The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places - February 26, 1989 “Harry Anderson makes his second appearance as the nutty professor Henry Crawford in Disney's The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places. While working on yet another formula, Anderson is talked into temporarily trading jobs with his ex-roomate Ed Begley Jr., a research computer specialist. 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.” (from IMDB) Promos for both on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXeEzbvBgw4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y394DlPCGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2QXAHJIewU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6qsvvkMtMk Medfield Cinematic Universe: The Shaggy Dog ‘59 The Absent Minded Professor ‘61 Son of Flubber ‘63 The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes ‘69 Now You See Him, Now You Don't ‘72 The Strongest Man in the World ‘75 The Shaggy D.A. ‘76 Return of the Shaggy Dog ‘87 The Absent Minded Professor ‘88 The Absent-Minded Professor: Trading Places ‘89 The Shaggy Dog ‘94 The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes ‘95 Flubber ‘97 The Shaggy Dog ‘06 #flubber #theabsentmindedprofessor #absentmindedprofessor #tradingplaces #harryanderson #nightcourt #themagicalworldofdisney #magicalworldofdisney #wonderfulworldofdisney #disney #disneyplus #waltdisney #edbegleyjr #marypagekeller #modelt #nbc #nbctv #absentmindedprofessor1988 #medfieldcollege #medfieldcinematicuniverse (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iKLy0BIDg/?igshid=pm6t7ruw7v53
