I clearly remember watching it.

We had a huge argument about it at my house. One of my children wanted to watch it and, of course, my wife backed the child against me. She knew that I didn't want my children watching nigger shit movies. I won. They did not watch that shit.

My theory is they secretly ran a test pilot in select zip codes to gauge interest; and it never materialized because it surveyed as a flop, and they never even told sinbad they used his likeness in the commercial in a movie they were considering hiring him for.

So they shelved it, which called for black guy that was popular with kids; but they finally found shaquille oneil but now called it kazaam.

Anyone who saw the shazaam pilot (originally circa 1992), immediately groaned and said "this movie again???" When kazaam came out (again).

My memory of it is this: my friend bursts into the room laughing. He tells me "the stupidest movie is coming out. Its sinbad and he plays a genie. It looks so stupid." He mimicked him crossing his arms and nodding his head, to grant wishes (like old TV show 'I dream of genie'), and embellished his catchphase "shazAAM!" I laughed and said, "that sounds awful."

I can tell you what room I was in and even the direction my body was facing as he told me about it.

If there was no sinbad as a genie movie called shazaam ever made then there was something causing kids to make believe there was, me included.

I cant speak to the stories of people who remember watching it except to say their stories dont seem to match. (Unlike the brown cournicopia, which everyone agrees is on the right side of the logo, the people who have watched shazaam don't actually corroborate the plot, which is peculiar.) If there is such a phenomenon that exists, at least in the case of sinbad, it must have an ability to change memories. Hence why I am more comfortable beleiving there was a real commercial, then beleiving we've been brain wiped on only the story.
