Double Duty Props - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi Y'all. I need a litttle help if you would please.

Many actors have played many roles on different shows. Some have even played different characters on the same show. (Paul Lynde immediately comes to mind.) Props and sets as well served in many TV series.

One such prop in particular is the '64 Smoke Jim Beam Bottle, the iconic genie bottle from "I Dream of Jeannie".

On another message board (The Jeannie Journal), I was reminded that these bottles were used in an episode of "Alice". It's the episode where the waitresses go to work in a Middle Eastern themed restaurant. I remember seeing the episode when it aired all those many years ago (Can it really be 30???), and noticed the unpainted bottles which were used to serve beverages.

This is where I need the help. Can anyone tell me which episode this is, please? Title and number?

I've watched a few episodes on Ion, hoping to catch it. Unfortunately they're so hacked up, it's kinda painful to watch. Not to mention confusing at times.

Thanks in advance,
Sloe Djinn

P.S.
If anyone is interested, one of the bottles from the 1st season of IDoJ, the "Gold Vines" bottle was used in a later episode of "Tabitha"

Sounds like Florence of Arabia. 2nd season episode, should be coming up in 3-4 weeks (they just started the 2nd season today, and it's one toward the end of the season) I'm gonna guess on or about May 28th, if they continue to show them in original airdate order.

Thank you. I'll be sure to catch it. I had gone through the episode guide on TV.com (I think) and thought it might me that one or "86 The Waitress". But as I watched it the other night, I'm thinking that it probably is "Florence of Arabia".

Only time will tell!

On Florence of Arabia, Flo is going out with a shiek, who proposes to her. She accepts, not knowing he already has 2 wives. At the party (which is probably where the bottle is), Alice and Vera dress up in Indian garb, disguising themselves so they can get in and warn her.

According to the online listings guide at titantv.com, Florence of Arabia is scheduled to air on Friday May 25th.

Thanks FredScuttle. It's also on the DirecTV schedule, so it's a pretty good bet. I've already got it on my Autotune.

I'm a little late in posting this, but...I caught the episode "Florence of Arabia" and yes, the bottles used in the restaurant scene were indeed '64 Beams. In fact, the one that Alice held is probably one from the 1st season of IDoJ. The "golden vines" design. The one that Vera and the other waitress had were both unpainted ones.
