I Dream of Jeannie Minisodes - Watch the Birdie

[caddop22]

Crackle sucks.........................­.

[htrrz]

thanks for posting I grew up in the 60's and loved the sitcoms, back when we could have humor without insulting anyone, making hurtful fun of anyone, and none of it had to be related to sex, or violence, some people today must wonder what we enjoyed in them? Taking into account TV in the last 20 years.

[DancingSpiderman]

That golf course, that's at Griffith Park ...! Can anybody corroborate this?

I remember playing there on occasion back in the late 1990s

WoW Jeannie is hott

[gavinenema]

@DancingSpiderman

Yup, definitely Griffith Park. That clubhouse in the background shot gives it away. I played there from 2000 to 2009, so I know those [two] courses -- Wilson & Harding -- like the back of my hand.

[DancingSpiderman]

@DancingSpiderman Thanx.

I used to live in Burbank about a mile from there.

I miss the LA area...

[cboardwoman]

@MinisodeNetwork i forgot to mention laugh-in and the dean martin roasts, funny ..you should check it out

[fromthesidelines]

Yes, all five seasons (including a choice of "colorized" or original black and white season one episodes- although the original monochrome versions are HARD to find) ARE available on DVD, 'yourimage'... "box sets" and individual "seasons". Several websites and retail stores have them in stock.

[yourimageunreels]

I hope this show is out on DVD. We didn't get

this network growing up...so we couldn't watch

this show.

[robertmastroianni]

I could never figure out why Major Healy's uniform was cacky and Major Nelson's was blue.

[gjl0120]

Tony Nelson was in the Air Force (Blue Uniform) while Roger Healy was in the Army, assigned to work with Nelson and company.

[eaf6701]

This was my favorite SHow now it's not on TV anymore why?

[Josh3455]

It is. On WGN at 2:00.

[franthree]

Wait a minute! This is the colorized version! It was B&W the first season? Looks so good in color! The show I think was rather "Creaky" the first year! It was much better by season no.3!

[ItsTachy]

The first season was in black and white, I guess they just colorized it.

[MirkPurr]

Remember this is set in 1965 - TV today does not have the imagination or talent of then.. IDOJ Forever!!

[Ericquelle]

Where is Major Heely NOW???

[CorporalPeterNewkirk]

by the way its healy

[fromthesidelines]

As I've said before, Tony's stubbornness in not allowing Jeannie to help him out of tight situations (usually influenced by her, of course) was a recurring theme in Sidney Sheldon's scripts- he was a "master" at writing them without ever going stale. "Master's" attitude towards Jeannie was usually, "I don't NEED your help, I can handle this myself!" Of course, she often did...WE know what we'd like her to do for "us", and that's part of the fun.

[dakota975]

Five years of trying to convince Dr. Bellows the acts of magic he was seeing was only his imagination acting up got annoying after a while.

And what single man wouldn't allow his genie to use her powers? Come on, for real???

[MinisodeNetwork]

definitely would have needed Jeannie's help

[karobhars]

Love this series.. and Jeannie is soo beautiful... charming..

[MinisodeNetwork]

you must dream of jeannie too! Glad you're enjoying the minisode

[donaldduck22]

I love your analogy!!

"I Dream of Jeanie" was an amazing televised series.

Television today is nothing in comparison - nothing!

[brosue4]

does the major have pretty blue eyes or what

[CATtie397]

omg! I know i can't get over them!

jk, but they are pretty!

[BindiPig]

that was funny!

[gegeganda28]

BUCK! BUCK! BUCK!

[Verityxxxx]

yay you have some! :) [ dont you just love buck?]

[prettykitty6990]

thx for not adding music to this vid.i loved to c one whole show with the actors speakin!

[ChiefEaglefeather]

Thanks for posting these shows!

[hihowareyoujoe]

ya the old shows, kick todays TV's ass, especially gilligans island

[ChiefEaglefeather]

You are SOO Right, Todays shows are sleezy and crap most of them. There use to be quality in comedy back in the day!

[luvstans26]

I agree.

[russtex]

Ditto

[rh2006fan]

Love IDoJ ;)

[430042]

I use to watch a lot of I Dream Of Jeannie when I was young, however, I am not familar with this episode from the first season. Is there any chances of seeing this episode" Watch the Birdie" from the beginning to end?

[hihowareyoujoe]

maybe try searching for a torrent for it on google

[MRGEICO]

het major helie

[sgnmath1234]

I like the original song better than the later,more popular song.

[mcgritch]

Couldn't get the rights to the theme song? D'oosh.

[SmegmaCrazy]

This was the original theme song, before the one we all remember from later seasons.

[iluvcheezitsheyhey]

I love this show!  Roger is hilarious!

[askagaydad]

Yea, Jeannie and Samantha (Bewitched) what are they doin' with these guys? Guys who want to hide them away in a bottle or as a housewife. Ick. but, a, I LOVED both shows.

[livingforyoursocks]

People really knew how to dress then- everyone looks so sharp (Especially Jeannie!!!)

[fromthesidelines]

Exteriors for this episode were shot at Griffith Park Golf Course, where I believe Jerry Barber was the "house pro" at the time...since Sidney Sheldon wrote this episode, there was more emphasis on the "battle of the sexes"- in the opening sequence, Jeannie pops into "Master's" bedroom while he's dressing (even though he tells her she isn't supposed to!), and send him to the golf course without his pants {well, he TOLD her it was urgent he be there to meet General Peterson}! "Master"...HA!

[kgirl42]

I'm not sure if feminist themes are relevant here... Jeannie's an entity, not a woman.

[MinisodeNetwork]

What are the feminist implications here:

a.) It's a woman being kept in a bottle, who refers to her boss as "Master," and is constantly appeasing his every wish.

vs.

b.) A symbol of empowerment. Jeannie ultimately has all the power, and holds all the cards. In the above, her "Master" would be completely lost without her.
