With Phil of the future, Johnny Test, and Dexter's Laboratory they
started off the series with strong TG themed episodes which were
never adequately followed up on, considering all three had great
Milfs in the show, a true disapointment.

Let's not forget Danny Phantom. Not once did he "overshadow" his
Mom (although he did briefly possess Sam's mom).

Yeah between Danny's ability to overshadow people and Amorpho
introduced far too late there's a lot of missed opportunities in
Danny Phantom.
Really disappointed that the "Til Death Do Us Part" episode of
X-Men didn't involve Morph turning into Jubilee to take her place
after sending her off into the trap and that the Proteus episode
didn't include the part from the original comic story where he
possesses a cute girl named Jennie Banks.
Spider-Man never having the Chameleon impersonate Deb Whitman,
Felicia Hardy/Black Cat and Mary Jane is another one.
And Deadman only sticking around for one episode in both Justice
League Unlimited and Brave and the Bold. Would've loved to see him,
in JLU, possess the likes of Shayera, Vixen, Stargirl, Supergirl,
Doctor Light, Tala, Giganta, Killer Frost...

As in the first post, am let down that the Star Trek shows did not
do more with changes of gender.

Too many to even count. Most of them cartoons or animes

Doctor Who springs to mind. There was the New Earth episode where
the Dr becomes possessed by Lady Cassandra but apart from that
nothing else. Also, still waiting for the day the Dr gets
regenerated into a woman.

One I can think of is from the Tiger & Bunny movie. Outlets for the
film said that the movie's super villain had the ability to "Switch
places" with people. At first, I thought that meant he had a body
swap ability like Ginyu. Nope, he just switches locations with
people by teleporting. Lame.

"...the Dr gets regenerated into a woman."
Again. IIRC, there was a brief one once... perhaps a special or
something.
Either way... You're not the only one.

@cj - Yeah, I recall it was for Comic Relief and the then Doctor
regenerated into Joanna Lumley. I believe the clips on YouTube somewhere
;)
I also recall Stephen Moffat (the current showrunner) saying in a recent interview
that he thinks there will be a Woman Doctor one day, but I get the
feeling it won't be under his stewardship.

There was also an "episode" from Big Finish in their Doctor Who
Unbound line-up(basically alternate versions of the Doctor) where
he regenerated as a woman - Doctor Who Unbound - Exile
Also in the show Supernatural, I wish that the shape-shifters could
have had larger stories(even the one in "Monster Movie" who had
been working as woman to get close to the woman he was obsessed
with was only on screen for like five minutes).

BEWITCHED -- The episode where Uncle Arthur and Samantha
accidentally switched voices made me wonder why he never
impersonated her -- especially as a practical joke on Darrin.

Not that it would necessarily have a TG element, but Even Stevens.
I remember thinking of a fantasy at the end of an episode when the
brother (Donny?) had a large math problem on a dry erase board. The
dad then sits down on it and his white shirt copies the equations,
to which Donny then said "I'm going to need to borrow your shirt."
My fantasy had Donny wearing the shirt to school to sort of use it
as a cheat sheet, but then he slowly started turning into his dad
throughout the day.
Hey, there was a body swap in Lizzie McGuire, and there were just a
bunch of Disney Freaky Friday episodes (albeit lame), so...why not?

I think the worst avoidance of TG in recent years was in Stargate
Universe. They had a device for switching bodies (they used it
mainly to communicate with Earth, switching bodies with an
Earthsider.) I don't know if they ever gender-switched, but they
always showed the switched people in their original bodies, not as
they really looked to everyone. Also, the fact that someone is
possessing someone else hardly ever was a factor in the plot; a
strong idea that was thrown away. Maybe the producers thought that
sf fans are too dumb to understand that this one person is actually
another. This takes all the interest out of body-switching and it
is profoundly false as to what is really happening. I hope TV will
dump the idea. It started with Quantum Leap, as far as I know.

Zeven, I agree. Pretty ironic though, for a tv show that was nearly
completely based around science and scientific theories and ideas.
They completely butchered that body swap idea with the stones and
everything. I anticipated a mix up or something so much, and it
never happened. No M2F, no body sharing, nothing.
Total snore!

Two And A Half Men!!!
Charlie messed with the wrong woman, she was a witch, she changes
Charlie into a woman (maybe Jenny McCarthy)...In time the new
female Charlie becomes as much of a man chaser as she was a woman
chaser when male.
��.
Ditto, like that one
��..
How about "Mork & Mindy"? There was one where Mork switched the
races of a few people, why not their genders too

I agree with everyone here in that I would love for a permanent
change, not a played for laughs, checklist of cliches tg episode.
But it would have to be consistent for that series, meaning that it
has to be a fantasy/magical series.
For example, when has magic figured in Two and a Half Men? There
was one episode when the loser brother was cursed, but you could
still explain it away as just bad luck (he had a stye). A gender
switch wouldn't have fit the tone of the series at all, no more
than having an alien visitor or a prolonged action sequence with
guns.
(Even though it would have rocked, and you would have gotten so
much mileage from that, considering the raunchines of the series).
Asking for a tg series is apparently wishing too much, but having a
supporting cast member be permanently changed and then have
subplots relating to that is possible, and adds a lot in terms of
character depth and good comedic and dramatic moments. I think
realistically, this would be our best bet.
So, yeah, Heroes was probably the biggest missed opportunity.
