By its third season, the daffy 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie just got sillier--which is not necessarily a bad thing. Given that the show's premise involves a half-naked woman subservient to an astronaut, we're clearly watching a rampant male fantasy to begin with; it's the goofiness (ably executed by the stars) that gives the show charm instead of smarm. So bring on the evil twin sister, Jeannie 2; the Hawaiian royalty; guest appearances by Don Rickles, Paul Lynde, and Milton Berle; an epic (for a sitcom) four-episode story about Jeannie being trapped in a safe that's about to be sent to the moon; the groovy rock band (in an episode featuring record producer Phil Spector, later to become a gun-toting recluse, as himself)...it's all turned into a delirious soup of 1960s farce by Barbara Eden (who perfected the combination of sexy/ditzy long before Jenna Elfman or Jessica Simpson), Larry Hagman (one of the nicest guys on TV until he became ubervillian JR Ewing on Dallas), Bill Daily (among the greatest second bananas of all time), Hayden Rorke (the perpetually stymied Dr. Bellows), and Emmaline Henry (Mrs. Bellows, a hip and sexy older woman in the decade that launched the idolization of youth). I Dream of Jeannie scrupulously avoided political or social relevance--when Mrs. Bellows thinks that Jeannie is a young woman enslaved by Major Nelson and tries to rescue her, this troubling idea is played for laughs--but that puts the show in an engaging bubble of entertainment, as out-of-synch with its own era as much as with ours. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews

Whacky, funny show.
You probably already know this show and its premise. The third season is a turning point. To a large degree, Jeannie sheds her harem costume for normal clothes (BTW, this season was filmed in color, as was the second. But the coloring here seems to be very brilliant--it really stands out and grabs your attention.) My goodness, that woman is pleasing to the eye! Nevertheless, the fact that Jeannie is clad in regular clothes allows for a whole new type of episode. The change is greater than when Roger found out that Tony has a genie. No longer is she stuck at home, periodically popping in at NASA, but she is out-and-about, meeting and interacting with people and being a major figure in most of the sketches.

Jeannie's evil sister is introduced this season and that opens up a whole new range of problems. Also, in this season, the show seems to have 'arrived,' as it landed a number of guest appearances from well-known celebrities, including Milton Burle, Bob Denver, and the pop duo Boyce and Hart.

If you liked this show when you were growing up, you'll love it again. However, please do not try to find any hidden meaning to life's problems in this show. It was designed to be silly and whacky! IT'S A FANTASY!! Please keep that in mind when you watch OR REVIEW this show!

IDOJ Season 3 is finally here!!!
UPDATE:

Sony should recall this set because there are a few major problems with the set. First of all I thought that I had a bad set and was going to return it.. but then I saw from other reviews that other people was having trouble as well. The episode "Bootsie Nightengale" is very jittery and jumpy throughout the last 15-20 minutes of the show.


I didn't know what to think was the problem, and thought it was possibly my dvd player going bad or faulty discs and I reset the dics over and it happened again on the same spot. I was just going to return it when I looked this up online and seen that this is one of the problems with the set.

There is also a mistake on the cover art also because it sais that episode #13 "My Son The Jeannie" is on disc 3 but if you play disc 3 it is no where to be found because it is on disc 2 instead. How did Sony pull a mistake like that??


This set is still worth buying if you are a true Jeannie fan but fer shame on Sony for releasing a set with so many mistakes! On the other hand all of the other episodes on this set have very good picture quality and are overall great episodes to watch and enjoy.


I just wished the guys at Sony would have put the same thought and effort in to this set as they did "I Dream Of Jeannie" Season one and two box sets.

Still a charmer
Over forty years later this show is still a charmer! Growing up I mostly watched Bewitched because my parents found it more "family-oriented". Though Jeannie is a clean cut show, I think they were still jittery about the idea of a blonde running around in a skimpy harem costume and living with an astronaut she wasn't married to. But now that I'm all grown up, I find I Dream of Jeannie a little more fun than Bewitched. Jeannie, Maj Nelson, Maj. Healy and poor Dr. Bellows get mixed up in these wacky little capers and manage to untangle themselves out of it later on. All the actors are comic naturals. The show is not afraid to bring in the hip and swinging scene with beautiful girls. I'm sure this was the best way for young models of the day to get introduced onscreen. I Dream of Jeannie is light and optimistic: you have a playful genie and adventurous astronauts. With Bewitched, there are traditions, spells, protocol, moral and family obligations. Both shows have their charming merits, but I Dream of Jeannie is full of fun.
