Balloon Boy's 'Wife Swap' Episode Pulled

A short time after People reported that the mother of the balloon boy, Mayumi Heene, admitted that balloon scare was in fact a hoax, Lifetime announces that they have decided to pull the Heene family episode from their network.

"It was on the schedule long before the incident," a spokesperson for Lifetime tells CNN. "Once we found out [about the hoax]… we decided to pull it off the air. At this time, we don't have any plans to air it in the near future."

The episode was said to air Thursday, October 29, at 2 p.m. ET. Instead it will be replaced by another rerun episode of "Wife Swap" which features different family ofcourse.

But the Heene family may have bigger things to worry about than a "Wife Swap" episode. According to People the parents, especially the father Richard Heene, could face some erious criminal charges including "class 4 felonies: contributing to the delinquency of a minor, attempting to influence a public servant and conspiracy."

Even though the episode won't reach it to your T.V set, you can still watch the Heenes's crazy antics via YouTube on your computer.
