Andrew is a fan of Shimmer and Shine on Nick Jr. I’ve watched a few episodes with him and they are very cute. Well, the original genie, Barbara Eden will be guest starring in a new episode, “The Crystal Queen”. I remember watching I Dream of Genie on reruns as a kid. It will be cute to see her as Empress Caliana.

Legendary TV icon Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) revisits her genie roots and gets animated in a brand-new episode of Nickelodeon’s hit preschool series Shimmer and Shine. In “The Crystal Queen,” premiering Friday, Nov. 18, at 11 a.m. (ET/PT), Eden plays Empress Caliana, a quirky genie empress and mentor to Samira, the genie princess. When power-hungry sorceress Zeta traps Samira in a magical crystal cave, Shimmer, Shine and Leah team up with Empress Caliana to save the day.

Shimmer and Shine follows the adventures of twin genies-in-training, Shimmer and Shine, and features a social-emotional curriculum highlighting the importance of teamwork, resilience and overcoming obstacles. Shimmer and Shine currently ranks as the number-one preschool show in its timeslot across all TV.
