Trust Fund Challenge #3: Turnabout (1979)

Trust Fund Challenge is back with a new episode. This week, Ric and I watch the 1979 pilot of Turnabout, a body-switching "comedy" starring Sharon Gless and John Schuck (yes, him again) as a couple who magically switch bodies. I have no memory of this show airing, even though I was watching a ton of TV as a young 11-year-old that year. Of course, the show only lasted six episodes, so it was gone in a flash. And there's good reason for that, as you'll see in this episode.

Still, there were some big names involved, including the show's creator, a young Steven Bochco.
