From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farmer Wants a Wife is a reality television series developed by Fremantle Media. The first edition premiered in UK on ITV1 in 2001. The basic premise is that number of farmers are presented with women from the city, from whom they choose one to be their spouse.
After its UK debut in 2001, the show had more than 10 localized versions around the world, with mixed ratings reports. It was the No. 1 television show for stations that aired it in Belgium and Norway, and was the highest rated entertainment show in the Netherlands [1]. Premiered in spring 2008, the U.S. version consists of 8 episodes, during which 10 women are trying to be chosen by a bachelor farmer. Shooting locations in USA were St. Charles, Orchard Farm and Portage des Sioux, all in Missouri[2]. This episode was known to be somewhat fictionalized, in that the farmer in the show was shown to be raising animals in the show, which he does not do in real life, and by the revelation that throughout the making of the show, he had a steady girlfriend, which somewhat belies the premise of the show.[citation needed]
