DVD Review: WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars

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!!!

DVD Review: Good fun for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars

This show was one of my favorites when I was a kid. And I find that I still enjoy it today. This show is half farce, half slapstick. And can appeal to all ages.
The actors are good at dragging ever last laugh out of any stunt in the show. Barbara Eden is perfect as Jeannie. She manages to be both innocent and sexy at the same time. Which adds a lot to the humor of the show.
And the rest of the cast are also very funny, each in their own way. Add it all up and the complete package is a laugh a minute.
The show doesn`t really hit its stride until most of the way through the 1st season. The 2nd season is better. But the 1st season is still very much worth watching.
You will like it, your kids will like it, and your wife might even like it after she gets over how much you enjoy watching Barbara Eden bounce around in a harem outfit.

DVD Review: The First Season...in horrible color!
Summary: 3 Stars

The 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 Stars

I 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.

Description of I Dream of Jeannie: The Complete First Season

Follows the antics of an astronaut after he unknowingly releases a genie from a bottle who then insists on serving him.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 14-MAR-2006
Media Type: DVD
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
