Turnabout

Welcome to the Turnabout guide at TV Tome. The updated plot follows the classic 1930's novel by Thorne Smith (also author of Topper, etc.) fairly well. A 1940 movie was made as well, though it had the voices switching bodies along with their personalities. The characters in the series are similar, although they have been renamed and modernized for a society 50 years in the future of the original novel and movie.

And he wishes much the same about his wife. Each thinks the other has the easier life and both wish one night that they could be each other, to have an easier life.

As fast as you can say "presto-chango,
