Synopsis

Turnabout is an American television situation comedy that first aired on NBC in 1979 and was based on a 1931 novel of the same title by Thorne Smith which had already been developed into the 1940 movie, Turnabout). The plot was about a married husband and wife who found themselves inhabiting each other's bodies similar to the plot of Freaky Friday. Turnabout only lasted 7 episodes, partly because it aired right after NBC's poorly watched Hello, Larry and competed with CBS's hugely successful series, Dallas.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
GazerRise Fantastic!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Nozz By the 1970's, Thorne ("Topper") Smith's original novel could have been a recipe for disaster: the husband's mind in the wife's body and vice versa? Lord save us from cheap swishy jokes on the one hand and from free-your-mind homilies about our true bisexual selves on the other. Well, the series fell into neither trap. The leads were so masculine (without being handsome) and so feminine (without being a bimbo) that the switch between them was nothing but crystalline humor... except that each episode, if I recall correctly, came down to earth abruptly as the couple wished earnestly to return to their own identities.
