A Lot Of California Landmarks
In case you did not know, the TV show was meant to take place in Cape Kennedy, Florida. As a matter of fact, the address of Tony Nelson was said to be 1020 Palm Drive, Cocoa Beach. But the truth was that the exterior of the office used by Roger Healey was the main building of the Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, which was near Los Angeles! They originally shot Cocoa Beach episodes in the Hollywood Hills.

The Title Of A 1854 Parlor Ballad
There is more to the title of the show than just a play on “genie.” This was also the title of a parlor ballad from 1854! The original song “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair” was sung by Stephen Foster. Its opening line goes, “I Dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair.” The whole show was actually based on existing works. Isn’t it impressive to hear that its origin story goes all the way back to the 1800s?
