* Shel Silverstein's poem "Jimmy Jet" entails a boy watching TV and becoming a TV set.

* One episode of ''[[The X-Files]]'' features a genie. Mulder asks her how she got involved in all this, and she explains that her third wish was "great power and long life". She's more snarky than outright malicious because she knows it's her own fault she got stuck as a genie.
* One hour long episode of ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' has a nebbish man hypothesize over what he would get if he wanted money, fame, or power, being careful since his genie says that he only gets [[Our Genies Are Different|one wish]]. Realizing he would be a catastrophic failure with any of these wishes, he eventually decides that he would rather be a genie himself: he doesn't like his old life, and he enjoys being nice to people. {{spoiler|He also gets to wear some sweet Middle Eastern clothes, speak in a cool authoritarian voice, and hang out with his dog. Since it's his wish, he decides he wants to be an old-school genie.}}
