot in the schedule with an hour of Kate Gosselin berating former Philadelpia Eagle Hank Baskett and Kendra Wilkinson trying to raise eight children by herself. KENDRA WILKINSON. EIGHT KIDS. WHO, TO THIS POINT, HAVE BEEN RAISED BY KATE AND JON GOSSELIN. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
The whole thing is honestly going to give me a stroke if I don’t stop thinking about it, so I’m just going to watch this video on loop for the rest of the day instead. See you tomorrow.

Random animal video to close out a depressing post? Classic Danger.
Can’t stop won’t stop.
My thoughts
Agreed.
Gifs are the new poetry
The truly sad part is that this will get at LEAST twice the eyeballs that HE got. Likely much higher than that though.
At least Eagles fans can appreciate the torture Hank Baskett is going through.
I for one look forward to the next 50 years of Gosselinchildren dui mugshots. Galaxy S III keyboards are impossible on the internet.
The twins are less than six years away from legally stripping. One of them is already trouble.
Ever since the first season I’ve been excitedly waiting for Maddy’s first tell-all book when she blames everyone else for her addictions and whore-ish lifestyle. Then I’d read her second book where she actually comes around and grows up and talks about how she got clean. But seriously, out of all of them, she is already a mess.
Is ABC going for some kind of terrible decibel record for the loudest hour of television ever? Are they expecting to be one-upped by NBC’s “Howler Monkey Mating Habits” during sweeps. This is terrible.
Real Ex-Wives Howler Monkeys of Miami
I never fail to be horrified when reminded that Kate Gosselin is only two years older than me. I mean, she looks a lot, like, a LOT more than two years older than me.
Squeezing out 8 kids will wear you down. That and being a horrible shrew.
True. But she has also had like a thousand percent more plastic surgery than I have. But otherwise, I am a delightful shrew.
If anyone here knows ANYBODY who is even remotely associated with TBS, tell them (or tell their bosses) to get off their ass and pick up Happy Endings. At least get them here to see how many people love it
Kate did all she could to ruin these kids lives, so she’s calling in an ex-playmate to finish the job.

fo’ real
They’re using the word “stars” and “wife” ironically, right?
Also, didn’t we institute a “no-Kate” rule when we instituted the “no honey-boo-boo” rule?
Chimpanzee on a Segway doesn’t alleviate the pain enough.
I can’t….I, I just can’t. All this toying with Happy Endings is really driving me crazy town banana pants. To quote another awesome, mishandled comedy over on NBC.
In a moment of black rage, Hank murder death kills Kate. The world does not care. Hank Baskett becomes a living legend.
At least Jon is finally going to start showing up and be around his kids.
My mind can’t comprehend this. I now have a reverse boner; and what hurts the most is that this is valentine’s day. This news is like the anti-Eliza Coupe.
True story: I opened this link just to read everyone’s terrified reactions. I was not dissapointed.
Yeah everyone pretty much nailed it on this thread.
