And "I Dream of Jeannie" might even be one of the prototypes for Magical Girlfriend anime
and manga in general.  At least, I have heard the theory put forth.

On the other hand, wouldn't Ranma-chan look cute in Jeanie's costume?  ^_^

(Suddenly thinking of the chaos if Ranko/Ranma-chan was a genie.)

Who would be a good anime guy to give her to to mess up his life?  I am thinking Tenchi
Masaki or Kyousuke Kasuga.  Both of them try really hard to prevent the world from
noticing anything odd going on in their lives. 
Actually, the space pirate Ryouko as a genie is also an amusing sort of idea.  It would
certainly be a new way to spin the Tenchi Muyou cast, although I suddenly have this image
of Washu in adult form as a sort of Endora clone (from Bewitched, another Magical
Girlfriend type of story if ever there was one).

Jurai Knight is now going to wander off.
