You know, Larry Hagman, never really got the credit he deserves for being a great comedic actor. He is absolutely hysterical as the straight man in this series. Most people know him as J.R., but to me he will always be Major Anthony Nelson.
:40 is from the end of "My Son, the Genie" (1967) {"...and YOU should be president!"}; :43 is from an early publicity shoot in March '65, just after the pilot was sold to NBC [it was taken before Barbara became noticably pregnant that spring]; :48 is from "Djinn and Water" (1965) {JEANNIE: "I have not left, yet.."/BILEJIK: "If there's one thing I cannot stand, it's a sneaky genie!!"}; :1:11 is from the same photo shoot for the February '66 "TV Guide" cover [1:05], unused...
Interesting publicity and production photos....some are familiar, and some I'm seing for the first time: :09 is from 1966, before the "green outfit" became "Jeannie's sister's"; :12 is from "Eternally Yours, Jeannie" (1970), before she forgot to change herself into "Bonnie Crenshaw"'s image; :23 is from a 1969 "TV Guide" photo shoot intended for the issue about Jeannie's wedding; :27 is from 1968 {"cleavage shot"}; :32 is from the '65 pilot; :36 is from "Jeannie, the Governor's Wife" (1969)....
Incidentally, even though Buddy Kaye (best known as the lyricist of Perry Como's "'Till the End Of Time" in 1945) wrote lyrics for the theme, Sheldon decided not to use them on the show. This is one of the rare recorded versions of the theme with the lyrics intact...
Hugo got the assigment of writing a new theme for the second season (1966-'67) after creator/producer Sidney Sheldon became dissatisfied with Richard Wess' original theme and score during seaaon one. He "tested" composers like Nelson Riddle towards the end of the first season, but was most impressed with Hugo's scores for "How Lucky Can You Get?" and "My Master, the Thief". He made sure Hugo also created original scores (note the famous "subtheme" at the beginning) for the rest of the series.
I wish I could find the variations on this theme that were used throughout the show.
