I Dream of Jeannie

30Leave it.

The wish is the problem. A woman in a bottle is not a comedy a house needs to keep.

The review

An astronaut on a beach finds a bottle, and the woman inside calls him master and rearranges his week to please him. The country made it a hit in the same years as Bewitched, and the two are not the same marriage. Bewitched is a vow to refrain. This is a servant he is hiding. The laughs are the wreck the wishes make of his job. The wreck is funny only if you have agreed that a woman in a bottle is a reasonable premise for a home.

I would not put it on as the harmless cousin of the better fantasy. Say what the bottle is: a person owned, played as a gift. Adults who grew up on it can laugh at the memory and still decline to pass it down unremarked. If a child sees one, the sentence afterward is not optional. Nobody in the house is a wish with a smile.

Journal

Keep I Dream of Jeannie in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 30. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Jujutsu Kaisen

43 instead of 30

Jujutsu Kaisen is still a fantasy show, and it scores 43 instead of 30. What you gain is courage: He accepts a death sentence for a person he just met.

The eight

3
Industry
He has a job at the space agency. The job is the scenery the wishes keep wrecking.
4
Household
He will not marry her for a long time, and the show enjoys the delay as a premise.
2
Piety
A genie is a theology played as a parlor trick. Nobody treats that as a question.
3
Courage
The risks are social. He is afraid of his superiors, not brave for anyone.
2
Republic
A space program is a public, used here as a boss who must not find out.
3
Temperance
The whole engine is appetite: blink, and the inconvenient fact disappears.
4
Truth
The premise is a lie he tells at work. The show thinks the lie is the charm.
3
Stewardship
A boy inherits a woman who exists to grant, and a man who is embarrassed by her.

30Leave it.

The selfishness is the joke and the confession. Famous, and not a model. Adults.

The review

The finale years of this show were a national appointment, and the appointment was to watch four people fail every test of neighborliness and be applauded for the wording. The wording is often brilliant. A small social truth — the double dip, the close talker, the reserved car — is seen clearly.

Clarity about pettiness is not the same as a life. Adults can love a line and still refuse to live in the apartment. Do not let a young person take it as a personality. The show's own last judgment, that they were terrible, is the one it earned.
