Anybody remember 'Turnabout' on NBC from '79?It starred Sharon Gless & John Schuck as a couple who(due to a wish-granting Budda-like statue)wake up one morning in each other's body.Sharon had a cigar-smoking sportswriter trapped in her,while Schuck was stuck with a dainty cosmetics excecutive in him.It only ran 6 episodes(one of the last gasps of Fred Silverman's reign),but I'd love to find more info & even episodes if available.love&peace,claren44

Yes, I remember TURNABOUT very fondly. This was a really cool show. I recall Sharon Gless sitting around the poker table playing cards and smoking a cigar. Perhaps TV LAND will someday rerun it.

I remember the promo for Turnabout.

With its cast teaming up with the cast of Different Strokes, Saturday Night Live, even Supertrain singing "NBCCCCC US" !!

At the Museum of Broadcasting in NYC if you come across the all star concert of Uniceff ( I know I mispelled that one ) featuring ABBA , John Denver and the Bee Gees that aired on NBC in early 1979 you can see the Turnabout promo.

Well, for an odd 9 year old, turnabout was rather cool. I remember it... I liked John Schuck from Mcmilllan and Wife, again, from a 9 year old's perspective....
