terrible... so disappointed.

Am I Missing Something?

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Of course this belongs to an era when producers took the silliest of ideas and treated them like the lost works of Shakespeare (a premise that could arguably be made for today's shows as well). But in fact this entry is not "typical" for the era, to the contrary, it set the bar and defined how this formula could be done (then) and would be done (now). First, if you want to have some fun, follow the IMDb link for Sidney Sheldon, the creator. His body of work is so prolific and contains so many well-know names, you will for a moment think you are in someone's Playlist of classic hits. This was a man who knew how to work a concept. Next, the casting. Larry Hagman became known as one of the most bankable TV stars of all time and -- get this -- here he was playing straight man to the real star, Barbara Eden. TV historians will tell you that Eden was considered too "old" for the part (indeed, too old to play a sexy temptress) and keep in mind that this was an era in Hollywood when, generally, actresses were considered over the hill at 35 (Look how old Anne Bancroft was in the Graduate -- not old at all, yet cast as the "mother" role). Eden got the part anyway and the rest is history. The chemistry between Hagman and Eden was so strong (not to mention the subliminal pitch to millions of male viewers that it was possible to control the fairer sex by, er, rubbing a lamp) that the series was not only a hit, but Eden (like Elizabeth Montgomery) became a TV icon, and would continue doing popular "movies of the week" for decades to come.

Major Anthony Nelson (Larry Hagman) is in for it when he opens up a bottle on a deserted island. Out pops the beautiful genie, Jeannie (Barbara Eden), and right after that all the trouble starts. Jeannie means well but most of the time her good intentions make hilarious trouble for her master. Doctor Alfred Bellows is determined to find out what is going on with Tony. One time he walked into Tony's house to find an elaphant in the bedroom! Tony always has to find a way to get out of the trouble, with his best friend Roger Heeley to help him. This comical and romantic show will keep you asking for more. Please watch it because I know that once you do you will be almost as hooked as I am!

I guess I'm just a "Bewitched" kinda guy. While I watched IDOJ (during it's original run-yikes!) I always felt she was a poor step-sister to Samatha and the gang. Jeanne was very child-like, throwing tantrums, getting jealous, and if not getting her way she would do some Jeanne maneuver to screw up the situation. While I liked Tony and his cool bachelor pad of season one, I never liked Major Bellows or the Admiral. The secondary characters were always the same, Bellows always thinks he has Tony caught in his trap, only to find in the end that his scheme didn't pan out.Of course, I can't dismiss the show totally. Jeanne's evil sister and the occasional appearance of the Blue Gin added much needed momentum to a show that relied heavily on mayhem and mischief from Jeanne. Larry Hagman, as Major Nelson, turned out to be a comedic genius during the show, who would have known? Once Jeanne and Tony married, the show went from a situation comedy to essentially a drama about married life. A true death knell for any show, think "Get Smart." On a parting thought, I will admit that Jeanne's bottle was way cool and I have a Jim Beam bottle on my coffee table as a reminder of the show, but alas, no circular couch inside.

Did you know that finally after all these years you can get your very own OFFICIAL I Dream of Jeannie Bottle! Yes, that's right, you can own an official bottle created by the official artist Mario A.C. Della Casa.

Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman, Bill Daily own Mario's bottle, and love them! Like many artisans before him, Della Casa found inspiration inside of a bottle, but in this case it was Barbara Eden's from I DREAM OF JEANNIE. Says Mario, "I was intrigued by Jeannie's sequestered life deep within her jewel-tone bottle filled with groovy furnishings, so I created one to satisfy my own fascination." He would learn that this obsession was not exclusively his own, as he was quickly called upon to commission others for friends. Then the floodgates opened: "It's impossible to count all the collectors and connoisseurs that needed to have one of my hand-painted bottles. It has taught me never to underestimate the power of a TV show that resonates in our collective hearts." In fact, so momentous was the demand for his original Jeannie Bottles, that Della Casa is the only artist ever to be awarded the license by Sony Entertainment to officially create them for the world!
