[net.tv] Jeanie Question

jgw@rabbit.UUCP (Jay G. Wilpon) (07/05/84)

Since, we seem to be having a problem with Jeanie's
sister's name, how about Jeanie's mother's name
(also played by Barbara Eden.) She had gray hair
and talked with a Jewish mother's accent.

I cannot believe the confusion which abounds from these questions!

First of all, the character Barbara Eden plays is named "Jeannie", not
"Jeanie".

Secondly, Jeannie's sister is also named Jeannie.

Thirdly, Jeannie's mother is named Jeannie also, although Jeannie always calls
her Mama.  In general, all the female genies are named "Jeannie".

Dr. Bellows' first name is Alfred, his wife's first name is Amanda.

Like I said before, I Dream of Jeannie airs in the NYC area on channel 11 (WPIX)
at 6:00 am weekdays.  They are now in the middle of the famous "Moon Safe"
set of episodes where Tony and Roger try to get Jeannie out of a safe which is
scheduled to be on the next moon shot.
