Grier received positive reviews for his role in the TV movie The Desperate Mission (1969) and then landed a recurring role alongside Fess Parker in the hugely popular children's TV series Daniel Boone (1964).

He kept busy with work in other TV shows and appeared in several feature films including Skyjacked (1972), The Thing with Two Heads (1972) and Timber Tramps (1975).

However, in this episode he is playing the character of General Watson but it would be a few weeks until he would join the cast in the more familiar role of no nonsense General Winfield Schaeffer. Guest star Sabrina Scharf played Miramanee on STAR TREK's "The Paradise Syndrome." When Tony gets the cuff placed on his wrist, he informs Dr. Bellows that he has a right to counsel under the "Universal Code of Military Justice", but it's "Uniform Code of Military Justice", not "Universal". 10.  How to Marry an Astronaut December 9, 1968 "I missed you sister dear." - Jeannie II Jeannie II returns with a plan help Jeannie get Tony to marry her.

However, it turns out that this is just another scheme by Jeannie II to finally get Tony into her clutches. Director: Hal Cooper, Writer: James S. Henerson Guest starring: Emmaline Henry Barbara Eden's cries for help from inside the champagne bottle were real. As a prank, director Claudio Guzmán called "lunch!" and had everyone leave the set, leaving Eden trapped in the bottle. While everyone waited in a nearby hallway, the cameras kept rolling, and the resulting footage was shown on TV. The title was based upon the movie How to Marry a Millionaire (1953). Barbara Eden starred in the short run of the television series based upon the movie. The restaurant Tony and Roger are drinking coffee at was actually Tony's upstairs study converted into a restaurant with tables and chairs. If you look closely, you can see the same brown bannister post Tony has in his study. 11.  Dr. Bellows Goes Sane December 16, 1968 "General Pettrson, quick it's snowing in your office." - Dr. Alfred Bellows Dr. Bellows has gathered what he believe's is a complete Dossier on Tony and he intends to present it to General Peterson.

And that goes double for teenagers!" - Major Anthony Nelson Tony picks up a teenage hitchhiker named Suzy who happens to be the daughter of his new neighbor, General Schaeffer. Schaeffer is a stickler for efficiency and hates all hippies, including Suzy's boyfriend Harold (a very spaced out one at that). Suzy, afraid of having her father see her in her dressed in hippy style clothes, hides out in Tony's house and winds up seeing Jeannie pop in. Suzy then blackmales Tony into hiding out Harold or else she will spill the beans about Jeannie. Director: Claudio Guzman, Writer: James S.

When the impostor discovers Jeannie he thinks he is losing his mind. In part 2 Tony returns home and has to convince Jeannie that he is not the phony Tony, who turns out to be a double agent working for a foreign power. Director: Hal Cooper, Writer: James S. Henerson Guest starring: Benny Rubin, Joe la Grasso, Jerry Shane This two part story was accompanied by Jeannie World Sweepstakes contest in which viewers could win a trip for two around the world and $1,000. All they had to do was correctly guess to which Mediterranean island Major Nelson was sent to by Dr. Bellows. Jeannie announced it in a tag after the show with a large world globe. The winner was announced after episode 16, "Invisible House For Sale". Grip and prop maker Joe Leitel took the part of the Air Policeman in this two-parter for fun (he was credited as Joe la Grasso). Later in life he became an award winning professional bodybuilder. In one scene midway through, Barbara Eden's navel is exposed. 15.  Ride 'Em Astronaut January 27, 1969 "I was the millionth customer at Food City so they made me Queen." - Jeannie When Jeannie becomes the 1,000,000th customer at the local supermarket, she wins several prizes including the right to become queen of the Cocoa Beach rodeo. Now Tony must enter the rodeo to keep an amorous cowboy from winning and staking his claim on Jeannie. Director: Claudio Guzman, Writer: James S. Henerson Guest starring: Mark Miller, John Myhers, Richard Erdman The ending of Tony leaving to go out to dinner was taken from the season 3 episode "Tony's Wife" because Larry Hagman was too ill to film the original ending intended for the episode. 16.  Invisible House For Sale February 3, 1969 "Every time something strange happens, Major Nelson is involved!" - Dr. Alfred Bellows Feeling Tony would have more time for her if he had a smaller place to look after, Jeannie puts his house up for sale.

Director: Hal Cooper, Writer: James S. Henerson Guest starring: Harold Gould, Ed Peck, Joan Tompkins There's clearly a nearly treeless park area across the street from Maj. Nelson's house, but when the house is invisible, the opposite side of the street is covered with large trees. At the beginning of the episode when Tony is attempting to cut the tree branch, but it falls right before he is able to cut it, the string that was holding the branch is visible. 17.  Jeannie, the Governor's Wife February 10, 1969 "How long have you been seeing naked women?" - Dr. Alfred Bellows With Roger as the campaign manager, Jeannie tries to convince Tony to run for governor thinking this will finally convince him to marry her.

While in Hollywood Jeannie is spotted by Gary Owens and George Schlatter of Laugh-In. Seeing her trick of appearing inside a mirror, they want her on the show. When Roger finds out he volunteers to be Jeannie's manager. Director: Claudio Guzman, Writer: James S. Henerson Guest starring: Judy Carne, Arte Johnson, Gary Owens, George Schlatter, Sid Melton, Susan Howard, Emmaline Henry George Schlatter and Ed Friendly, producers of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1967), envisioned a night of cross-promotion by having several Laugh-In regulars appear on I Dream of Jeannie, followed by Barbara Eden appearing in character as Jeannie on Laugh-In that same night. To cap it all, the plan was for Eden to finally show her bellybutton on television in the latter program. However, network censor Hermino Traviesas objected to this. The working title for this story (production #4229) was 'Sock It to Me, Jeannie', but the network found it too suggestive. Larry Hagman (Major Anthony Nelson) and Susan Howard (Salesgirl) would both later star in Dallas (1978). They played J.R. Ewing and Donna Culver Krebbs. On season two's "One of Our Bottles is Missing", Mrs. Bellows has a copy of Jeannie's bottle made for herself, but in the Hollywood hotel room, Dr. Bellows sees Jeannie's bottle and asks Tony what it is. Jeannie and Tony get their photo in the newspaper yet later in the series it is revealed that Jeannie cannot be photographed. When Tony is in the store trying on a sport coat, his necktie shifts and you can see he is missing the second button on his shirt. 20.  The Case of the Porcelain Puppy March 3, 1969 "She told him to drop it." - Major Roger Healey "Not the dog, the pretence! " - Amanda Bellows Jeannie finds a new spell in a genie magazine that turns ordinary objects into porcelain. When Dr. Bellows and his wife see the results they think Tony is a real artist.

Six months later, Sargent would star as the second Darrin Stephens on Bewitched (1964). Guest star Ann Morgan Guilbert is beloved by television audiences as the neighbor Millie Helper on the classic The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961) and as feisty Grandma Yetta on The Nanny (1993). 22.  Nobody Loves a Fat Astronaut March 17, 1969 "Sister you kissed my Master and made him think it was me!" - Jeannie Jeannie's interfering sister tries to split up Jeannie and Tony by first convincing Dr. Bellows Tony is mentally unfit to go into orbit, and then by changing his weight. Director: Claudio Guzman, Writer: Sidney Sheldon Guest Starring: Vinton Hayworth In "Nobody Loves a Fat Astronaut", Barbara Eden debuted the new U.S. Air Force WAF (Women in the Air Force) uniform and accessory beret designed by Harry Gilbert of the M.

When Tony get sick on this way to the Moon Jeannie tries to blink him back to earth so she can take of him but accidentally blinks down Commander Wingate (played by Richard Mulligan) from their capsule orbiting the moon instead of Tony. She tries again and gets Tony this time but Roger is left to orbit the moon alone until Jeannie comes to his aid, though she proves to be more of a hindrance than a help. Back on earth Tony has his hands full pacifying Wingate and keeping Mrs. Bellows from trying to convince her husband that the astronaut is not in space. Director: Claudio Guzman, Writer: Sidney Sheldon Guest starring: Richard Mulligan, Emmaline Henry, Vinton Hayworth In real life Tony Nelson would be the most accomplished astronaut in NASA history. Major Nelson goes into space in a Mercury capsule, a Gemini capsule, an Apollo capsule and in the TV movie follow up in the space shuttle. No real astronaut has ever flown on all four spacecraft. 24.  Jeannie-Go-Round April 7, 1969 "I'm not deserting you, I'm leaving!" - Major Roger Healey Locking Jeannie in her bottle, her wicked lookalike sister Jeannie II trails Tony to the Cocoa Beach Cabana. In her efforts to win Tony's affections, Jeannie II also replaces the nightclub's regular singer and renders a seductive ballad ("Electric Days, Electric Nights"). From this point forward everything goes wrong, with Tony being publicly embarrassed and Dr. Bellows virtually being hand-delivered enough evidence to wash Tony out of the space program! Director: Claudio Guzman, Writer: James S. Henerson Guest starring: Emmaline Henry, Dave Barry, Lainie Nelson, Karen Carlson Mrs. Bellows asks Major Nelson if he found out where he could get her one of these exquisite bottles (Jeannie's Bottle). He tells her "No. It's a one of a kind." This is a writing error.

Director: Leo Garen, Writer: Sidney Sheldon Guest starring: Ron Masak, Richard Schaal, Sheldon Collins, Ed Prentiss The scenes at the park were shot on the Columbia Ranch facility, now the Warner Ranch, Burbank California. The fountain around which much of the action takes place, is the same fountain seen during the opening credits of Friends (1994). Jeannie (and then later Tony too) repeatedly says that the design for AGNES won't work because "the connective over extends into the jibran." This actually doesn't make any sense. Jibran is a boy's name in Arabic, meaning "reward." The toy-size space vehicle that's Jeanie creates (but in a much smaller scale) from a project sketch is called AGNES, which stands for Anti-Gravity Nuclear Earth Station. This episode's one shot (and unnamed) general is played by Ed Prentiss. 26.  Blackmail Order Bride May 12, 1969 "I'm here to inspect your pipes." - Charlie Farnum "Oh, there is nothing wrong with my pipes." - Jeannie Reporter Charlie Farnum tries to get a hot scoop on the life of Major Tony Nelson.

Director: Claudio Guzman, Writer: James S. Henerson Guest starring: George Furth, Barbara Bostock, Damian London, Teddy Quinn At the beginning when Mr. Farnum hides the recorder on the lower shelf, the bust is on the left side of the brown books.
