It's interesting that female genies come and go. Same with witches. How many shows has the west had about witches? Bewitched, two or three Sabrina cartoons, 1 Sabrina live action. Genies? I dream a Genie and that Hanna Barbara Jeanie cartoon.
I Dream a Genie and Bewitched both get to the heart of the issue and were about marrying the magical woman. Its kind of amazing to think America was doing this in 1965. No beating around the bush like with stuff like Buffy with rhe off and off again. No, from episode 1 you know they're together.
Also kind of wild just how much of anime was inspired from those two shows. Even Urusei Yatsura was partially inspired from I dream a genie and Jeanie the cartoon. The way Lum floats around and the way she has amazing powers.
But I digress. I wish if American TV was going to give up on action cartoons they would embrace stuff like this again and not mainly focus on school cartoons.
Anyway, have a western cartoon jeanie. This was 1973. Funny how far back this concept of genie women in harem clothes goes
