Oh, the innocent days when the sexiest thing on television was Barbara Eden's hidden navel! In the classic 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, an astronaut stranded on a desert island discovered a bottle containing a genie--a shapely blond genie in scarves and diaphanous pantaloons! He sets her free, but she follows him back to Cocoa Beach, Florida, where her efforts to serve him only cause mischief and threaten his career in the space program. I Dream of Jeannie depicted the male fantasy of a beautiful but subservient girl--but this subservient girl was all-powerful and oddly willful in her attempts to serve. It all worked because of the leads: Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman went on to lengthy careers (later starring in Harper Valley PTA and Dallas, respectively), but arguably never matched the chemistry they had as Jeannie and Captain (soon to be Major) Tony Nelson. Jeannie, though naive and eager to please, always had Eden's intelligence and steely resolve lurking under her bubbly blonde surface, while Hagman projected a genuine decency that somehow made the potentially salacious situation seem innocent. Still, the show would never have been more than a knockoff of the similar Bewitched (basically, the battle of the sexes with a magic twist) if Tony's secret hadn't been discovered midseason by his best friend, fellow astronaut Roger (the wonderful Bill Daily, later on The Bob Newhart Show). Unburdened by the need for decency, Roger could be the show's insatiable id, eager to use Jeannie for no end of self-serving purposes. Meanwhile, psychiatrist Dr. Bellows (Hayden Rorke) served as the show's perpetually flabbergasted superego, constantly demanding a rational explanation for all the madcap events around him. All at once the show's storylines--which had previously been dominated by Jeannie's desire for marriage--could wander in any daffy direction the writers chose. The result was deeply silly and utterly charming. I Dream of Jeannie's first season was shot in black and white, so The Complete First Season is available in its original form or colorized (which, though skin tones seem a little waxy, is relatively inoffensive). Also included is a short feature with enjoyable interviews with Eden, Hagman, and Daily, as well as the show's creator, Sidney Sheldon. --Bret Fetzer

 I Dream Of Jeannie March 9, 2010
M. Hammond (Coleman, FL)
I opened my collection of I Dream Of Jeannie DVD's that I bought and the bottoms of the discs were all blushed and clouded and unplayable even though there are brand new and I just opened them. I don't know what to do. I'm looking for recalls on the internet for the DVDs.
More info later if I have any luck.
I can't get the DVDs to play on ANYONE ELSES players either.
 The Best! February 21, 2010

I use to watch this show whenever it appeared on TV! I found this item on amazon and was so happy that I had to get it. Now, I'm glad I got it! Great show in good condition!
Fun, imaginative 60s sitcom. December 29, 2009
S. Spears (Florence, MA)
A young Astronaut, who is stranded on a remote island after a scrubbed mission, happens upon a fancy-looking bottle. He uncorks it, and a big trail of pink smoke flows out. A gorgeous female Genie, materializes from the smoke cloud. The Astronaut, Major Tony Nelson, allows the Genie to come back with him to his home in Coca Beach, FL. This sets the stage for the basic premise of this show, which revolves around the misadventures of Major Nelson, and how his life is turned upside-down by the Genie.
I Dream Of Jeannie premiered on TV, roughly a year after that other show about a magical female, called Bewitched. I thought that I Dream Of Jeannie, was more in tune with the changing social mores of the 60s. After all, Tony Nelson was a swinging bachelor, who had a hot-looking babe of a Genie, at his disposal. On the other hand, Bewitched was more like the staid sitcom Leave It To Beaver, except that the wife and mother in Bewitched had supernatural powers.
Larry Hagman as Major Tony Nelson, was a perfect straight-arrow foil for his co-star, Barbara Eden as Jeannie. They had a crackling on-screen chemistry between them. Bill Daly as Tony's colleague and friend, Captain Roger Healy, added a nice comic touch to the show. So did Hayden Rourke as Tony's superior, Dr. Bellows. Dr. Bellows was forever trying to get a handle on why such strange situations, always seemed to surround Major Nelson.
This was a good show in it's day. It was funny, a bit subversive (due to Tony's always getting the better of the authority figures that he had to report to), and imaginative. Any way you slice it, I Dream Of Jeannie is a fun, classic 60s sitcom.

Great product! Works just like new. Delivered wayyyy before scheduled delivery date. This was great because I was ready to laugh along with I Dream of Jeannie!!!! Great classic show! I might be old fashioned but I do wish it was in B&W and not color. I forgot to look at that when I purchased it. Never the less it is still enjoyable!!!
