Track show

Djinn and Water - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Jeannie's great grandfather Bilejk says, "The last time you summoned me to help someone was 1500 years ago." This cannot be possible because she was trapped in her bottle for 2000 years before she was freed by Tony in the first episode.

Permanent House Guest - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: Jeannie greets Roger with "hello Captain Healey" even though he and Tony have already been promoted to Major. Throughout the rest of the episode, It is "Major Healey". (00:06:55)

The Lady in the Bottle - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As Tony is suiting up for his mission, he's talking to the General (who happens to be the father of his fiancee). The General says that when Tony returns they will have a bachelor party for him. Tony is wearing a wedding ring, in later scenes he has none.

Trivia

Trivia: The Screen Gems sets of I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched were right next to each other at the studio, and many of the actual sets and props were shared between the two shows. Both shows also shared Dick Albain, the Special Effects expert, who worked on the two shows for quite awhile.

Questions

The Lady in the Bottle - S1-E1

Question: What language is Jeannie speaking at first and how do they get around the three wish rule?

Answer: As noted elsewhere here Jeannie is speaking Farsi.

What are the several things she says in Farsi? Please translate.

Answer: Regarding the three wishes, there was never any set-in-stone rule or belief. This appears to originate from "The Ridiculous Wishes" or "The Three Ridiculous Wishes" that is a French literary fairy tale written by Charles Perrault and was published in 1697. It sort of set the standard for genie rules that later appeared in other folk tales and then in movies and TV shows. Like vampire lore, common details can be changed by any author to suit their story.

Answer: She's speaking Persian. And there was never a 3 wish rule. When Tony freed her, he became her master, and she'd do anything for him (i.e. grant his every wish).
