Ep36—Still Dream'in of Jeannie

Seen on the Small Screen Podcast

So it ends...one of the funniest television series from the 1960s fast forwarded to the far off year of 1991. It's the final television movie based on the I Dream of Jeannie series titled as if by anagram, I Still Dream of Jeannie, and Sammy the Cat, Becky, and Jake are on hand to grant your every wish, at least as it pertains to reviewing this episode. After Colonel Anthony Nelson is called into deep space on a mission of the utmost importance, our resident Jeannie goes on a quest to zap him back at the request of their son, Tony Jr. Unfortunately, the only way to get him back is to pinpoint his exact location from a dossier residing in a NASA fortress. And added to the difficulties, Jeannie's informed by her extra-planar boss that her time as a genie is set to expire, and to in order stay, she'll need to get an adult master who's under 21 and single. Cue a long series of events with wannabe bandits, bad tv cops, and Bob, Tony Jr.'s high school guidance counselor as they help and mostly hinder Jeannie from attaining a solution to all her problems in a timely 90-minute manner. The rules of the genie realm will never be the same!
