Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLarry Hagman was very hesitant about sitting next to Zamba the full grown African Lion. Barbara Eden, despite being pregnant at the time, had no trouble petting the beast during filming. Owned by Exotic animal trainer Ralph Helfer, the same lion also appeared in the opening credits of The Addams Family (1964). Zamba had also appeared on the Gilligan's Island episode "Feed the Kitty" (1966), where he took a flying leap at Bob Denver, but the animal's trainer caught him in mid-air before any harm was done.

A 2000 year old genie tries to become a typical modern woman
"The Americanization of Jeannie" finds our intrepid genie trying to learn the ways of modern women, which she does by studying a magazine article. Coming home to a messy house makes Tony angry, Jeannie's shopping spree coming at the expense of his credit card. Dining out does not go very well either, with a suddenly jealous Jeannie joining the belly dancer's gyrations: "she moves as gracefully as a dog scratching fleas!" As a demonstrator for the new miracle oven, she resorts to using her magical powers as an inducement to earn her commissions. Resigned to her inability to become a typical modern woman, Jeannie is content to remain an extraordinary genie.
