About Roger[]

Roger is Tony Nelson's best friend, a Major, and an astronaut at NASA. He is overly interested in women. When he met Jeannie and she disappeared from him, Roger became obsessed with finding her. After discovering Jeannie's true identity as a genie in the Season 1 episode titled "The Richest Astronaut in the Whole Wide World" (episode #17), Roger kinda "kidnaps" Jeannie and stole her from Tony to satisfy his own desires, as he starts to have unexplainable luck at the casino black jack and crap tables, winning a small fortune until he is suspected of cheating at the crap table when the two dice suddenly roll "13". As Roger acquiesces to Tony's urging, he hands Jeannie "back" to him!

This backfires when the luxury he gained from Jeannie leads to too much suspicion. Dr. Bellows to think the items were stolen. He is forced to return Jeannie to Tony, and she blinks away all his fortune as well as erasing the memory of Dr. Bellows and the police. Since then, Roger has been the only other character on the show to know about Jeannie's true identity and now completely respects that she is Tony's genie, although on some occasions, he still tries to get her to grant wishes for him.
