LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Barbara Eden, who faithfully did what her master asked of her in "I Dream of Jeannie," will get to give orders when she makes her first sitcom appearance in 20-plus years.

Eden will guest star in an episode of The WB's "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" scheduled for Friday, Jan. 11. She plays Sabrina's (Melissa Joan Hart) Great Aunt Irma, the eldest -- and meanest -- of Sabrina's aunts who wreaks havoc in the Other Realm.

When Irma learns that Sabrina's boyfriend Harvey (Nate Richert) knows of Sabrina's powers, she decides to test him to make sure he won't reveal Sabrina to the world.

Pop group Hanson will also appear in the episode and play a song from the band's forthcoming CD. Isaac Hanson plays the ex-boyfriend of Roxie (Soleil Moon Frye), surprising her with an impromptu song with his brothers at a soup kitchen where Roxie does volunteer work.

Eden played LeeAnn De La Vega on "Dallas" in 1990-91 and has made numerous TV movies over the years, but her last sitcom role was in the TV version of "Harper Valley P.T.A" in 1981-82.

Sounds interesting! (although I don't really like "Sabrina, the teenage witch....no offense to anyone who does).
