Over the course of the show, we saw Jeannie leave the room when she and Tony go into the bedroom with each other. Did you ever feel confused about this?

Many people hate being associated with a single character for the rest of their careers. Barbara did not mind it so much. “She’s not human; this is a fantasy,” she shared with The Chicago Tribune. The actress went on, “She was a genie: It was her job, and she loved her job. The word ‘master’ — note the semantics — it may mean one thing to humans. But to a genie, that’s what (Maj. Nelson) was. And that’s all. He was the first to take the cap off the bottle. You can’t compare a career girl with a genie.”
