* The ''[[Lois and Clark]]'' episode "Chi of Steel" (which juggled [[Two Lines, No Waiting|three gender-equality storylines]]) used this in the C-plot, with Martha and Jonathan swapping places. Since they weren't [[Down On the Farm]] however, Martha's new role consisted of playing checkers, while Jonathan did all the things she'd normally do on a visit to Metropolis (shopping, cooking, ironing Clark's cape...)
* ''[[My Family]]'' featured an episode in which Susan and Janey swap roles, with Susan as a single woman (and Ben trying to win her heart all over again) and Janey driven insane by the pressures of running a home and family.
* ''[[Leverage]]'' had an episode where Sophie wanted to be the boss for once, and the entire team wound up switching jobs out of their normal specialties temporarily. After some [[Hilarity Ensues|events]] they eventually decided [[Status Quo Is God|to go back to their original roles.]]
Line 61:
* ''[[Rocket Power]]'': Trying to prove which of their chosen sports requires more talent, Reggie Rocket and Cleo swap events at Winter Fest, with Reggie ice dancing and Cleo playing on her ice hockey team. Subverted in the fact that they're ''both'' good and not only win their respective events, but impressed the other.
* The ''[[Maryoku Yummy]]'' episode "Now You're Cooking!" had Omoshi and Maryoku switching jobs, mostly because Omoshi was annoyed that Ooka bragged that Maryoku, the best wishsitter, would also be a great cook.
* In the ''[[My Gym Partners a Monkey]]'' episode "Le Switcheroo," the animal school's counselor Mr. Mandrill had the grouchy gym teacher Coach Gills and the [[Fish Out of Water|lone human student]] Adam Lyon trade places for a day when both began complaining to the principal about each other. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity Ensued]] when the entire school somehow fell for their [[Paper
* An episode of ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' had Stan and Roger swapping roles after Stan got frustrated with Roger acting like his concerns (running out of cookies to eat while watching [[Daytime Drama Queen|soap operas]]) are a big deal. Roger quickly gets stressed out with actual work, accidentally hits Francine, and the neighbors mistakenly get the idea that Stan is beating her (not at all helped by the fact that, to do Roger's "job", he lazes about the house all day in underwear and a bathrobe and lets his hygiene slide).
* ''[[Family Guy]]'' did the "kids and parents" version recently. Peter and Lois broke down after a couple days in high school while Chris did so well that Peter was fired and replaced by him. It seemed to be saying that "high school is hell" up until Chris got promoted and the additional workload drove him to alcoholism.
