This one's on the tip of my brain! Were the genies Australian and the other characters not so Australian?
That was Genie from Down Under, and it was a father and son on a homestead with a British girl. Sorry I can't be any help with the original question though.
The anime I'm talking about was from the 60's or early 70's, but the dub was fairly recent (1990, or so)... I'm now remembering an bulldog character that always tormented two of the main characters (the father genie and Joey)... Any help?

Yes, that's the one! Thanks!! :)
I remember watching this on YTV back in the 90's... it had two genies (father and daughter), one (the clumsy father) could be summoned by sneezing, and the other (the mischievous daughter) by yawning. They would grant wishes to a boy named Joey, but almost all of them quickly turn into disasters. There was also this weird, cartoonish old man with an umbrella who would appear during scene changes... Anybody know which series this was???
