"Djjin Djinn, the Pied Piper" is the third appearance of Jeannie's uniform hating puppy, each one less interesting than the one before. Dr. Bellows remembers the troublesome pooch, and is immediately attacked upon arrival. Gen. Schaeffer's Great Dane Jupiter is his pride and joy, but the often invisible Djinn Djinn wreaks havoc with his training in the park. Both dogs eventually end up at the pound, where the exasperated attendant (Dick Wilson) has been torn to shreds by the magical mutt. Gen. Schaeffer makes a go of finding his beloved Jupiter, only to get run over by a stampede of canines. The repetitious one joke idea behind this pup made for a series of weak episodes, though Dick Wilson's presence is reassuring, having already dealt with a poodle that used to be Major Healey in the second season's "What's New, Poodle Dog?"

Where did that little beast go?
PizzaHips12 June 2022
Hands down this is the worst episode of the 139.
Not sure who was responsible for this but it was dreadful.
Why would there be a payphone in the middle of the park? In the grass??? Then you can tell that when Tony was ridiculously running with the dogs that a dummy, that was supposed to be Roger, was in the booth and knocked over. Was not even closely resembling a human. The phone booth falls over.... where are the lines that would have gone to it??? Major Nelson would never have been pulled like he was with those two dogs.
Then Jeannie is knocked out when General Schaefer opens the door?? The series looks like it is limping to the end. This was horrible.
