John ...mainly for Barbara Eden. She was, and always will be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Ever since I was a kid and first saw her as Jeannie, I was hooked. The show was corny but funny and I still watch it to this day. But there isn't one actress in Hollywood today that could compare to her beauty. Even today, she's gorgeous.

robertm_herts I am writing this in 2015 after re-watching the entire collection for the second time. I was first introduced to this show by my mom who watched it in her younger years. When she visited me, we spent about a week watching all the episodes. When I was younger, this was screened during the day on Channel 4 (in England). Then I 'acquired' the collection in 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed the show. But why? Not only was NASA every child's dream, but the comedy is wonderful. This show would have never worked without Larry Hagman in such a perfect role as the excellent comic timed, forever-nervous and jumpy Capt (later Maj) Anthony Nelson. This is attributed to Jeannie the genie who tries to assist Nelson in a a good way, but always ends up being for the worse. Bill Dailey as Maj Healey is a perfect friend who gets looped into everything. All the strange and weird events are witnesses by Col Bellows (the CMO and psychiatrist) whose goal is to 'understand Maj Nelson'. Great show, and very hilarious and above all, timeless. Thanks to mom for introducing me to this.

Dalbert Pringle TV's I Dream Of Jeannie was pretty much just a simple-minded one-note joke that got real stale, real fast.With the Jeannie character being just a glorified boy-toy Barbie Doll, I guess that she was created to somehow fulfill the wish of everyman's secret sexual fantasy.I found this show to be shallow, petty, painfully predictable and completely unfunny. Its desperate attempts to generate some much-needed laughs were so downright stupid that it was literally brain-dead.I thought that astronaut, Tony Nelson, was a total square who used Jeannie like a doormat. If only Jeannie would've finally wised-up and realized that she had been rescued from her bottle by the biggest bore in the entire world, bar none.The rapport that took place between Jeannie and Tony was as trite and contrived as you could possibly imagine. I totally hated the annoying way that Jeannie and Tony volleyed their ridiculous fits of jealousy back and forth between each other.All-in-all, this mid-1960s Sit-Com was dumb to the 10th power.

warren_trekkie Ironically due to the nature of the censorship on television rulings Barbara Eden was unable to display her belly button at the time, so accordingly her costume was suitably adjusted. The later made for television movie where she wore a white costume, (and still looked great)... was the first time Genie was allowed to show off her belly button, my how television has changed. It is hard to believe that Hagman would go on to play the Texas badman in "Dallas", Yet Barbara Eden was unheard of again in New Zealand until "Harper Valley PTA" I still get goosebumps when I hear that music. Even today the influence of the programme can be seen in the likes of "Charmed", and even in the 3d cartoon series "Bratz" my niece was watching the other day, it really was a magic show.
