JEANNIE - The Commercial

Air Date/Released Saturday, November 24, 1973
Station/Studio CBS / Hanna-Barbera Prods.
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

Saturday morning animated series, adapted from the NBC sitcom I DREAM OF JEANNIE (1965 - 1970). "Teenaged" Jeannie is released from a 1,500-year imprisonment in her bottle, by teenage surfer Corey Anders (STAR WARS' Mark Hamill). She is joined in her new life by Junior-Genie Babu (Joe Besser), a well-meaning bumbler whose magical call to action, "Yabble Dabble!," creates one goof-up after another. Complicating their adventures are Corey's goofy best friend Henry, and snooty rich kid S. Melvin Farthinghill.

Corey's tuition fund-raising efforts go from garage sale, to winning a "Most Typical High School Student" scholarship. Corey will earn the scholarship doing "Twisty Taffy" commercials, if he can cure his hiccups by the time the cameras roll. The commercial's egotistical costar, and Jeannie's and Babu's help, cause even more trouble.
