Because she wants with her astronaut master/boyfriend Major Tony Nelson
(Larry Hagman) more than she already is (and is jealous of his sexy
secretary [Eileen O'Neill]), the beautiful genie Jeannie (Barbara Eden)
joins the Air Force intending to one day become Tony's secretary herself.
However, Tony, while unable to talk her out of it, at least managed to
make her promise to not use her genie-powers, thinking that would
discourage her before long. However, Jeannie's stubborn enough to get
through basic training in one piece and without cheating ... only when it
comes to determine her special talents, there aren't any - so she's tried
out in any position in the Air Force, and like a natural disaster, she
manages to blow any opportunity given to her, untli she lands (almost
literally) on Tony's desk. But just when she's supposed he's about to
leave for Nevada - but she didn't make all this way only to not be wich
him, so Jeannie creates a small-scale disaster in his office to get thrown
out of the Air Force again. Judging from its plot merely, this
episode is a bit far-fetched, and despite being narratively linked, the
portions of the story involving Major Nelson are married to the portions
of Jeannie in the Air Force rather poorly - and that said, this one is
lots of fun, as Barbara Eden really shows her comic talent here, and has
some really funny situations to work with. So no, it's not perfect, but
(at least if you're into the series to begin with) pretty hilarious!
