Kojak (Telly Savalas) is determined to beat Harris to the punch and haul in the fugitive himself. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When Tony (Larry Hagman) complains that his Sunday newspaper hasn't been delivered, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) helpfully creates a replacement--which turns out to be tomorrow's paper. Upon discovering this, Roger hopes to utilize the foreknowledge gleaned from the paper to strike it rich at the local racetrack...little realizing that the paper's lead story is "Astronaut Breaks Leg in Accident". Though this episode is a remake of a similar installment on I Dream of Jeannie's rival series Bewitched, the basic plotline can be traced even further back to the 1944 fantasy film It Happened Tomorrow. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
