DVD Reviews of I Dream of Jeannie: The Complete First SeasonDVD Review: The First Season...in horrible color! Summary: 3 StarsThe first season of I Dream of Jeannie was probably either the worst or second worst. The big trouble with this season is that Roger didn't know about Jeannie until halfway through the season. Without Roger, the episodes are serious and not that humorous.
The color version is god-awful! Some episodes are watchable, while others are simply awful. The flesh tones are exagerated. Look at the horrible color of Major Nelson's house. It also reveals oddities not shown in black and white. Check out the view from Major Nelson's balcony. It's so...FAKE! Obviously a painting in color, but not so in black and white.
Call me picky, but is anyone irked that there is some extra text in the opening theme title card. It says 2000 CPT Holdings. My advice is to get the Black and White version.
DVD Review: classic Summary: 5 StarsI grew up watching these shows. Own every season and now my children watch them too. Good classic tv without all the sex and violence. Perfect.
DVD Review: Excellent buy! Summary: 5 StarsIf you were a big of the "I Dream of Jeannie" show then you will love this dvd set. This set is from the first season and it's loaded with funny episodes. I must admit that I was a little worried that the colorized version wouldn't be that great but I was pleasantly surprised. The colors were perfect. If you didn't know that the original was in black and white, you would think it was actually done in color. This dvd set is great fun for the whole family which is so rare these days. I highly recommend it.

DVD Review: Great DVD! Summary: 5 StarsI just love this beautiful series from the 60`s.
Many years since I first had the pleasure to laugh through these episodes.
Now on dvd I can see them as many times I want.
My son and daughter (10 and 6) also love the humor in this golden beauty.
Larry Hagman and Barbra Eden is just fantastic among the others which made this
series so popular.
LOVE IT
Description of I Dream of Jeannie: The Complete First SeasonStudio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/14/2006 Run time: 780 minutes 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
