Was another unusual(and odd)episode.Jeannie,once again,is jealous,and turns Roger into a poodle,and it is odd and unusual because it features a very mild argument between Jeannie and Roger.This is the first and ONLY time(or is it?),when this has happened.Usually,it is Tony and Jeannie who get into arguments.Another odd and clever segment was when Dr.Bellows was going to Gen.Peterson to tell him about Roger being a dog,and has second thoughts about it(with Dr.Bellows thinking to himself about what is going to happen when he goes to Gen.Peterson's office

...Sidney Sheldon wrote that featured a running gag about Roger trying to fix up a double date with Tony and two beauty contest winners, "Miss Galaxy" and "Miss Universe" {one of them was originally identifed as "Miss America", but Sheldon was forced to loop those sections where "Miss America" was mentioned because the Miss America Organization wouldn't allow him to use their "authorized" name, even in a fictional context}- the first was "My Hero?" [9/25/65], where, at the end, Jeannie "undresses" Tony (clad in a towel) at his front door as Roger and the girls arrive, "accidentally" locking him out of the house. This time, he thinks he's "outmastered" her when he insists on going through with the date at the very end, but she turns them into dogs {ROGER: "Oh, you're the old master, all right..."/"TONY: "Thanks, Rog..."/ROGER: "I can't think of a more perfect evening than giving Miss Galaxy and Miss Universe a flea and tick bath!"/TONY: "JEANNIE!!!!!!"}. The third time was in "There Goes the Best Genie I Ever Had" [2/20/67], in which Jeannie LETS him keep his date, while trying to be more "obedient" than ever, so he won't send her back to Haji at midnight....
