The Week The Women Went is a 2012 reality series narrated by Jeff Foxworthy on the Lifetime Channel and produced by BBC Worldwide Productions.[1] The show is an American version of a BBC show of the same name.[2]
The show follows the town of Yemassee, South Carolina as all of the adult women in the community leave for a week. The men are then left on their own to take on the responsibilities of the women, which includes childcare, house cleaning, and employment.[3]

Hit Fix criticized the show's premise of being a "social experiment", stating that it felt more like a sitcom, that it perpetuated stereotypes of both men and Southerners, and that "losing fifty percent of the adults in town is going to create a hardship, regardless of whether they're male or female".[4] Other criticisms focused on the helplessness of the men in the show, with one person stating that "I get that it is supposed to be a fish out of water story ... but if you have a 9-year-old daughter and you cannot brush her hair, you aren't a fish out of water. You are a bad father".[5]
