Annoying and Silly Episode
11 September 2023
The clerk George P. Hanley is a complete loser and is bullied in the office where he works by his co-worker Roger. On the birthday of the secretary and his romantic interest Ann, George is lured by the owner of a store that sells an old lamp to him. George gives up to deliver his gift to Ann and brings it home. Soon he finds that the lamp is magic and the genie grants one wish for him. George decides to think of three different scenarios with Ann, money and power until he comes up to a conclusion.

"I Dream of Genie" is an annoying and silly episode of "The Twilight Zone". George's dreams reflect his weak personality and are ridiculous. But maybe the conclusion is worst with his stupid choice. This episode is supposed to be funny, but it is indeed depressive and one of the worsts of the series. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "O Gênio da Lâmpada" ("The Genie of the Lamp")
