The Concept was a) Jeannie in a locked Safe with explosives to blow safe if wrong Safe Combination used, b) Rescue Safe from Space Mission, c) rescue safe from crusher, d) Open safe before another becomes her Master.
There is no logic and reasoning in any of the episodes. By episode four, the match is still lit which is a miracle in itself. But, an air tight safe would have left a dead genie. Nobody was concerned that an industrial crusher would set off the bomb keeping Anthony from putting in any combination in a "Trial & Error" situation. If the bomb did not detonate, the crusher would make an opening for Jeannie to escape.
Five Drill holes into the safe were not big enough for the already tiny Jeannie to escape, but a fist size one was not big enough, either.
The director, producer, writers et al were hardly NASA Rocket scientists. When they made the safe into an Ice Cream Push cart in White, Oil Base Paint, then safe was pristine again at Tony's house only showed they were over their heads.
From the moment the safe was closed, there is question why Jeannie could not escape. Jeannie has her magic to keep a wooden match lit for days, but she cannot whip up a drill to make a hole in the safe, nor slip thru the cracks as the Carbon-Dioxide would have killed her in the first day. Holes made in the safe, but she does not escape.
In all, CBS of 1968 held American Viewers in contempt. The Production Company was one thing, but a network realizing the incompetency is another.
This was four episodes giving rise to the reason why CBS had only one eye as an Icon for Decades.
