"Who Are You Calling a Genie?" opens with Dr. Bellows accidentally knocking out Jeannie at NASA, with her attorney present, Harley Z. Pool (Richard Deacon), a litigious legend in his own mind. X-rays indicate that Jeannie's brain is transparent, and suffering from amnesia she naturally doesn't remember her master, screaming at the sight of him. In trying to convince her that she lives in a bottle in her master's home, she promises not to tell anyone where to find him! She blinks a knight on horseback into her room, then mistakenly turns Dr. Bellows into a mouse, believing what Tony described her to be, a world famous female magician. Unless Jeannie regains her memory, the long suffering doctor is bound for the moon in a cage. The only disappointment is that Richard Deacon's role isn't larger, a constant delight on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW.

Warning: Spoilers
This series tended to get a lot of guest stars. This one got Richard Deacon from the Dick Van Dyke show. Old baldy is very effective as an ambulance chasing lawyer who just happens to be visiting NASA when Dr. Bellows opens a door and knocks out jeannie erasing her memory. The script here is funny taking full advantage as Deacon enlists her to sue NASA for millions.
Dr Bellows -is he a man or a mouse? Tune in to find out in this one.
Roger gets his dream come true at the end of the show.
Nasa might never be the same.
Roger can not seem to concentrate nd then he loses his memory too. Fun
Fun Fun
