DVD Description:
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

No subtitles
We all love IDOJ. Terrific TV show from the good old times. Fantastic clean humor that is a treat to watch.
Unfortunately I'm very disappointed at the absence of subtitles. None. Fans deserve more respect fron Sony Pictures. It should have at least English and Spanish subtitles.
Sony treated Bewitched much better. It has several languages and subtitles.
Moving bottle
I only watched it at a glance, but when tony first see's the bottle it moves a couple of times before he decides to pick it up. In the DVD he picks it up on the first move. Am I wrong? I will get my Black + White version soon.
When Jeanie rolls the bottle in to Tony's sack did anyone notice she never put the cork back on the bottle?? Because back at Tony's house during the series, there is a cork on it. Thanks.
I will buy the entire series when it comes out.
Worth the wait
I've been the biggest Jeannie fan since I was 3 years old. I've waited a long time to have the show on DVDs. Its such a pleasure to be able to choose any episode you want, and to see the picture so clearly. The pilot episode in color is a treat, but I prefer it in its original black and white. The colorized episodes LOOK colorized to me.
The three stars do a commentary during the pilot episode. Die hard fans won't learn anything new, most likely, but its fun to listen to the three of them goofing around. Its also a big treat to see the special interview with the three of them on the 4th disk.
The first season itself offers some of the best episodes of the whole series. I am so glad to finally be able to collect these.
I do think I will buy another copy of this season, but in Black and White. I'd like the option of either or.
Oh and just for fun, there's lots of little goofs and mistakes to be found in some of the episodes. Look for Jeannie's changing braid in the episode titled "Jeannie and the kidnapp caper". Its not obvious if you're not tuned into the details of the costumes, but just look. Throughout the episode, while in her same Jeannie costume, her hair changes between the first season looser style (under the pillbox hat), to the braid around the head (under the hat), as seen in later seasons. Sometimes it changes while she's still in the same room! Obviously somebody didn't pay enough attention to the continuity.
Bottom line, I think this was worth the wait.
Can't find the dvd you're looking for? Then try Google.
