By that logic, Farscape did it twice.
Or three times if you count two sets of switches in one episode.
Plus the "Won't Get Fooled Again/John Quixote" type episodes where you've got characters showing up as someone completely new.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
"Dreamland" was the actual body-swap episode for the X-Files. It's how Mulder got his waterbed!
Right, and that little moment at the end is great, but didn't they Quantum Leap it and have the actors continuing to play their own characters?

It depended on the POV, as I recall. If the camera was shooting from roughly Scully's POV, we saw MM. If it was Mulder POV, we saw DD. But it's been ages since I saw it.
Hmm. I think I need to own that season just to refresh my memory.

Was that the season right after the movie/production move to LA? I seem to confalte the two and also mark it as the beginning of my serious misgivings about where the show was going.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Season 6. The mythology was getting kinda wacky, but some of the stand-alone episodes from that season were fantastic.

It's been ages since I've seen the episode, but in my mind the actors always played their own characters, but reflections and such were of the body they were inhabiting, ala Quantum Leap. But, as I said, it's been ages.

I think I remember reading quotes from the interviews, but I don't remember where or just when. The link to the video might have been posted before, but I up until recently my internet access has been POTS dial-up, and I didn't want to wait out the download time.
