[net.tv] Jeanie Questions

Richard Mulligan was the third astronaut.
I dont think it was a mission to the  moon ,though.

About Jeanie's sister's name.
Just think of Rodger and Tony talking about something
Jeanie did, then realizing that it was Jeanie's sister.
I cant picture either one saying the name Jeanie II !!

I dont know maybe it was, but i still dont think so.

I think the confusion stems from the nature of the English language.
Probably the quote goes something like this:
Tony: What's your sister's name?
Jeanie: Oh, she's Jeanie, too.

Thus her name is Jeanie, also, not Jeanie, two.

(Remember when the Beverly Hillbillies became Irish?  Same sort of thing.)

The quote could have been ;
Tony: What is your sister?
Jeanie: Oh, she's a jeanie, too.

Thus Jeanie wouldnt be her name.

I still checking out this question!
(its really bothering me)
