Swapmeet is a sitcom advertised in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It broadcasts on Thursday evenings on the Weazel network, making its ninth season premier on October 30th, 1998, in which Lorraine becomes pregnant and Sonar the Dolphin is introduced. The show is apparently a parody of Friends, with a review in the Liberty Tree calling it a "sexually ambiguous situationer" with "great haircuts and apartments". The show has been criticized for painting an unrealistic idea of city life and being generally unfunny. The show is followed in Weasel's schedule by the poorly received Bad T and Theo.
Thursday nights, don't miss Swapmeet, the highest-paid show on television, as these five crazy buddies with great haircuts and a million dollar apartment try to make sense of the struggles of the big city! And Lorraine's got a big surprise...

Hey, guys, I'm pregnant!
The audience goes "aww".

Well, I guess I'm not banging her this season.
A laugh track is heard.

But I thought Jacqueline was pregnant last season, what happened?

Another laugh track is heard.

Swapmeet, thursday nights, right after the season premiere of the coolest cat in Vinewood - it's Bad T and Theo in the hysterical urban-meets-upscale sitcom that combines drive-by shootings and polo!
