Custer (Bill Mumy), a boy from the neighbourhood, witnesses genie
Jeannie (Barbara Eden) levitating her master Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman)
and later disappearing into her bottle. Fortunately, his parents (Herb
Voland, Grace Albertson) don't believe "such nonsense" when he
tells it to them - but Dr Bellows (Hayden Rorke), chief NASA psychiatrist,
does ... and he soon joins the boy spying on Tony, just to find out what's
going on in his unusual life, something that has bugged Dr Bellows for
quite some time now. Of course, it doesn't take Tony long to catch Dr
Bellows spying on him - which doesn't solve anything, because he knows the
boy must somehow be silenced ... but how? Then Custer disappears, and Tony
fears for the worst, because who knows what Jeannie might have done using
her magic - but no, he just went to the carnival and saw a woman
levitating - and now he thinks he knows how the trick works ... Rather
weak episode of I Dream of Jeannie - botht he build-up and
the solution leave something to be desired, and the gags are certainly not
first rate. Sure, there's still the occasional giggle-worthy moment in
there, and Hagman and Eden just work amazingly well together, but on top
of that ...
