Jeannie, free from her bottle, is excited to meet Tony.In the pilot episode, ', astronaut Captain Tony Nelson, is on a space flight when his one-man capsule Stardust One comes down far from the planned recovery area, near a deserted island in the. On the beach, Tony notices a strange bottle that rolls by itself.

Ground Breakers is an HGTV home improvement reality series hosted by landscaping pros Joe Washington and Justin Cave, two enthusiastic designers who lend their keen eye for detail and composition.
Then, per his instructions, she 'blinks' and causes a recovery helicopter to show up to rescue Tony, who is so grateful, he tells her she is free, but Jeannie, who has fallen in after being trapped for 2,000 years, re-enters her bottle and rolls it into Tony's duffel bag so she can accompany him back home. One of the first things Jeannie does, in a subsequent episode, is break up Tony's engagement to his commanding general's daughter, Melissa, who, along with that particular general, is never seen or mentioned again.
This event reflects producer Sidney Sheldon's decision that the engagement depicted in the pilot episode would not be part of the series continuity; he realized the romantic triangle he created between Jeannie, Tony, and Melissa would not pan out in the long run.Tony at first keeps Jeannie in her bottle most of the time, but he finally relents and allows her to enjoy a life of her own. However, her life is devoted mostly to his, and most of their problems stem from her love and affection towards Tony, and her desire to please him and fulfill her ancient heritage as a genie, especially when he does not want her to do so. His efforts to cover up Jeannie's antics, because of his fear that he would be dismissed from the space program if her existence were known, brings him to the attention of 's resident, U.S. Air Force Colonel Dr. Alfred Bellows. In a, Dr. Bellows tries over and over to prove to his superiors that Tony is either crazy or hiding something, but he is always foiled (' He's done it to me again!'
) and Tony's job remains secure. A frequently used plot device is that Jeannie loses her powers when she is confined in a closed space. She is unable to leave her bottle when it is corked, and under certain circumstances, the person who removed the cork would become her new master. A multiple-episode story arc involves Jeannie (in miniature) becoming trapped in a safe when it is accidentally locked. Tony and Jeannie.
Background The series was created and produced by in response to the great success of rival network 's series, which had debuted in 1964 as the second-most watched program in the United States. Sheldon, inspired by the movie, which had starred, and as the Fakrash, conceived of the idea for a beautiful female genie. Both I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched were productions. The show debuted at 8 pm, Saturday, September 18, 1965, on NBC.When casting was opened for the role of Jeannie, producer Sidney Sheldon could not find an actress who could play the role the way that he had written it. He did have one specific rule: He did not want a blonde genie, because the similarity with the blonde witch on would be too much. However, after many unsuccessful auditions, he called Barbara Eden's agent. When NBC began broadcasting most of its prime-time television programs in color in the fall of 1965, Jeannie was one of two regular programs on NBC that remained in black and white, in this case, because of the special photographic effects employed to achieve Jeannie's magic.
By the second season, however, further work had been done on techniques to create the visual effects in color, necessary because by 1966 all prime-time series in the United States were being made in color.According to Dreaming of Jeannie, a book by Stephen Cox and Howard Frank, Sheldon originally wanted to film season one in color, but NBC did not want to pay for the extra expenses, as the network (and Screen Gems) believed the series would not make it to a second season. According to Sheldon in his autobiography The Other Side of Me, he offered to pay the extra US$400 an episode needed for color filming at the beginning of the series, but Screen Gems executive Jerry Hyams advised him: 'Sidney, don't throw your money away.'
Opening sequence The first few episodes after the pilot (episodes two through eight) used a nonanimated, expository opening narrated by; the narration mentions that Nelson lived in 'a mythical town' named Cocoa Beach in 'a mythical state called Florida'. The remaining episodes of that first season featured an animated sequence that was redone and expanded in season two, when the show switched from black and white to color. This new sequence, used in seasons 2–5, featured a retelling of the initial meeting in the pilot episode, with Captain Nelson's space capsule splashing down on the beach, and Jeannie dancing out of her bottle (modified to reflect its new decoration) and then kissing Nelson before the bottle sucks her back in at the end. Both original versions of the show's animated opening sequence were done by animator.Setting Although the series was set in and around, and Major Nelson lived at 1020 Palm Drive in nearby, locales in California were used in place of those in Florida. The exterior of the building where he and Major Healey had offices was actually the main building at the NASA Flight Research Center (renamed as the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in March 1976 and as the in 2014) at, north of Los Angeles. 'If you look at some of those old episodes, it's supposed to be shot in Cocoa Beach, but in the background you have mountains — the Hollywood Hills,' Bill Daily said. In actuality, the home of Major Nelson (also used as the Anderson house in 'Father Knows Best') was filmed at the Warner Ranch, in Burbank (on Blondie Street).
Many exteriors were filmed at this facility. Interior filming was done at the (the original studio lot) in Hollywood.The cast and crew only made two visits to Florida's, both in 1969. On June 27, a parade in Cocoa Beach escorted Eden and the rest of the cast to Cocoa Beach City Hall, where she was greeted by fans and city officials. They were then taken to at Cape Canaveral where she pressed a button to launch a. They had dinner at Bernard's Surf, where Eden was given the state of Florida's Commodore Award for outstanding acting. Later, the entourage went to Lee Caron's Carnival Club, where Eden was showered with gifts and kissed astronaut on the cheek, just two weeks before the launch. I Dream of Jeannie Lane sign inThe cast and crew returned on November 25, 1969, for three days for a mock wedding of Eden and Hagman staged for television writers from around the nation (timed to the airing of the nuptials episode on December 2) at the Officers Club.
Then-Florida Governor, attended and cut the cake for the couple.Eden returned 27 years later, in July 1996, as a featured speaker for Space Days at the. Cocoa Beach Mayor Joe Morgan presented her an 'I Dream of Jeannie Lane' street sign, later installed on a short street off near Lori Wilson Park.On September 15, 2005, the area held a 'We Dream of Jeannie' festival, including a Jeannie lookalike contest. Plans for one in 2004 were interrupted. However, a Jeannie lookalike contest was held in 2004, with Bill Daily attending.On August 24, 2012, Cocoa Beach City leaders honored the show with a roadside plaque outside Lori Wilson Park. Jeannie's origin In the first season, Jeannie clearly was originally a human who was turned into a genie by (as later revealed Season 1, Episode 2: My Hero?) the Blue Djinn when she refused to marry him (the term 'djinn' is synonymous with 'genie').
Several members of Jeannie's family, including her parents, are rather eccentric, but none is a genie. Her mother describes the family as 'just peasants from the old country' (Season 1, Episode 14, What House Across the Street?).
The Blue Djinn was played by Barbara Eden's first husband,. In later seasons, he also played King Kamehameha (Season 3, Episode 15 The Battle of Waikiki), and Biff Jellico (Season 5, Episode 12 My Sister, the Homewrecker).The topic of Jeannie originally being human is restated in season two during the episode 'How to be a Genie in 10 Easy Lessons'.
Jeannie mentions that she has a sister who is a genie, but the phrasing – 'she was a genie when I left Baghdad' – does bring up the question of whether she, too, was born a genie. One minor subplot that lasted over multiple episodes was when Jeanie was born. In season 1, episode 5 ('G.I.Jeannie'), while applying for recruitment into the Air Force, Jeannie clearly states her birthday as July 1, 21 B.C.
In Season 2, Episode 10 ('The Girl Who Never Had a Birthday'), Jeannie somehow forgets her birthday, setting up the two-episode plot. It was revealed by a computer (E.R.I.C.) estimate in part one that Jeannie was born in 64 BC, and in part two it was further revealed that she was born on April 1.In the third season, this and Jeannie was assumed to have always been a genie. All her relatives are then also genies, including, by the fourth season, her mother (also played by Barbara Eden beginning in Season 4, Episode 2 Jeannie and the Wild Pipchicks). This may have been done to increase the similarity with, or simply to increase the number of possible plotlines. Whatever the reason, this new concept was retained for the rest of the series.The TV movie I Dream of Jeannie. Fifteen Years Later (1985) reiterates most of Jeannie's first-season origin when she tells her son, Tony Jr., that she was trapped in her bottle by an evil djinn after she refused to marry him.
This section does not any. Unsourced material may be challenged and.Find sources: – ( December 2015) Jeannie's iconic bottle was not created for the show. The actual bottle was a special Christmas 1964 liquor decanter containing 'Beam's Choice'.
It was designed by Roy Kramer for the Wheaton Bottle Company. For years, Sidney Sheldon was said to have received one as a gift and thought it would be a perfect design for the series. Several people in the Screen Gems art department also take credit for finding the bottle. Strong evidence, however, indicates first season director saw one in a liquor store and bought it, bringing it to Sheldon.Jeannie's bottle was left in its original dark, smoke-green color, with a painted gold-leaf pattern (to make it look like an antique), during the first season. The plot description of the pilot episode in in September 1965 referred to it as a 'green bottle'.
In that first episode, it also looked quite rough and weathered. Since the show was originally filmed in black and white, a lot of colors and patterns were not necessary. When the show switched to color, the show's art director came up with a brightly colored purple bottle to replace the original. The later colorized version of the show's first season tried to make out that the smoked glass look of the original gold-leaf design is in fact purple, to match the consistent look of the bottle used in the second through fifth seasons.The first-season bottle had a clear glass stopper that Tony took from a 1956 Old Grand-Dad Bourbon bottle in his home, as the original stopper was left behind on the beach where Tony found Jeannie. In the first color episode, Jeannie returns to the beach, and her bottle is seen to have its original stopper (painted to match the bottle), presumably retrieved by her upon her return there. The rest of the TV series (and the movies) used the original bottle stopper. (During some close-ups, one can still see the plastic rings that hold the cork part of the stopper in place.)During the first season, in black and white, the smoke effect was usually a screen overlay of billowing smoke, sometimes combined with animation.
Early color episodes used a purely animated smoke effect. Sometime later, a live smoke pack, lifted out of the bottle on a wire, was used.Jeannie's color-episodes bottle was painted mainly in pinks and purples, while the bottle for the Blue Djinn was a first-season design with a heavy green wash, and Jeannie's sister's bottle was simply a plain, unpainted Jim Beam bottle.No one knows exactly how many bottles were used during the show, but members of the production have estimated that around 12 bottles were painted and used during the run of the series.
The stunt bottle used mostly for the smoke effect was broken frequently by the heat and chemicals used to produce Jeannie's smoke. In the pilot episode, several bottles were used for the opening scene on the beach; one was drilled through the bottom for smoke, and another was used to walk across the sand and slip into Tony's pack. Two bottles were used from promotional tours to kick off the first season, and one bottle was used for the first-season production.Barbara Eden got to keep the color stunt bottle used on the last day of filming the final episode of the series. It was given to her by her make-up woman after the show was canceled while the show was on hiatus. According to the DVD release of the first season, Bill Daily owned an original bottle, and according to the talk show, Larry Hagman also owned an original bottle.In the penultimate episode, 'Hurricane Jeannie', Nelson dreams that Dr. Bellows discovers Jeannie's secret, and that Jeannie's bottle is broken when dropped.
A broken bottle is shown on camera. This was intended to be the series' final episode and is often shown that way in syndication.Broadcast.

During the second season, in a story that is the focus of a two-part episode and a peripheral plot of two further episodes (the 'Guess Jeannie's Birthday' contest began with the opening two-part episode on November 14, 1966, concluding with the name of the winner revealed after the end of the fourth episode, 'My Master, the Great Caruso', on December 5), it was established that Jeannie did not know her birthday, and her family members could not agree when it was, either.
Tony and Roger use NASA's powerful new computer and horoscopic guidance based on Jeannie's traits to calculate it. The year is quickly established as 64 BC, but only Roger is privy to the exact date and he decides to make a game out of revealing it. This date became the basis of the contest. Jeannie finally forces it out of him at the end of the fourth episode: April 1.In a third-season four-part episode ('Genie, Genie, Who's Got the Genie?' January 16 – February 6, 1968), Jeannie is locked in a safe bound for the moon.
Any attempt to force the safe or use the wrong combination will destroy it with an explosive. Jeannie is in there so long that whoever opens the safe will become her master.
The episodes spread out over four weeks, during which a contest was held to guess the safe's combination. This explains why Larry Hagman is never seen saying the combination out loud: His mouth is hidden behind the safe or the shot is on Jeannie when he says it. The combination was not decided until just before the episode aired, with Hagman's voice dubbed in. Over the closing credits, Barbara Eden announced and congratulated the contest winner, with 4–9–7 as the winning combination.In the fourth season, a two-part episode, 'The Case Of My Vanishing Master' (January 6–13, 1969), concerned Tony being taken to a secret location somewhere in the world, while a perfect double took his place at home.
A contest was held to guess the location where Tony had been taken. Unlike earlier contests, the answer was not revealed within the story. At the end of 'Invisible House For Sale' (February 3, 1969), a special 'contest epilogue' had Jeannie and Tony reveal to the audience the 'secret location', followed by the name of the 'Grand Prize Winner'.Reception Nielsen ratings SeasonTimeRankRatingSaturday at 8:00–8:30 PM#2721.8 (tie)Monday at 8:00–8:30 PMNot in the Top 30Tuesday at 7:30–8:00 PMMonday at 7:30–8:00 PM#2620.7Tuesday at 7:30–8:00 PMNot in the Top 30Syndication When reruns debuted on New York's, Jeannie won its time period with a 13 rating and a 23 share of the audience.
