Jeannie was a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in association with Screen Gems from September 8, 1973 to August 30, 1975 on CBS. It is loosely based upon the 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. The animated series features the eponymous genie character with master Corey Anders , a high school student, and his best friend Henry Glopp . Many of Corey and Henry's misadventures often involved run-ins with their rival, S. Melvin Farthinghill , a snooty rich kid whom Henry often addressed as "Smellvin" or "Smelly." S. Melvin was often a competitor with... Corey when it came to girls, undermining his efforts at every turn. Comedian and former Three Stooges star Joe Besser voiced Babu, a cowardly, bumbling, immature genie-in-training under Jeannie's charge. His typical magic words are "Yapple Dapple!" which usually gets everyone around him into a pickle, even himself. Babu normally annoyed almost everyone he met because he gets so nervous, he could never control his powers.
