Guess What Happened on the Way to the Moon? - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: During the episode Tony and Roger are dropped in the desert to see how they can survive for a week. At one point Tony orders Jeannie to stop interfering. She pops out and Tony spots a "large cat" up on a rock. Close up of the cat, shot of Tony picks up rock, shot of cat leaping. You can see a rope tied to the cat.

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).
