The series premiered on March 8, 2006 and followed two families of three, one white and the other one black. Through studio-quality makeup, the two families- the Wurgels and the Sparks- traded races and experienced what life is like in another family’s shoes. The Wurgels (white family) moved to a neighbourhood in Atlanta, while the Sparkses (Black family) moved to LA. The show ran for only a single season.
Right from the beginning of the show, the streamers couldn’t stop from laughing. The show showcased social issues ranging from race, politics and many more. The theme gave them giggles because of an absurd statement as the theme of the show started playing, which reads: “My name is Bruno, and I am a black person.” This is somewhat a bizarre way to start a show.

With the progression of the show the trio encountered more laughable moments from the show, whereby HasanAbi said: “No, it’s really bad. This is really bad. Listen, it’s really bad.”
Initially, all the three of them watching the show were really confused by the plot of the show, and they had many objections regarding some of its contents.They were amused by the situations and the problems each family had to face and the socio-political issue that it had raised. Moreover, through most of the episodes they had much fun and burst into laughter. JPEGMAFIA even got to a point where he said, “It’s like, it was made for me to watch.”
