While on a mission, American astronaut Captain Tony Nelson is forced to make an emergency landing that will forever change his life.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
ninja_glace This show was produced during the years following World War 2, when large numbers of American GIs were returning home from campaigns in overseas theaters. One of the places where American soldiers fought was North Africa, which was used by the armed forces to stage an invasion of Italy. This show is most likely a metaphor for a GI who brought home a bride from overseas.I've seen some pretty scathing criticism directed towards the portrayal of gender roles in this show, but it looks a lot more progressive if one interprets it in its historical context. Prior to the women's liberation movement of the 1960s, there was the first wave of feminism during the 1920s triggered by the passage of 19th Amendment which granted women suffrage for the first time.It looks like this show is trying to appeal to the sensibilities of socially conservative feminists, such as the ones who made up the suffrage movement. This demographic subset may not be as common among the mainstream American population, but you will see it quite a bit in the academic establishment.
brian_m_hass An American astronaut's space capsule lands on an island, where he discovers a bottle containing a genie. The genie follows the astronaut home and turns his life upside down. The astronaut and his best friend struggle to maintain a veneer of normalcy to prevent a nosy NASA psychiatrist from discovering the presence of the genie.This series is one of the best remembered American sitcoms from the late 1960's. Although the word, "iconic," is often overused in the world of entertainment, it is a perfect adjective for describing this show. This sitcom is one of the many novelty shows which were popular during the 1960's. The series is often compared to "Bewitched," which was another sitcom that was produced during the same time period and which had many similarities in its premise.The series is filled with a lot of fun characters. Major Tony Nelson is the flustered astronaut who is frequently forced to explain his embarrassing predicaments, which are mostly caused by his beautiful female genie. The genie (who is named Jeannie) is an impulsive but well meaning rascal who is constantly meddling in Tony Nelson's life. Another astronaut named Major Roger Healy is Tony Nelson's best friend; and, his character provides a large portion of the show's comic relief. Dr. Bellows is the NASA psychiatrist who is constantly trying to catch Tony Nelson in the act of doing something strange.The series does leave a few unanswered questions. Jeannie is in love with Major Nelson and is frequently pursuing him; but, Tony Nelson constantly resists her during most of the series. Why would Tony Nelson spend so much time avoiding romantic involvement with this beautiful genie? Dr. Bellows constantly harasses Tony Nelson in an effort to collect evidence that Tony is engaged in strange behavior. Why does Tony Nelson tolerate this? Why is Dr. Bellows allowed to walk into Tony Nelson's private home without knocking? None of these unanswered questions are necessarily problems for the series; but, they do keep the viewers wondering.The sitcom is a lot of fun. Jeannie's unpredictable behavior is the source of a lot of the show's situations. The characters are well played and very likable; and, there is great chemistry between them. The show's atmosphere is very lively; and, the stories are always funny. The television series is highly recommended.
angelicseven I Dream of Jeannie (1965) TV series is something of every man's dreams; to have their cake and eat it too. Which is a beautiful knockout blonde female like Jeannie and anything else desired. This is really a timeless masterpiece. The problem with Nelson is he seemed too wrapped up in his astronaut duties/career that he seem to take for granted the appealing female Genie. I bet a lot of guys watching the show would had no problem or hesitation in wanting Jeannie for themselves. When it came to Jeannie, Nelson made me feel like I wish I could go up to him and POW right in the arm for being so blind to her. It's funny but I didn't realize until now, after all these years, that the name Jeannie matches what she was... which is a Genie. Barbara Eden will always be the Genie of our dreams!

Like many artisans before him, Della Casa found inspiration inside of a bottle, but in this case it was Barbara Eden's from I DREAM OF JEANNIE. Says Mario, "I was intrigued by Jeannie's sequestered life deep within her jewel-tone bottle filled with groovy furnishings, so I created one to satisfy my own fascination." He would learn that this obsession was not exclusively his own, as he was quickly called upon to commission others for friends. Then the floodgates opened: "It's impossible to count all the collectors and connoisseurs that needed to have one of my hand-painted bottles. It has taught me never to underestimate the power of a TV show that resonates in our collective hearts." In fact, so momentous was the demand for his original Jeannie Bottles, that Della Casa is the only artist ever to be awarded the license by Sony Entertainment to officially create them for the world!
