The Pushiest Characters EVER!!!

This show had the pushiest, most intrusive, and aggravating characters lol. On so many occasions Nelson is forced to participate despite clearly saying no to them over and over!

Dear God if I were Major Nelson I would have murdered:

*Dr. Bellows and his wife - Borderline harrassment lol!

*The General who had the hippie daughter who just walked on inside without knocking and made demand after demand. - Who the hell are you to tell me what to do in MY HOUSE!?

*The Hippie Daughter who invited her loser buddies over. - Seriously GTFO!

Poor Major Nelson haha.

If the Bellows were more sympathetic, viewers would have seen them as innocent victims of Jeannie's magic But they were so pushy, they got what they deserved.

That is why Jeannie was hooked up with an officer in the Air Force. Tony can not just take his uniform off at the end of the day and quit being an major(captain). He still has to keep up appearances, even in his off time.

there was something about his fiancé in the beginning of the series. could not really put my finger on it.

I actually liked mrs bellows. her behavior was probably because her husband was such a creepy peeper.

and although he was married in this show, I could tell when I was a child that hayden was gay.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

talk about jumping to conclusions! I meant nothing malicious with my previous statement. all I said was that I could tell the actor's bread was buttered on the other side. there is nothing wrong with being abe to tell when someone is gay. its wrong to speak on it to the person him/herself.

my all time favorite character is Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries from Are You Being Served? Played by John Inman. the character was always 'questionable' but the actor was always a gay icon in America.

I think it is better to be able to tell and keep quiet about it rather than it become a lifetime movie. the last thing anybody needs is a heterosexual to fall in love with someone who happens to be homosexual. that is devastating on both sides.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

I liked Dr. Bellows, Amanda Bellows, and the two Generals. It's true they pushy, but I still liked them and found them to be funny and interesting.
