Scant days after debuting the “Apprentice” rip-off “The Law Firm,” NBC offers “Meet Mister Mom” (7 p.m., NBC), a blatant photocopy of ABC’s popular “Wife Swap” reality series. But in this case the wives and moms are given a spa vacation, while the couch potato dads get put in charge of feeding the kids and keeping house.

The familiar “Swap” format seemed like a pretty hard thing to mess up, but the makers of “Mister Mom” gave it their best, or rather their worst, shot. Annoying graphics accompany the dads’ every move, and corny music and wacky sound effects recall the early days of “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” But on “Funniest” the clips are mercifully short. On “Mister Mom” we have to spend a solid hour with the same whining toddler as the producers milk what humor they can out of his habit of picking his nose.
