Waking up and just deciding to necro bump a bunch of threads from 2021 huh Well it could be worse....it could have also been a post about how Jeannie would fare against 2016 Alexa Bliss, or how would Jeannie use her powers to embarrass Jim Ross. As for the 21st century comment...I do love the classics and I love Jeannie, but let's not kid ourselves. There's been a lot of good shows after the '60s, and even in the 21st century. Different style, yes, less taboos, yes, but I've found some that are good for what they are.

Waking up and just deciding to necro bump a bunch of threads from 2021 huh I'm for it, personally. Sometimes I like seeing what I had to say three years ago. Maybe my opinion's changed, maybe it's still the same. *shrug*

I'd make Nelson a Private so you could get a younger actor.

Role reversal buddy comedy.
John Cena as Jeannie - a wise-cracking genie that makes obscure wrestling references ("that wish doesn't work for me brother") and uses the "U Can't C Me" hand gesture to grant them.
Captain Nelson can be Selma Hayek.

I'd make Nelson a Private so you could get a younger actor. Unless it was a period piece remake set at the same time as the original show (though with looser restrictions than what was back then, more then contemporary topics could be brought up), Nelson's career would probably have to be different anyway. Back then the military and the space program were more interconnected than how NASA is now as far as I'm aware, so an air force Captain/Major (depending on the season) having a mission that leads to him finding Jeannie wouldn't necessarily work as well if it was a space flight test of some sort.
