"Guess Who's Going to Be a Bride?" essentially switched gears this fifth season, the network insisting that the show emulate BEWITCHED for higher ratings by marrying off the genie and her master, the two stars vehemently objecting, as the sexual dynamic was how can any man fend off a beautiful blonde genie without giving in to temptation. Funny thing is, the network got their way yet still cancelled the series at season's end, killing the golden goose with their interference. Jeannie, joining the already cancelled STAR TREK, were two shows whose popularity actually increased afterwards, viewers able to watch them in better time slots than what NBC could offer, proving that the Peacock never appreciated their own lineup. This also served as the show's third and final two parter, the wedding held off for two months for the first week of December.
