Fair Exchange

Fair Exchange

"Fair Exchange" was a television comedy that ran from 1962 to 1963 on CBS. It starred Eddie Foy Jr. and Audrey Christie. The show made a name for Judy Carne, who later appeared on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In".

The show replaced Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" on CBS's fall schedule in 1962. "Twilight Zone", though, would replace "Fair Exchange" mid-season, albeit in an hour-long format.

Premise

Eddie Walker (Eddie Foy Jr.) and Tommy Finch (Victor Maddern) were World War II veterans and old friends who decided to have their daughters live in the other's households for a year, since Eddie's daughter Patty (Lynn Loring) wanted to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. Whilst Patty lived in London with Tommy, his wife Sybil (Diana Chesney) and their son, Neville (Dennis Waterman), their daughter, Heather (Judy Carne) lived with Eddie and Dorothy Walker.

The show focused on the difficulties that Heather and Patty experienced as they lived in each other's families. This was the first hour-long sitcom, but didn't do so well, and was cancelled. After mail came in protesting CBS's decision, they brought it back, trimmed to a half hour, but again was not a ratings winner, and it was finally canceled.
