Tony saves Jeannie's life when he has to make a pilgrimage to Mecca to prevent her from vanishing into Limbo forever.

I must confess, this is one of my favorite of the IDOJ episodes. It is one of the more serious ones, although the comedy between Roger Healey and Doctor Bellows as Roj does a favor for Tony and Tony and Jeannie in the Thieves' Market is pretty good. What really drives this episode, though, is the love that Tony has for Jeannie to sacrifice his career to make the trip to Mecca to save her. This is one of the few times that, when presented with a situation that could spell all kinds of trouble for Tony, he steps up to the plate unhesitating and not yelling at Jeannie. It is also great to see him saving her for a change, since normally, she gets him out of trouble at the end. The vanishing effect is very well done, too (it would later be repeated in "The Girl Who Never Had a Birthday"), and the ending where Jeannie and Tony ride away in a carriage is so romantic.moreless

ADD QUOTES
- (Jeannie is not feeling herself and in trying to conjure up Tony's breakfast, has only managed to conjure half of everything - half an egg etc.)
  Tony: Jeannie (examining the cut-in-half cup with coffee in it) I'd ask you to conjure up a doctor but I hate to see what he'd look like.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jeannie : On the day of Ram, every Genie and her master must make a pilgrimage to Mecca.
  Tony : Well, I faced east when I shaved this morning. Isn't that enough?
  EDIT SHARE
- Jeannie (doesn't feel fine): Perhaps it is finally my age?

NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- Jamie Farr wasn't the only future cast member of "M*A*S*H" to make an appearance on the show. Mike Farrell, who played Captain B.J. Hunnicutt, also made an appearance as an Air Force major in Part 3. of the four parter "Genie, Genie Who's Got the Genie".
  EDIT SHARE
- Jamie Farr, of course, would later play the cross dressing Corporal Max Klinger on M*A*S*H, which also featured Wayne Rogers, who would take over the role of Tony Nelson from Larry Hagman in the "I Dream of Jeannie" reunion movie.
