Just once would like Jeannie's sister to visit without trying to break them up - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Anyone else think it would have been nice to see more dimensions to Jeannie II's character? It would have been nice, at least once or twice to see Jeannie and her sis have some Samantha and Serena type moments, where they actually work together on SOMETHING.

I think uniting to take down the Blue Djinn would have been perfect, I wanna say if Jeannie II REALLY say Jeannie in serious trouble she would have helped.

I have more an issue with Jeannie being so naive about her sister every time she came by. Jeannie was smarter than that (at least in season 1) and should have never really trusted Jeannie II after the first couple of backstabbing visits.

Barbara Eden did state recently that the sister costume being green was a nod to her being "green with envy." I never thought of it that way, but it's clever.

Yeah I used to wonder this why Jeannie always was so naive about her sis, BUT I always assumed that perhaps Jeannie II made several off-screen visits, that we didn't see, in between her on-screen visits, and maybe in those were just NORMAL visits like I mentioned it would have been nice if we saw.

So maybe during those off-screen visits they patched things up.

And I always assumed Jeannie II wore green b/c green is kinda the color associated with GO....in other words, free spirited, if you see something you like GO FOR IT. Whereas Jannie wore red and pink...pink kinda signifying innocence and red meaning STOP... I think that describes Jeannie's personality...innocent and very reserved.
