Which do you prefer? Pure escapism which involves a woman with a special ability who is hopelessly in love with her husband who wishes that their wife would not use her powers so much. Both ladies mean well, but both get themselves and their man in trouble by using their abilities.

I prefer Bewitched myself. I enjoyed the plots more. Samantha seemed a little more brighter that Jeanie who always seemed a few fries short of a happymeal...although I think it's her "Fish out of water" that gets her in the most trouble. Her "being a slave to her master" attitude was a little hard to swallow. Also Bewitched had Endora and Uncle Arthur which were HIGHLY entertaining. Not to mention Mrs Kravitz.

Other considerations...

Song Theme - About even
Outfits - Jeanie (love her bottle as well)
Husbands - Jeanie
Side Characters - Bewitched
Wiggle of Nose vs Jeanie Blink

Both of these shows baffle me!

How could these guys end up with beautiful women with magical powers and then act like they didn't like it?

Bewitched!!

Paul Lynne and the immortal Agnes Moorehead.

nuff said.

Bewitched by a mile, but Jeannie was pretty good too.

All the relatives in Bewitched were awesome, like Aunt Clara.

And then Dr. Bombay and Esmerelda and all the rest. So great.

I did love when they showed the inside of Jeannie's bottle, though. That was always cool.

This made me think of the Flying Nun

which made me think of Gidget

so anyways heres the camel toe of a 19 year old Sally Field

I dream of Jeannie

and not because my name is Jeannie

Wiggling or blinking....as long as they both work, what's it matter

Neither.

talents

Here's a bit of a "mashup" for ya...



...Barbara Eden & Dick York.


From an episode of the 60s western series Rawhide.

Tribal Disorder

"I Dream of Jeannie."
On so many levels, the premise represented an archetypal male fantasy from that era:

Larry Hagman portraying a bachelor astronaut, the heights of alpha maledom -- successful, famous (remember, astronauts were still relatively new when this series dropped) and single.
He comes into possession of a genie bottle that contains a beautiful creature who will cater to his wishes and is crazy for him.

The only thing that kept it in the madcap realm was that, for some reason, Hagman's character had to keep it all a secret.

Wow...that's like having to choose between Star Wars and Star Trek.



I guess I.D.O.Jeanie...based on the hotness factor.

... and, she called him "Master!" This show was shot in the 1960s. It was pushing limits on all sorts of levels.

easy choice,,,


BEWITCHED

PurpleJedi said:

Barbara Eden was hot. On every episode I wanted to yell "C'mon JR. F*** Jeannie already!" (The episode with Sammy Davis Jr. was kewl.)

I give it to Bewitched though. Elizabeth had a way with our young boys minds and our Penthouse Forum derived mental outlook.

"Boy why you watching old Bewitched reruns? Everybody's in here watching Good Times."

"Uh. I uh. I was trying to see if this was the one where Darren got turned into an elephant".

Bewitched

I actually have some on dvd . I like how Samantha was clever and just, and I like the way she communicated with her husband.

Both.....supermodel sanwich.

Imagine what it feels like to have a girlfriend OR wife to call you "master"?!?
