* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Due to legal issues, the series was never released on DVD. Some episodes are available online, but with the wrong episode names. There were also plans to reuse the Jeannie character in other Creator/HannaBarbera productions that had to be shelved (she and Babu were to be teammates for the Scooby Doobies on ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics''; Babu was the only one retained for it).

This even applied to ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'' decades later; since Sony owns the show now, the writers had to replace Babu with WesternAnimation/{{Shazzan}} instead.

** One could compare Babu for his having faulty powers and some cowardice which while true of other HB characters no one really fills a role to their show like Babu does to his.

* FollowTheLeader: This show was a mixture of formulas. While it designs itself more akin to the YouMeddlingKids shows like ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', the plots mostly stray to the side of the likes of ''WesternAnimation/ThePebblesAndBammBammShow'' sitcom style.

Hey Its That Guy cut by TRS decision. Ditto for Hey Its That Voice.


* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Creator/JulieMcWhirter began her voice acting career as Jeannie.
** Joe Besser (one of the later [[Film/TheThreeStooges Three Stooges]]) played Babu.
** And Corey was an early role for Creator/MarkHamill, four years before [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]] and 20 years before he first played SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker. Luke could do Jeannie-like things, eventually, and though Hamill never voiced this scenario, the comics and animated Jokers made deranged use of magical characters on many occasions.
