Operation Switchover

Operation Switchover is an episode of The Flintstones. 
== Summary ==
Fred Flintstone comes home from work, and finds out from Wilma that she sent Pebbles and Dino over to the Rubbles' house. Fred thinks she's planned a romantic evening for them, but she's actually tidied up the house for the staff of Good Cavekeeping Magazine, who are coming to determine if she's eligible for Housewife of the Year. The committee arrives, and are favorably impressed with Wilma's housekeeping skills. When they leave, they tell her she'll hear from them, and jokingly advise Fred to watch his waistline.
Both Fred and Wilma believe each other's jobs are a piece of cake. To settle the argument, they agree to switch jobs for one day. The next day, Wilma fills in for Fred at the quarry, while Fred becomes a prehistoric Mr. Mom, doing all the household chores.
Right from the start, everything goes wrong for Fred. The dishes break, the cake drops, and the iron burns a hole in Fred's clothes. Later, he decides to prepare rice for dinner, but he leaves it cooking too long, and it ends up in the yard, with Barney Rubble mistaking it for snow.
Wilma is doing no better. The men at the quarry have difficulty opening her lunchbox and she repeatedly drops rocks on Mr. Slate. Fed up, he angrily orders her to go home. During a phone call with Fred, she reveals that she and Betty are going out to dinner together. Fred invites Barney and a few other friends over to play cards, but then the editor of Good Cavekeeping calls to tell Fred Wilma won the grand prize of five hundred dollars and a trip to Rock Vegas. Realizing they're on their way, Fred has the men clean up the house, which they do just in the nick of time. Fred disguises himself as Wilma and plays hostess to the visitors.
The next morning, Fred admits what he did the night before as he brings Wilma breakfast in bed, and the morning paper. However, the photograph of him and the editor is on the front page, since he didn't prevent its publication in time. Wilma is shocked at first, but then tells him he sure could use a permanent. They both say, "What a picture!"
