You Wish

Single mother Gillian Apple unfurls a purple rug that has caught her eye and lets loose a Genie who has been rolled up for 2000 years as punishment for an unspeakable Genie offense -- falling in love with his mistress, er, female master. The outrageous, incorrigible Genie tries to convince her that he desperately needs the acceptance of a new master in order to remain free, while she is reluctant to let magic into her children's already disrupted lives and therefore stubbornly resists his attempts to trick her into wishing.

When Gillian accidentally wishes there were more than one of her to better manage her busy home and work schedule, Genie obliges by cloning her as the careful, spontaneous ""Fun Gillian"". The two Gillians then compete to see who rules the roost. Meanwhile, Genie moves into Mickey's dollhouse when Gillian banishes him from the kitchen.

Jerry Van Dyke joins the cast as Genie's 50,000-year-old grandfather, who must be decommissioned because his magical powers have waned. Genie's caustic mother Estelle also pays a visit, and complains that her son's master is a non-wisher -- but then Gillian finally makes a wish that may forever affect an ancient tradition as well as Grampa Max when she learns that he is to be sent on the ""Big Ride"" into eternity.

In this episode, Jillian gets the abiltity to mind read. From there, Jillian finds a pack of cigarettes in Mickey's purse. However, Mickey claims they are a friends.

Genie meddles in Gillian's love life—or lack thereof, rather—by conjuring up amorous suitor Don Juan himself. When she gets wise to her escort's identity, she makes Genie sweat. Meanwhile, Mickey enters a talent contest at school doing a magic act that involves her temporarily invisible little brother.

In this episode, Genie turns mickey into a witch. The cableman is a werewolf.
