I DREAM OF JEANNIE -
SEASON 2 |
|
1. Happy Anniversary |
September 12, 1966 |
|
"How does thou wish to die?" |
- The Blue Djinn |
|
|
|
|
In the first color episode,
(the first season was later colorized for reruns and DVD releases) we
learn Tony and Jeannie have been together one year but are no closer
to marriage. Jeannie causes Tony's latest space mission to crash-land
on the same island of their first meeting. Tony comes upon (guess
what) another genie bottle, but this time, it doesn't have a
beautiful woman inside. It has the evil Blue Djinn, the man who
imprisoned Jeannie in her bottle 2,000 years earlier. Tony and
Jeannie try several methods to defeat the Blue Djinn. At one point,
Tony turns on the television and uses images of violence (from TV
newscasts) to frighten Djinn into defeat, but that plan falters when
unexpected visitor Roger blabs. After Tony and Jeannie finally defeat
Djinn (by luring him into a vacuum cleaner and throwing it to the
bottom of the ocean), the two enjoy a peaceful anniversary dinner...
on the same island where they met one year earlier. |
Director: Claudio Guzman,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
Guest Starring: Michael Ansara |
|
In the first broadcast color episode of
the series, the desert island is recreated on a studio backlot and
Barbara Eden's then-husband, Michael Ansara, is introduced as the
Blue Djinn. |
This was the first episode to feature the
theme song that would last until the shows finale. |
|
When Blue Djinn was seen arriving at the
shore of the deserted island, a reflection of a set of buildings was
seen behind him of what was suppose to be a vast ocean as far as the
eye could see. |
When the Blue Djinn comes out of the ocean
much of the blue paint has been washed off. |

Always on Sunday |
September 19, 1966 |
|
"Jeannie you can't stop time." |
- Major Anthony Nelson |
"Oh, but you are wrong Master. I
already have." |
- Jeannie |
|
|
|
Jeannie thinks that Tony
has been working too hard and decides to give him (and the world) a
break by making every day Sunday. |
Director: Hal Cooper,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
|
When Jeannie & Tony are in the attic
after Dr. Bellows goes downstairs, Jeannie blinks a sweater she was
making on Tony. In one shot the sweater is purple with no button on
his right side collar. But when she blinks the sweater fully finished
in the next shot, the sweater is a deep blue/indigo color & you
see a black round button on the right side of the collar. |
When Major Healy comes in and finds Dr.
Bellows laying on the couch the door doesn't fully close behind him
then after some close up shots it has been closed. |

My Master, the Rich Tycoon |
September 26, 1966 |
|
"It makes me feel so good to see you
do it to somebody else." |
- Doctor
Bellows |
|
|
|
|
One morning while Tony is
shaving there comes a knock at his door, and Jeannie answers it
dressed in ordinary clothes. A man enters identifying himself as
Harry Huggins and he has an appointment to see Tony. Jeannie tell's
him that she is Major Nelson's Housekeeper. When Huggins scoffs at
her master's taste in furniture, Jeannie makes several valuable works
of art appear making Tony appear very rich. Unfortunately, Huggins is
from The Internal Revenue service and now Tony has some explaining to do. |
Director: Claudio Guzman,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
Guest Starring: Paul Lynde |
|
Harry Huggins, actor Paul Lynde, plays
Uncle Arthur on Bewitched. I dream of Jeannie was created and
produced by Sidney Sheldon in response to the great success of rival
network ABC's Bewitched series, which had debuted in 1964. |
|
Doctor Bellows tells Harry Huggins that
Major Nelson made it snow on him, but that didn't occur until the
next episode, "My Master, the Rainmaker" which originally
aired a week later. |
|
|

My Master, the Rainmaker |
October 3, 1966 |
|
"Jeannie, why didn't you stop the
rain when you left?" |
- Major Anthony Nelson |
"Rain? Oh... Four Corners! I left the
water running!" |
- Jeannie |
|
|
|
|
When Jeannie and Tony
decide to go on a picnic, it starts to rain and Jeannie blinks making
it sunny again. Tony is then amazed that Jeannie can control the
weather so he inadvertently wishes it could snow. When Jeannie makes
it snow Dr. Bellows arrives rousing his suspicion that Tony can
somehow control the weather. |
Director: Claudio Guzman,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
|
The snow that falls on Colonel Bellows is
obviously fake. The flakes are much too large, they fall off of him
much too easily, and it never melts even after he has been inside for
several minutes. |

My Wild-Eyed Master |
October 10, 1966 |
|
"P-R-I-V-A-T-E." |

Tony has recently failed an
eye test that determines whether he goes up into orbit or not and
when he goes to retake the test next day Jeannie tries to help him by
giving him better perfect eyes. But, things go wrong with the spell
and she gives Tony x-ray vision. |
Director: Hal Cooper,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
|
When Major Nelson can see through the wall
of the exam room, he sees into a conference room next door, with a
"PRIVATE" sign on the inside of the door. Such a sign
should be on the outside of the door leading into the room, not on
the inside of the door leading into the corridor. |

double date with Tony and two attractive girls which Jeannie is not
too happy about. To keep Roger from carrying out his plan she turns
him into a poodle. Later Roger gets captured and taken to the dog
pound and Tony goes to rescue him but ends up buying the wrong dog. |
Director: Hal Cooper,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
|
The character portrayed by Dick Wilson in
this 1966 episode is named Mr Wimple. Dick Wilson portrayed the
similarly named grocer, Mr Whipple, in advertisements for the Charmin
brand of toilet paper from 1964 until 1985. His character's name in
this episode is likely a nod to his famous TV commercial character. |
|
When Tony rescued Roger (turned into a
French poodle by Jeannie) from being sent to space, and he asks
him/it (Roger) about some data about a mission, the dog's barking is
heard but the dog does not bark. |

past as marshal of Gopher Gulch, a town plagued by rustlers. |
Director: Hal Cooper,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
Guest Starring: Hoyt Axton, Stephanie
Hill, Whit Bissell, Eddie Firestone |
|
This was the first episode of season two
to be filmed, and thus the first episode in color. |
This episode sends Tony to the Wild West.
Robert Conrad, who was the star of The Wild Wild West, auditioned for
the part of Tony and was seriously considered. The Wild Wild West and
I Dream of Jeannie both premiered in 1965. |
|
When Tony is in the street during the
quick draw scene there is a visible building and tower transmitter on
the hill in the distance. |

A well-meaning Jeannie has
tried her best to please Tony, but her magic continues to cause
problems. Roger suggests that Tony have Jeannie study Tales of
Arabian Nights, claiming it will teach her how to properly use her
gifts. Without any hesitation and despite Jeannie's objections, Tony
tells her to study the book. And just why does Jeannie object?
Because Tales of Arabian Nights is actually a guide book on how to
torture mean masters. |
Director: Hal Cooper,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
|
When Jeannie first reads out of
"Arabian Nights", the book Tony gave her as a gift to
study, she reads "and the genie bowed low & said to Aladdin,
my wish is your command". When in fact it should say, "your
wish is my command. |

Tony tells Jennies that
each year the Air Force puts on a TV talent show with contestants
from each base. Jennies insists that Tony enter since they need a
trophy for the mantle. Tony claims he doesn't have any talent and
Jennies fixes that problem giving him the equivalent of Enrico
Caruso's operatic singing voice. Knowing he can't go around suddenly
singing like Caruso Tony makes Jennies promise to never give him
Caruso's voice again but it's too late, General Paterson has already
heard about Tony's great singing voice and enters him in a talent show.
At the end of the episode,
Jeannie finally discovers her birth date. This was part of a nation
wide promotional "Guess Jeannie's Birthday" contest that
ran through episodes #2.10 to #2.13. Jeannie was born on April 1, 64
BC, which makes her 2029 years old (she doesn't look a day over 2024). |

Amanda Bellows |
|
|
|
Feeling sorry for a
dateless Roger, Jeannie arranges for every woman to fall instantly in
love with him at first sight, including his secretary, who happens to
be a mobsters girlfriend, and Mrs. Bellows. There must be a lot of
mobsters in Coco Beach. Tony's ex-girlfriend was married to a mobster
in episode 2.9. |

Guest Starring: Emmaline Henry, Julie
Gregg, John Milford |

At the beginning when Major Healey is on
the phone he says, "no, I'm the short, cute, dark haired
astronaut", when describing himself on the phone. Actually actor
Bill Daily (Major Healey) is 6'0" which is tall as compared to
the average height of 5'9" for a male. The Mercury program that
ran from May 1961 to May 1963 required astronauts to be less than 5
feet 11 inches. The height limit was a function of the design of the
Mercury spacecraft, which could not accommodate someone taller. Stock
footage of the Mercury spacecraft was used in the series yet neither
Major Nelson or Major Healey could have fit inside. Project Gemini
started in 1961 and concluded in 1966 and astronauts had to be 6 feet
0 inches (1.83 m) or less in height. Major Healey would qualify to
fly the Gemini spacecraft but Major Nelson (Larry Hagman) was
slightly over 6' (1.85 m). |
This is Emmaline Henry's first appearance
as Amanda Bellows. |

|
Second season episodes seven and fifteen
were filmed before the set renovation took place, giving viewers a
rare look at the first season set in true color before it was torn
down and rebuilt. |
Way back in episode 3 of this season, Dr.
Bellows refered to this incident when he was telling Henry Huggins
(Paul Lynde) of Tony's weird situations. |
Tony's and Dr. Bellows's addresses can be
seen on their bank ledger cards. Tony lives at 1132 Macy Street, and
Dr. Bellows at 1047 Turk Street. Also Cocoa Beach is spelt wrong on

Jeannie writes a book about
child care and after sending it to a publisher it becomes a best
seller. However, she has given the writing credit to Tony. Now Dr.

When Jeannie and Major Nelson are visiting
an art gallery, Jeannie runs up to a painting (never shown to the TV

Ansara." This is a reference to Michael Ansara, then the husband
of Barbara Eden. |
The 18-inch Jeannie doll seen in this
installment was licensed merchandise manufactured by Libby-Marjorette
in 1966. It has since become a high-priced collectible. |

Roger convinces Tony to let
Jeannie grant him a wish. Roger accidentally wishes that he hadn't
dropped coffee on Tony. The result is a fabric that cannot be burned,
stained, or cut. Dr. Bellows witnesses the impossible destruction of
the fabric and attempts to find out how Tony had concocted this great
invention. Later Roger takes
back his wish but remembers once having had wished to be the funniest
man in the world so Jeannie turns him into Groucho Marx. |
Director: Hal Cooper,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
Guest Starring: Groucho Marx, William Bakewell |
|
|
Sidney Sheldon managed to persuade his
neighbor Groucho Marx to come out of retirement to do a cameo. Marx
made it clear he didn't want to be paid in cash for his brief
appearance, so that he wouldn't have to pay taxes on it. Therefore,
the show's special effects man Richard Albain was asked to install a
state of the art RCA color television in Groucho's home, complete
with stereo-phonic speakers and a phonograph table. But when Marx
found out that the package did not include a remote control (still a
rare luxury in 1967), he ordered the whole thing removed again. |

When Dr. Bellows is informed he's being
transferred to Iceland, he complains about having to live with the
Eskimos. However, Eskimos are not native to Iceland. |

While Dr. Bellows and his
wife, Amanda, make an unannounced visit at Tony's home, Amanda spots
Jeannie's bottle and is taken by its pure beauty. She insists that
she must have the bottle, or at least a reasonable facsimile, and
Tony agrees to get a copy made. Of course when Dr. Bellows comes to
pick up the copy he takes the real bottle home instead, with Jeannie
inside. Once Tony and Roger discover the mix-up, they go on a frantic
search to retrieve Jeannie and the bottle at the Bellows' house. |

The set used for the exterior and interior
of the Bellows' house (below) is the set of the Stephens' house from Bewitched. |

|
When the Bellows drive up to their house,
mountains are plainly visible in the background (above left). The
show is set in Cocoa Beach, Florida, where there aren't any
mountains. Also when Dr. Bellows gets out of his car, he leaves the
headlights on. Inside the Bellows house the furniture has been
changed and rearranged to make it look different from the Stephen's
home but when you see the staircase and hallway you can tell it's the
Bewitched set. Not only did they rearranged the furniture they moved
some rooms too. In the hallway scene (above right) when Roger tells
Tony he just came from the study, that doorway in the Bewitched house
leads to the kitchen. |

showing him a much different version of his future. |

Jeannie uses a future telling machine to
see how Tony's life would turn out if he quit the space program and
took a civilian job. The interior set used for Tony's office is the
set used for Darrin Stephens' office in Bewitched. |
In one scene Jeannie wears a green harem

Director: Claudio Guzman,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
Guest Starring: Sammy Davis Jr., Barton
MacLane, James Waters, George Rhodes |
|
|
Sammy Davis Jr. agreed to make a guest
appearance because he was a good friend of Sidney Sheldon.
Unfortunately, Larry Hagman could be notoriously difficult if he felt
upstaged by a bigger star than himself, and tensions soon escalated
on set. Barbara Eden, who usually kept out of such things, had a
private talk with Sammy to convince him to stay and finish filming
the show. |
On January 10th 1967, while filming his
guest appearance, Sammy Davis Jr. visited the set of fellow Screen
Gems production The Monkees. He reportedly filmed a cameo with them
as well, although the footage, if any, has never been seen. |

Tony wishes to be able to
talk to Napoleon for just an hour, so Jeannie sends them back in
time. But Napoleon thinks that Tony is a spy and he plans to kill him. |
Director: Claudio Guzman,
Writer: Sidney Sheldon |
Guest Starring: Aram Katcher, Danielle De
Metz, Booth Colman |

When Tony first meets Napoleon he tells
him not to fight Wellington at Waterloo as he will be defeated and
then exiled to Elba. In fact, Napoleon fought at Waterloo after he
had escaped from exile on Elba. After being defeated he would then be
sent to the remote island of St. Helena in the south Atlantic Ocean. |
When Tony, in prison, has a visit from
Empress Josephine, he informs her of Princess Marie Louise of Austria
who Napoleon is already in love with. Later she returns with a baby
girl and tells him the infant is Marie Louise. Tony says if she would
just wait eighteen years Napoleon and Marie Louise would be madly in
love. However, eighteen years later Napoleon was not only no longer
Emperor of France but dead. |
Jeannie informs Tony the year she sent him
back to is 1803 and Napoleon is already Emperor of France. Napoleon
actually became Emperor in 1804. |

Learning that genies lose
their powers if they marry a mortal, Tony proposes to Jeannie. After
Roger and Jeannie learn that their children might get magical powers,
Jeannie keeps Roger away so that Tony won't learn that little fact. |
Director: Larry Hagman,
Writer: Allan Devon |
Guest Starring: Emmaline Henry, Abraham
Sofaer, Lorette Strome, Jimmy Jarratt |
|
As was later revealed in the reunion
films, Jeannie and Tony did have a son that they would name Tony Jr.
(TJ for short). However, they never did have the daughter also
foretold by Haji. |
|
During the scene with the children on the
patio, the yellow tissue paper (that had wrapped the fire engine toy)
was strewn around continuously appears and disappears (seen from the
inside of the house, but alternately seen from the patio). |
Jeanie's sister has been said to have
married many times, and she still has powers. Therefore, marrying a
mortal couldn't possibly make Jeanie loose her powers. Also, as it
was seen in the final season, Jeannie still had her powers even after
marrying Tony. |

Hanley, Woodrow Parfrey |

"Oh yes, Major Nelson and I are going
to Major Healy's house tonight for a party." |
- Jeannie |
|
|
|
Jeannie and Tony get
invited to Roger's "Mod" Party only to discover that Tony
and Roger have a special NASA meeting that on the same night. Roger
and Tony give Dr. Bellows a phony excuse to get out of the meeting
and go to the party but they are found out when Dr. Bellows and his
wife make a surprise appearance at Roger's house. |
Director: Claudio Guzman /
Pegg Chantler Dick, Writer: Pegg Chantler Dick / Douglas M. Dick |
Guest Starring: Emmaline Henry, Dabney
Coleman, Hilarie Thompson, Cathleen Cordell |
|
The title refers to the mod or MODernist
subculture that originated in London, England in the late 1950s and
peaked in the early to mid 1960s that was typified by fashion, pop
music and British beat music. (Yea Baby, Oh be-have!). |
|
In the opening scene, the next door
neighbor is holding red roses. After a camera change, he is holding
yellow roses. |
Tony and Roger are "hunting" in
skirts that Jeannie blinks up for them. Tony ends up hanging upside
down revealing striped underpants. Back at the party, he is dancing
and his skirt flips up showing solid underpants. |
When Jeannie and Tony come near the door,
the picture on the wall falls down. When Dr Bellows and his wife come
near the door the picture is back upon the wall and then falls down again. |
In the opening scene when Tony is pulling
the car out of the garage, the car stops short before Jeannie blinks
herself onto the hood of the car. |
