TV will have made progress when its major black stars aren't required to be adorable kids, upstaged sidekicks or, as in this case, pseudo slaves who are prodded to do their Richard Pryor imitations. Only Keith can see Shabu, which provokes the usual sight gags with the typical scatter-brained neighbor, played by Richard Schaal. Shabu is used to traveling in faster company than Keith. In previous times, he's catered to Cleopatra, King Arthur and Napoleon. This could have been a funnier GANDHI!

When "Just Our Luck, "the so-so comedy that debuts tonight, is telling truths about the news-entertainment business intentionally or unintentionally it really gets rolling When it becomes a gimmicky sitcom about a white weatherman and his black genie, it rolls over. Maybe in another program Against NBC's "The A-Team." this remake of "I Dream of Jeannie" should join Barbara Eden in the Genie Hall of Fame in a fast twinkle of the nose. Keith Barrow (Richard Gilliand), who has few highs or lows as a TV weatherman at a San Diego station, has his humdrum existence shaken by a jive-talking genie named Shabu, played Downtown Alive!
