- Just Our Luck is an American sitcom that aired on ABC for 13 episodes from September 20 to December 27, 1983. Created by brothers Lawrence and Charles Gordon, it was considered a modernized version of the 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie and starred Richard Gilliland as a mild-mannered TV weatherman for KPOX-TV, and T. K. Carter as a hip, fun-loving 3,000-year-old genie who is freed by Gilliland after being imprisoned in his bottle for nearly two centuries. The series was produced by Lorimar Productions, and initially promoted by ABC as one of its new ambitious comedies along with Webster. Just Our Luck was created to compete against The A-Team on NBC but earned low ratings for much of its run. It was poorly received by critics, however, and was the subject of controversy when the NAACP charged the show with promoting negative stereotypes of African-Americans. The NAACP originally campaigned to have the show removed but later settled for a degree of creative control in the show's development. This included changes to Carter's dialogue, the hiring of black staff writers and the addition of Leonard Simon to the cast. The show was cancelled after three months. (en)
- Un tocco di genio (Just Our Luck) è una serie televisiva statunitense in 13 episodi trasmessi per la prima volta nel corso di una sola stagione nel 1983. È una sitcom a sfondo fantastico incentrata sulle vicende di un mite meteorologo televisivo, Keith Burrows, che libera per un caso il bizzarro genio di colore Shabu, amante del divertimento che è stato imprigionato nella sua bottiglia per quasi due secoli. La serie fu male accolta dalla critica e fu oggetto di controversie quando la NAACP la accusò di promuovere gli stereotipi negativi degli afro-americani, con tematiche quali il rapporto servo-padrone tra i due protagonisti. La NAACP originariamente avviò una campagna per la rimozione della serie dal palinsesto della ABC, ma in seguito si stabilì un certo grado di controllo creativo nello sviluppo. Ciò comportò alcune modifiche alla sceneggiatura, l'assunzione di sceneggiatori neri e l'aggiunta di al cast. Lo spettacolo fu annullato dopo tre mesi dalla prima televisiva. (it)
