Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Harry Anderson makes his second appearance in the role made famous in the 1960s by Fred MacMurray in The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places. While working on yet another "miracle" formula, Anderson is talked into briefly trading jobs with his ex-roomate Ed Begley Jr., a research computer. As usual, the professor gets in over his head, and before long he's chased around by all sorts of mysterious characters. The gimmick this time is a "mystery invention" disguised as a tennis ball. The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places first aired February 26, 1989, as a two-hour episode of TV's The Magical World of Disney.
