TV Character Swap!

April Fools Day rolls around and, much like the Great Comics Switcheroonie, TV has swapped characters from one show to another. This isn’t just cameos, but full on replacement for one show, in character. For example, tuning into Warehouse 13, Gregory House is using his diagnosis team to determine which Artifact is causing a people to run low on hemoglobin (“It’s not vampires!”). Meanwhile, on House, M.D., Myka noticed something unusual about the patient’s toes, but Peter is sure that there’s something in the patient’s heart; Artie tries to convince Mrs. Frederic that open-heart surgery is the only way to verify Pete’s feeling without killing.

What swaps would you like to see and what would be the ramifications?

“It’s never werewolves.” is the better pun there, I feel.

I’d like to see Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon get analyzed by Lie To Me’s Cal Lightman.

3

Bill’s wives from Big Love are reassigned to new polygamist cultleader Kenneth Ellen Parcell from 30 Rock. None ever have sex again, but strangely they all become pregnant. Meanwhile Liz Lemon becomes the new coach for Vocal Adrenoline on GLEE while Sue Sylvester fills in for Hannah Montana, and Ugly Betty’s gay nephew Justin fills in for Barney on How I Met Your Mother.

4

They could do a True Blood version of Baywatch.

Or maybe CSI:VLA.

5

That would put a new spin on the Baywatch theme song.

etc.

6

Meanwhile, Jack Donaghy becomes head of NBC-Universal-GE-Sheinhardt Wig Company-Kabletown’s latest acquisition, the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.

7

I’d like to see Kramer sublet Penny’s apartment in The Big Bang Theory. Steel Cage Death Match between Cosmo and Sheldon.

8

Law and Order: Bauer Intent
Jack Bauer would freaking solve every case ever on Law and Order by torturing and beating confessions out of people. McCoy would be in the courtroom and all Jack has to do is quietly come in and take a seat in the audience and the opposing counsel would shit his pants and have his client plead guilty

9

Or Kramer replaces Wilson as House’s best friend.

Actually, Kramer, House or Sheldon could be dropped into just about any show, and result in total disaster.

10

Let the Bings hire Nanny Fran Fine to help with the twins. The resemblance to Janice would make for lots of laughs.

11

I don’t know why, but I suddenly had an image of Sheldon needing an attorney and contacting Seinfeld’s Jackie Childs.

12

Angel joins Baywatch and is reduced to a pile of dust.

13

Steve Urkel joins Friends as the wacky neighbor and token black person. He transforms into Stephan and one of the girls starts dating him

14

You could swap a couple of medical examiners around. Everyone at NCIS would be wondering why Dr. Isles looked so familiar, and on TNT would be Rizzoli & Ducky.

15

I’d like to swap Dr. House (from House) and Dr. Cox (from Scrubs) just to see if any of the other characters notice.

16

Swap House with Monk.

17

Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy bunks in the Swamp with BJ and Charles. Hawkeye competes with Captain Kirk for all the fine ladies aboard the USS Enterprise.

Spock still thinks that the ship’s doctor is highly illogical.

18

The entire cast of Star Trek: Voyager are Special Guest Stars on Police Squad!

19

OK, that was funny. :smiley:

20

Swap Frank Costanza with Arthur Spooner.
