Trivia
- The episode title is a play on words to the television series I Dream of Jeannie.
- Chris tells Paige that he is the future son of Piper and Leo, and that Phoebe knows it as well.
- This is Richard Montana's final episode.
- Richard's brother Steve previously appeared in two episodes where as his brother Benjamin previously only appeared in the episode Love's a Witch.
- Richard's current level of powers and his means of "materializing" bear a striking resemblance to Cole's power level and "bright shimmering" of the fifth season.
- Leo reads the inscription on the genie bottle, which is in Arabic, from left to right. But the Arabic language reads from right to left, unlike English.
- In the episode Be Careful What You Witch For the Genie stated that a Genie cannot grant a wish to kill someone, but Richard did so.
- Richard strips his powers in his final episode.
- Richard wished all of "the Charmed Ones" alive. Although Prue was a Charmed One at the time of her death, the Charmed Ones have been reconstituted after that to include Paige and create a new Power of Three, thus, Prue did not come to life when Richard fulfilled his wish.
