My Master the Ghost Breaker

[tnjsdaughter]

I loved this episode! I have it on DVD and I watch it constantly but I have a few questions about the episode.

1. When we first see Roger Tony and Jeannie, they are at Tony's house. Tony is sitting on the arm of the couch looking at some papers. Roger and Jeannie are sitting on the couch next to each other. Jeannie is wearing a really pretty yellow dress with stripes on it.
If they are at home with nobody else around why wouldn't Jeannie be wearing her harem costume?
2. When James Ashley shows up, Jeannie doesn't blink out and Tony introduces her to him. Normally when there is company Jeannie blinks out and hides somewhere. Why wouldn't she this time?
3. After they all get to England and go to "Tony's house" Mr. Ashley doesn't question Tony and Jeannie's relationship. He doesn't say anything if they are married or whatever. It is not normal for two people to be living together if they aren't married and he never asked.
4. Mr. Ashley tried to pick up the suitcases, but he couldn't because they were too heavy. Jeannie picked them up with no problem. Wouldn't he have questioned that? No woman Jeannie's size could pick up those heavy suitcases as easily as she did.
5. After the "hauntings" started Jeannie wanted to leave but Tony told her they were staying. If Jeannie really wanted to leave, she could have, all she had to do was blink them home, but she didn't. Why didn't she?
6. After the fat guy showed up claiming he was the owner of the house Tony asked him who sold him the house he said Edward Ashley. In the beginning of the episode he called himself James Ashley. Which is it? James or Edward?

The things I like about this episode was:
1. Jeannie had a carrying case for her bottle. I thought that was so neat! Kind of like an RV for a genie.
2. I also liked when Jeannie said "I think I am going to sleep in my bottle." I loved the way she said it and how she hurriedly grabbed her bottle case and took her bottle out and set it down. It was so funny! ;D
3. Another thing I liked was when Jeannie kissed Tony before she turned to smoke to go into her bottle to sleep. It was so sweet.
4. When the chandelier almost fell on them and Jeannie jumped into Tony's arms was really sweet. He just held her and she put her face into his chest. Awww.
5. I also liked the part when Jeannie told Tony that she believed in ghosts and Tony said he didn't and then she said: "Do you not believe in genies?" LOL. She had a point there.

I really liked this episode but there were some things I had to question. If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! ;D

I liked this episode too. I am going to think about those answers, before I actually answer them though =D

1. When we first see Roger Tony and Jeannie, they are at Tony's house. Tony is sitting on the arm of the couch looking at some papers. Roger and Jeannie are sitting on the couch next to each other. Jeannie is wearing a really pretty yellow dress with stripes on it. If they are at home with nobody else around why wouldn't Jeannie be wearing her harem costume?

Beginning with season three the writers may a concerted effort to show Jeannie in regular clothes more frequently. This, along with the unexplained revision of Tony's house that same season, was part of a "modernizing trend."

2. When James Ashley shows up, Jeannie doesn't blink out and Tony introduces her to him. Normally when there is company Jeannie blinks out and hides somewhere. Why wouldn't she this time?

See above. When Jeannie was not in a harem costume, Tony was more lenient about letting others see her, as he did in Hawaii. It also allowed Jeannie and Ashley to meet up front.

3. After they all get to England and go to "Tony's house" Mr. Ashley doesn't question Tony and Jeannie's relationship. He doesn't say anything if they are married or whatever. It is not normal for two people to be living together if they aren't married and he never asked.

They have already met back in the USA.

This is part of what makes it a comedy.

5. After the "hauntings" started Jeannie wanted to leave but Tony told her they were staying. If Jeannie really wanted to leave, she could have, all she had to do was blink them home, but she didn't. Why didn't she?

See answer to number four.

6. After the fat guy showed up claiming he was the owner of the house Tony asked him who sold him the house he said Edward Ashley. In the beginning of the episode he called himself James Ashley. Which is it? James or Edward?

It was Edward Ashley in both scenes.

The things I like about this episode was:
1. Jeannie had a carrying case for her bottle. I thought that was so neat! Kind of like an RV for a genie.

Yes, she used this case periodically in seasons three and four.

2. I also liked when Jeannie said "I think I am going to sleep in my bottle." I loved the way she said it and how she hurriedly grabbed her bottle case and took her bottle out and set it down. It was so funny! ;D

5. I also liked the part when Jeannie told Tony that she believed in ghosts and Tony said he didn't and then she said: "Do you not believe in genies?" LOL. She had a point there.

Agreed on all counts.

I realize that, but he didn't ask back in the US either.

I know but it still makes you wonder why he didn't question it.

5. After the "hauntings" started Jeannie wanted to leave but Tony told her they were staying. If Jeannie really wanted to leave, she could have, all she had to do was blink them home, but she didn't. Why didn't she?

See answer to number four.

She still could have very easily blinked out, but she didn't and I was just wondering why she didn't consider it.

6. After the fat guy showed up claiming he was the owner of the house Tony asked him who sold him the house he said Edward Ashley. In the beginning of the episode he called himself James Ashley. Which is it? James or Edward?

It was Edward Ashley in both scenes.

I can promise you it wasn't. I have watched this episode innumerable times and in the beginning he definitely says James Ashley. I have even rewound the DVD to watch that scene several times and I definitely get the same thing.

To the James/Edward thing: 1. Both names are fake, each for a con; 2. They're both his name, but one is his given(first) name & the other his middle name. 3. The writers mixed up & forgot the name they used.
