About
Switched is an American TV series that ran from 2003 through 2004 in which two teens from different cities in the United States were given a chance to swap lives to see how the other one lived. Teens were able to experience the lives of others and experiment with new families and cultures. Teen celebrities often starred on the show, such as pop singer Skye Sweetnam, Jennifer Freeman from My Wife and Kids, Ashlie Brillault from Lizzie McGuire, basketball star Candace Parker, and Kyle Sullivan and Jamie Lynn Spears from All That.
An 8-episode spinoff called "Switched Up!", featuring adults instead of teens, aired in 2004.
