I Dream of Jeannie: Permanent House Guest (1966) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Jeannie is frustrated because Tony never asks her anything except to serve him meals and small stuff like that. She tells him to think of something big, and an elephant appears. Dr. Bellows drops by at that moment, and sees it. He rushes to tell Gen. Peterson, and they both go over to Tony's but by the time they arrive Jeannie has already made the elephant disappear, making Dr. Bellows look crazy. Dr. Bellows decides to move in with Tony in order to prove that there is something wrong with him. Tony asks Roger to keep Jeannie while Dr. Bellows is at Tony's house. Roger agrees but Tony apparently decides to do that on the following day only and during that night Jeannie makes all kinds of noises, frightening Dr. Bellows, who decides to leave the house. Roger comes to fetch Jeannie the next day, but Tony tells him that it will no longer be necessary. Roger is sad because he has made a list of wishes for Jeannie: a cottage on the mountains, a house maid, etc. Tony decides to grant him one wish and a robust woman appears; she starts explaining her terms of work to Roger: she won't work weekends, will cook only one meal a day, very simple food, and if he is not happy he can eat at a restaurant.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
