Jeannie (Barbara Eden) is even more fetching in color in the second season of one of TV's most charming and endearing fantasies. Jeannie's navel is still not ready for prime time, and her live-in relationship with astronaut Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), the man who freed her from that bottle, is still strictly platonic. But, like any wife, she is upset when Tony forgets their one-year anniversary in the season opener. And when Tony unwittingly frees the Blue Djinn, who originally imprisoned Jeannie, it looks like he won't survive year two. Naturally, being stuck in a bottle for 2,000 years, the vivacious and playful Jeannie is more innocent and naive than her bewitching counterpart, Samantha Stevens. Her well-intentioned magic complicates Tony's life in such episodes as "My Master, the Rich Tycoon," "My Master, the Rainmaker" and "My Master, the Spy." She transforms Tony into an operatic virtuoso in "My Master, the Great Caruso," landing him in a talent show, and leading to perhaps the most versatile lip-syncing scene since the Stooges sang the sextet from Lucia in Micro-Phonies. Jeannie blinks Tony back into the Old West in "Fastest Gun in the East," on Captain Kidd's ship in "My Master, the Pirate," and back to Napoleon's court in "My Master, Napoleon's Buddy." No wonder that in "There Goes the Best Genie I Ever Had," he considers taking advantage of Hajii Day and sending her back.

Not that there aren't advantages to having a genie around the house. In one episode, she anticipates TiVo by freezing the action on a televised football game while she and Tony go out. In "The Greatest Invention in the World," she fulfills Tony's best friend Roger's (Bill Daily) childhood wish to be the funniest man in the world by turning him into the one and only Groucho Marx. And when Tony is put in charge of providing entertainment for General Peterson's anniversary party, Jeannie summons "The Greatest Entertainer in the World," Sammy Davis Jr. (at his konk-ch-konk best). The season's most captivating story arc begins in the two-parter "The Girl Who Never Had a Birthday," as Tony and Roger resolve to determine Jeannie's birthday (the date is finally revealed in "Caruso"). Through it all, poor base psychiatrist Dr. Bellows (Hayden Rorke) is constantly confounded, Mrs. Kravitz-style, by the unexplained supernatural behavior to which he is witness. I Dream of Jeannie is far from PC, but in the realm of TV's guilty pleasures, it is master of its domain. --Donald Liebenson

The Shows Are Cut!
I'm not sure about every episode, but there are cuts in the second season.

"My Master The Rainmaker" - What happened to the footage of all the rain in Alabama after Jeannie blinked and turned it into a lake?

There are also some cuts in "The Mod Party" - the ones I noticed were after Dr. Bellows drove Tony & Roger into the woods to go hunting. Several lines of dialogue were cut, as well as a few scenes where they were trying to set up the tent.

Jeannie is uncorked for a second season on DVD!
The 1966 season of I DREAM OF JEANNIE features some of the best storylines, building on the relationship of Major Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman) and his faithful Jeannie (Barbara Eden). Barbara Eden's performance as Jeannie is a little more comical in the second year, whilst adding a lot of underlining pathos and heart to the character.

The supporting roles of Roger Healey (Bill Daily) and Doctor Bellows (Hayden Rorke) were also expanded, and we get to see more of Bellows' wife Amanda (Emmaline Henry).

This season was the first to be filmed in colour. You'll notice in the earlier episodes that Barbara Eden's makeup is very pronounced and dark (probably because the makeup artists were still applying Jeannie's makeup as originally designed for the grayscale tones of b&w). The addition of colour added a lot to the magic and scope of the show. Just like it's sister sitcom "Bewitched", the possibilities were endless, and the world of Jeannie is nicely-developed in this second year.
