Tales from the Darkside: Djinn, No Chaser (1985)
Season 1, Episode 10
3/10
Odd and strange episode where does it go? Most memorable for Kareem's cameo.

This has to be one of the more dull and bad episodes of the "TFTD" series. Titled "Djinn No Chaser" the plot involves a couple who ran across a lamp with a genie on a sidewalk, and once they take it home silly and odd stuff starts to happen. Most of the episode it just talks to them mostly tormenting them and driving them crazy and over time their apartment turns into a slum. What was it trying to prove? It ends as we find the genie leaving the lamp and it's a tall man(cameo by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar the L.A. Lakers basketball legend). Overall bad episode mostly memorable for the Jabbar cameo that's about it. The only thing I can think of is were they trying to show that couples living in slum apartments was a showcase of the recession of the mid 80's?
