 Phil Lease 2004-07-21 . chapter 1 I think TV shows should hire fans to keep the continuity and fix the little mistakes (or big ones). Personally I like to make sure that what I write later matches up with what I wrote first, you'd think script writers would do this and that prop people would check to make sure everything's just right. Anyways, 'nuff ranting, cute little story! Very short and nicely done. |
 Barry I. Grauman 2004-01-12 . chapter 1 I see...and then, Roger makes the BIG mistake of asking Jeannie (who just HAPPENED to pop into his office) for help in correcting his name plate, and he winds up looking like a completely DIFFERENT "Healy" (only his voice clues us in to his real identity, of course)...you can imagine what might happen next! {"I think my blink is on the blink!"/"Look, don't you genies have circuit breakers or something, I can't go around looking like THIS!! I mean, I've heard of altered personalities, but this is ridiculous!"}
Seriously, though, the frequent misspelling of Roger's last name has been a source of irritation
for those who've followed "JEANNIE" over the years- including that 1966 Pocket Books original novel which winds up as off-kiltered as "Healy's"
name, for those who've had a chance to read it,
and the prop men at Screen Gems/Columbia, who also provided us with that door marked "GEN. M. SHAEFFER" towards the end of the fourth season, and never bothered to alter it (never mind the fact that General Schaeffer's first name is Winfield). But, then again, in the unaired version of the "JEANNIE" pilot episode, the closing credits list Larry Hagman as "Capt. Anthony WILSON", despite Sidney Sheldon's assertion in his first script that it was indeed "Nelson" and "HEALEY"!
Need I say more?
Oh yes, good vignette...more, if you please... |
