Not really a sequel to I Dream of Jeannie ... 15 Years Later (1985 tvm), but placed chronologically later in the lives of the Nelson family. Tony Nelson Sr has been away on a mysterious space mission for three months; Sister Jeannie joyously discovers there is a rule that a Genie without an earthbound master for that period of time must return to the higher Reality, so Jeannie sets about trying to find a temporary master. Son Tony, meantime, is captured by a pair of bumbling crooks. Jeannie sorts everything out with the aid of Magic. This is rather good at being what it is: unambitious, occasionally witty entertainment. [JG]
