Best movie of this year hands down!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I am writing this in 2015 after re-watching the entire collection for the second time. I was first introduced to this show by my mom who watched it in her younger years. When she visited me, we spent about a week watching all the episodes. When I was younger, this was screened during the day on Channel 4 (in England). Then I 'acquired' the collection in 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed the show. But why? Not only was NASA every child's dream, but the comedy is wonderful. This show would have never worked without Larry Hagman in such a perfect role as the excellent comic timed, forever-nervous and jumpy Capt (later Maj) Anthony Nelson. This is attributed to Jeannie the genie who tries to assist Nelson in a a good way, but always ends up being for the worse. Bill Dailey as Maj Healey is a perfect friend who gets looped into everything. All the strange and weird events are witnesses by Col Bellows (the CMO and psychiatrist) whose goal is to 'understand Maj Nelson'. Great show, and very hilarious and above all, timeless. Thanks to mom for introducing me to this.

To tell you the truth, I was never a fan of "I Dream of Jeannie" but I did see the reruns as a child when they showed reruns on local stations. I love Barbara Eden as Jeannie and Larry Hagman as her master. Although now several years later, I felt the show degrades Jeannie in the power of a man. I don't think it was ever meant to be sexist since it was over forty years ago. Still, the marvelous Sidney Sheldon did a fantastic job in writing the series which only lasted five years maybe it was because of the women's liberation movement. Regardless, I did enjoy the on screen chemistry between Hagman and Eden. Nobody could ever fill Eden's shoes as Jeannie. While there is production for an updated movie version, nobody could fill Jeannie's shoes like Barbara Eden.

Major Anthony Nelson (Larry Hagman) is in for it when he opens up a bottle on a deserted island. Out pops the beautiful genie, Jeannie (Barbara Eden), and right after that all the trouble starts. Jeannie means well but most of the time her good intentions make hilarious trouble for her master. Doctor Alfred Bellows is determined to find out what is going on with Tony. One time he walked into Tony's house to find an elaphant in the bedroom! Tony always has to find a way to get out of the trouble, with his best friend Roger Heeley to help him. This comical and romantic show will keep you asking for more. Please watch it because I know that once you do you will be almost as hooked as I am!

I guess I'm just a "Bewitched" kinda guy. While I watched IDOJ (during it's original run-yikes!) I always felt she was a poor step-sister to Samatha and the gang. Jeanne was very child-like, throwing tantrums, getting jealous, and if not getting her way she would do some Jeanne maneuver to screw up the situation. While I liked Tony and his cool bachelor pad of season one, I never liked Major Bellows or the Admiral. The secondary characters were always the same, Bellows always thinks he has Tony caught in his trap, only to find in the end that his scheme didn't pan out.Of course, I can't dismiss the show totally. Jeanne's evil sister and the occasional appearance of the Blue Gin added much needed momentum to a show that relied heavily on mayhem and mischief from Jeanne. Larry Hagman, as Major Nelson, turned out to be a comedic genius during the show, who would have known? Once Jeanne and Tony married, the show went from a situation comedy to essentially a drama about married life. A true death knell for any show, think "Get Smart." On a parting thought, I will admit that Jeanne's bottle was way cool and I have a Jim Beam bottle on my coffee table as a reminder of the show, but alas, no circular couch inside.
