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.

Come to think of it ...

There was an episode of "Oh My Goddess" when Megumi got turned into a car
by Mara.  So -- how about a new spin on "My Mother The Car"?
