"What House Across the Street?" finds Jeannie still in marriage mode, willing to wed Roger if her master doesn't comply. Her genie Mama (Lurene Tuttle) visits with advice on how to reach the altar, Roger ecstatic that Jeannie has accepted his marriage proposal. With no home of her own to welcome Captain Healey, Jeannie blinks up a house on the vacant lot across from the Nelson residence, with a family consisting of commercial advertisements come to life. By some coincidence, the new owner of the property happens to be Dr. Bellows, who spots a house where there wasn't one a few hours ago, while inside Captain Healey endures an evening of torture listening to one pitch after another from Jeannie's 'parents' (left holding the bag once again). In episode 2 "My Hero?" Jeannie's mother and father were both mortals, so the mythology changed not only from one year to the next, but during the season as well. The episode's one shot general is played by the familiar face of Jack Collins, while the very next entry would introduce the show's longest lasting general in Barton MacLane's Martin Peterson.

For some reason they keep having Jeannie wanting to marry Captain Nelson in almost every episode. Thewriters already look like they're in trouble. Somehow this got ratings??
You notice throughout the series Dr. Bellows likes to just walk in Tony's house. Sometimes though Tony or Roger will not shut the door when they walk in. Back to this episode.... Jeannie asks her Mom for advise about getting married. Jeannie blinks in a house across the street, all those nice homes around how would there be a vacant lot there???
Dr. Bellows is walking down the street, why he wouldn't have driven to his new lot he purchased is a mystery. He and the random General are going to see his lot and somehow they didn't see the house Jeannie blinked in??????
She blinks it out right before Dr. Bellows and the General arrive. How did this show survive?????
