• Jeannie Bottle Prop Fr...
Hawaii Five-O is really full of crew shadows and goofs just as in this show. With no VHS or DVDs they never thought anyone would notice.
In case no one else said it Major Healey was not in the Air Force like Major Nelson. He was in the Army. Henceforth the Green uniform. Notice the engineer castle on his uniform. Meaning he was in the Army Corp of Engineers detached to NASA. The reason it's the castle and not the Aviator's insignia is the corp waan't created until 1983. And one more thing. Larry Hagman was in the Air Force and Bill Daley was in the Army before their acting careers.
I went on a tour of the Jim Beam distillery once and they had both versions of Jeannie's bottle in a display case. Season 1 and season 2 and later.
That's so cool that they embrace their bottle to I Dream Of Jeannie!
Thanks for putting these together, that was a great time for TV programs.
Thanks for the wonderful memories, I was a primetime viewer I can remember back to 1968, but when it ended I don't think it went into reruns until the early 70's, this and Bewitched were 2 of my favs!
I can't remember when it went into reruns. I liked Bewitched also but I liked Jeannie better. I think because Darren on Bewitched was always trying to not let Samantha use her magic while Jeannie used her magic more freely.
Major Healy wears Army Engineer Corps brass. He also has Aviator wings. He's actually a Captain, wearing silver bars in the scene at 20:17.
When this was new, we only had a black and white tv. most people did too.
We did too. When we finally got a color TV, we were in shock at all the colors on shows back then. 😁
Keep up the excellent work amigo! I enjoy you pointing out the goofs and gaffs in my favorites from when I was a kid. Be safe. Looking forward to season two.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! 😁
@@outsider238 I as well. Growing up at that time we always watched Bewitched but not I Dream Of Jennie. I think it was because it was on at the same time as a show Dad wanted to watch. We didn't start watching until it was in syndication.
I like both shows equally.
Yes,
Bill Mummy played in Bewitch. His character troubled child orphan. Didn't believe in Santa, Samantha took Darren and Bill to North Pole to meet Santa!!!
God Bless Community!!
The box in the car where Jeannie was invisible looks like a makeshift periscope.
That's my guess as well.
It is very funny since the advent if the HD flat screens, we now can watch all the 60s and 70s TV shows and you can literally pic out all the cheesy F/X that they used back then and also the heavy make up that they put on there actors, back then they did not know we where going to have High Def, TVs so back in the day when watching these shows on a 19 inch Black and of which most families had back then you could not notice the strings and low budget gag's that they used, just watch an eposode of Lost in Space and you can the obvious set back drops that they used with the fade and all the wrinkles in the tarps that where used, it's pretty funny. great video!!
Thank you so much! All those cheesy effects are what made me like those shows to begin with. They were what they had to work with back then and it couldn't be easy at times.
You know the funny thing about Jeannie backing into Roger they show a little bit of her backside and they actually colorize it. You would think they would have made it the same color as the car so you wouldn't notice it.
Good point.
@@justmeiniowa you know with television screens a lot smaller in those days it probably didn't even show. And being in black and white it probably looked like just a flash. It's coloring it and wide screen tv made it show.
@@martinbeneteau309 However, it would still look different if you watch in the proper ratio of 4 : 3 instead of stretched to 'fit' the 16 : 9 HD ratio. I honestly don't understand why people stretch shows and movies to fill the screen. Everything then gets distorted out of normal proportions and it becomes unwatchable.
Haha! Yes, they actually colorized her butt!🤣
The way she was barely dressed, I don't think anyone was noticing the color of the drapes or carpet
Hahaha!!🤣😅
But did the carpet match the drapes.
@MrXminus1 Hopefully there is no carpet, just bare wood floors !
16:39 Notice how there is no fence around the pool.
I am sure that is not up to code.
I never got the impression that Jeannie blinked back in time in the episode "Never Try to Outsmart A Jeannie" but that she inserted herself into the woman's memories, to make her remember clearly. Then she could 'bump' into her and get remembered as the woman who saved her life. Jeannie never left the passport office physically until she was accused of fraud.
That's possible. I just assumed she went back in time but I was more shocked that I had never seen that episode before. Not sure why it was skipped whenever it was shown here.
Loved this show I dream of jeannie it was so funny still watch it today thanks for this video
It's still great after all these years! One of my all time favorite shows! 😁
Loved it that Capt/Maj Nelson drove the GTO's in the shows, and he flew the F104 Starfighter that you'll see in the up coming seasons. It was the same clip used over and over of the jet landing and him climbing down from the aircraft to look as if he was flying it.
I too will be looking forward to seeing the other seasons and other shows we grew up with.👍
Thank you! He had some great cars. It's also fantastic that they were able to film on location at some of the bases and training facilities.
I noticed in G.I. Jeannie, Major Nelson's secretary is referred to as a Corporal. A three stripe WAF in the 1960's should be an Airman First Class.
Very fun video here. No doubt they colorized the bottle purple to match the purple color of the subsequent seasons' bottle (even though the graphic designs on the surfaces are quite different.) Glad they got Billy Mumy's hair color right though.
That's what I was thinking as well. Obviously the people that did the colorization weren't true Jeannie fans!😄
You have done an amazing job finding the mistakes of I Dream of Jeannie. I really enjoyed your video.
Thank you very much! I just uploaded season 2!😁
1955? I could be wrong but I think that I Dream of Jeannie was released in 1965, September 18 1965 to be exact. But what would I know?
A pristine B&W print is so much better than colorized.
Yeah, I think they over saturated a lot of the colors.
I see you have your Luke ROTJ, version 2 saber, by your tv!😆😆😆😁😁😁😝
Hahaha!!!! I keep forgetting to move it! 🤣😅
I have one of the original bottles dark green and a number 4 stamped on the bottom.
I do believe, after the show was canceled, the cast and crew didn’t like the network forcing Jeannie and Tony to marry, so as a middle finger to NBC, they had the set destroyed, as they didn’t like the reworked set for Jeannie and Tony’s marriage. So only the outside of the set was the only surviving prop, until it was destroyed this year.
That's very sad. I think the original Jeannie house burned down in the late 70s from what I read and was rebuilt. So sad the entire Warner Ranch was destroyed. Such history gone forever. 😪
I seen many a Jeannie reruns but these episodes don’t seem to be in any of the reruns. I do remember some of them by watching it back in the day. Thanks for sharing.
Often times certain channels or networks skip the first season because it was in black and white.
Great research on these! I'm currently reading Barbara's autobiography.
It's very interesting! 😁
When I was a kid in the 60s my dad had one of those bottles he used every year to "brew" a batch of homemade Kahlúa in.
They're quite collectible now!
Loved it! Thanks 😊 😊
Upon rewatching season 1, the next 3 episodes to air after episode 1 might seem like there in order, but they’re not. If we the audience are supposed to believe that Tony is still engaged to marry Melissa, then why would Roger want Tony to go on a double date with him, if he knew about Tony and Melissa we’re going to be married? The reason being, My Hero? is out of order in storyline, it should’ve been, Episode 2, Guess What Happened on the Way to the Moon, Episode 3, Jeannie, and the Marriage Caper, then Episode 4, My Hero?
Yeah it's weird how out of order the episodes aired. It happened through the entire series. But it wasn't just this show that did that.
Why was Healy an Engineer? It was a carrier branch for Army aviators before there was an Aviation Branch. People used to wonder if Bill Daily was an Engineer in the Army Reserves. A friend of mine later knew him and it turns out he was an Army vet but had been in Field Artillery in Korea.
Genies before this show were always men making the genie a female was a brilliant idea.
So much of the show was edens sexiness.Also back then we didn't take shows that seriously,different actors would play the same character, the same actor would play different roles, and so on. every show had tons of continuity errors and factual mistakes.
I’ve noticed many discrepancies in these old shows Lol…There So many in this too! I always wondered were that fountain from “ Friends “ was located!
At least they saved the fountain. Unfortunately the entire neighborhood that so many of our favorite shows were filmed was completely destroyed a month ago. 😔
I used to love this show. Back in the 70's I would watch this so much. Always like it better than Bewitched at the time. Shame to see them crash that now classic GTO. I bet a lot of these things that are so obviously now weren't so much back then. Like when you can see the stage floor in the Swiss Alps. Remember back then the TV's picture tubes sere so rounded off that I bet you can see the edge of the screen like these days. Also the clarity back then is certainly not as good on those 19" screens. In Star Trek Space Seed the fight between Kirk and Khan in Engineering is SO obvious the stunt double. It's almost painful how obvious it is now. But not so much back then.
I think the shadow is the boom Mike, it is suspended over the actors & is moved around to follow the actors at they move around.
The 2nd stopper is the Garrett stopper.
You missed a big goof! In the still showing the Bewitched house, there's a mountain clearly visible in the background. Cocoa Beach and Florida, for that matter, have no mountains.
Ooo! Great catch! I didn't think about that! 😅😆
Great commentary on the first season. It's nice to see it in a well colorized version. I don't know which episode it was, but after Tony and Roger were promoted to major, Jeannie referred to Roger as captain Healey erroneously.
Ooo! I missed that one!
@outsider238 Hi, Great videos! I have some questions I wanted to ask about your videos. Do you have an email address where I could email you? Much thanks! Blake
Bellows has Master Aviator Wings AND a Missile Badge AND he is a Doctor?
Jack of all trades that Dr. Bellows!
@@outsider238 Was he good at any of it?
The Bewitched house was also Dr Bellows house and the Donahue house on the Middle.
Yes, I mention that in the video. It's strange how they used that interior set on both shows especially when they were both running at the same time.
I am 61 and have seen nearly every episode of IDof J, and don’t recall EVER seeing a crystal-like stopper on Jeannie’s bottle…It always matched the bottle . Mandela Effect?
I never knew about the crystal stopper either, but then again I never knew about a black and white first season. Back in the 70s the TV stations in my area never aired the first season in syndication and only showed the color episodes. In the mid 90s I saw the first season for the first time on vhs and I was astounded that I had missed out on those episodes growing up.
It was only used in the first season.
@@Nathan-jq1uw A lot of stations didn't air the black and white episodes of older shows because they said they got less viewers. I bet there's a lot of people that don't even know those episodes exist! 😱
@@outsider238 I was actually stunned when I discovered that first season in the 1990s. A whole season's worth of episodes I'd never seen. There are still a bunch I haven't seen yet!
@@Nathan-jq1uw There's a lot of episodes! About 30 per season. I think there's around 139! That's crazy! 🤪
DREAM FROM MINECRAFT
Maureen McCormick also did an episode of Bewitched
That's right! I forgot about that!
Did you know that before Billy Mumy starred in "Lost in Space", he appeared in an episode of "The Twilight Zone ", an episode called "It's a good life "; one of the scariest episodes they ever made.
Yes I did. They remade that episode on the Twilight Zone movie years later.
He also appeared in the TZ episode “In Praise of Pip.”
@@Agent-xn1hr It's amazing just how much he did as a child and the mile long list of incredible big names he worked with. He was a very good child actor though.
You should read the original short story by Jerome Bixby. It's even creepier.
Tony Nelson had the greatest cars.
bernard fox was also Malcolm Merriweather in the andy Griffith show.
and Colonel Crittenden in Hogans Heroes
And he was in two Titanic movies!
Nelson and Healy were Captains in the first season, not Majors!!
It was Jeannie's passport not driver's license
You are mostly correct about the self-driving car, the stunt person who was driving was on the floor of the car, using the "box" as you call it as a periscope to see what was ahead of him. It's shown in a couple POV shot to be a Kleenex box sitting on the dash, something common for that time. The stunt driver steers the car (which has a manual steering wheel, no power steering back then) with his hands down low, and uses his foot to accelerate and break. It's an oddly dangerous stunt for Hagman to be involved with. Plus twice during this scene they run the film backwards and Hagman can be seen running backwards.
Very cool! It was pretty innovative for the time and yes, I'm surprised they let Larry do the scene. They went to a lot of trouble to do that scene!
"Plus twice during this scene they run the film backwards and Hagman can be seen running backwards."
As well as the people walking on the sidewalk.
@@im1who84u Yeah I'm not sure why they used that effect. I guess to add to the humor or even to eat up some time if the episode was running short.
I love the GTO especially the 66/67 thought it was great being used in the show.
@@kennyspaulding796 Major Nelson had some nice cars!
With regards to Dr. Bellows forgetting about Jeannie each time, it was established in the episode "My Hero" that Jeannie can make humans forget any event or person. She did that when Tony was stuck in the floor. She blinked Roger 'frozen' (presumably in time, and not temperature) and told Tony that "he would remember nothing of this". And, after she blinked out, he didn't.
So, I consider that an established fact about her powers, which can carry over into all subsequent episodes.
Also, that episode is likely out of order and really should have been episode #4 because not only is there never any mention of Melissa (Stone, the daughter of the general), but Roger is also getting Tony a date for that evening. That never would have happened if he was still engaged to Melissa.
That makes sense but they probably should reiterated that for the viewers especially since the show was weekly back then and the audience wouldn't remember. I think more than anything it was due to the fact that there was probably different writers who may not have known what other writers did in past episodes.
@@outsider238 Yes, the problem with the show (and all others of the time period) was that they didn't have a "show bible". That's the world-building guide to a show, including all of the facts about each character. Writers have to read it and abide by its rules to write for a show like that today. Otherwise, you get all of the inconsistencies we have to deal with in Jeannie (and "fix" in fanfic).
@@Jinnitaur I discuss the Dr. Bellows and visible in pictures inconsistencies in the season 3 video coming soon.
That's possible, but it would be odd for Jeannie to keep doing that without it being written in the script that way. In Season 2, the 2nd time Dr. Bellows "meets" Jeannie (she was working for General Peterson trying to get Tony promoted) Dr. Bellows does recognize Jeannie as the woman who Tony was engaged to. Tony denied it of course.
@@phillipk.brodie9662 I don't see why it would have to be written into the script when it's been established that is something she can do, and of which Tony approves. Why wouldn't he want her to keep doing it? It keeps him out of trouble, which is what he wants from her most of the time anyway. I accept it as a "precedent" which has been set and put into the minds of the audience. If you keep writing it into the script, they get tired of the trope. People can just imagine that's what she does without needing yet another instance or explanation of her doing that written into additional episodes.
The Monkees also used this location a lot. Especially the fountain.
That makes sense. That was another Screen Gems show.
CAPT Nelson at the time, right?
Yes, I kept mistakenly calling him Major!😧
Major Healy was in a different branch of the military. Just like the original astronauts.
I never knew Cocoa Beach was so mountainous.
I think I know the reason for the bottle Stopper Switch !!!!!!! AS U know the bottle doesn't fly around under Magic Power, so A clear line is attached to the bottle.. using the Stopper..I bet one stopper is used Only for the Floating scenes and the other for all the other scenes. Maybe a Hole was drilled into it. Somehow the clear line is attached to the stopper.
Yes I'm guessing a bigger stopper was needed to attach the invisible wire. I also think the film was ran in reverse because of the way the bottle starts revolving on the table before it rises into the air.
It’s not clear line. They had to use black line bc clear would reflect the stage lights and would have been more obvious in b&w
These are truly interesting. Reading the comment below I have to agree with Wil. But then it becomes Eva Gabor or Barbara Eden. The Characters they created were every man's dream. To me, they exhibit what the Bible meant by "helpmeet".
As to the uniform, this was an accurate depiction. All the services had a khaki-colored uniform at the time in addition to their ‘regular’ colored uniform. The Air Force wore their blue hat and the Army wore their green hat (I am guessing this was done to distinguish between the services as the Army & Air Force uniforms were very close to each other in design). I believe the blue intensity or brightness is a colorization mistake. Also, both Healy & Nelson are Captains (one rank below Major) at the start of the series. Another colorization mistake is that Captain Healy’s rank insignia were often colored gold when they are in fact silver. This is probably a result of the rest of the insignia and his coat buttons being gold, which is accurate.
Very interesting! I figured it had to be accurate. I think we only ever saw them in those uniforms a couple of times early on.
While the Air Force did have a kaki uniform it never was a dress one but rather a more casual one without a dress coat or what was called a blouse. The uniforms that have been colorized as kaki should have been blue.
The Air Force had a Khaki "Class B" type uniform earlier on, you can see it in James Stewart's Strategic Air Command (1956). I'm not sure it was worn that late.
The USAF tropical worsted uniform was cut a little differently than the Army version, the collar differed as did the shade of Khaki..
Someone may have already stated it, but Healy was in the Army, hence the green uniform.I believe he was in the Engineer Corps.
@@mac1766 He was. Bill Daily was an Army (Field Artillery in Korea) vet but was not an Army Reserve guy who asked to wear his uniform on the show as some have speculated.
Mellisa was her name
30:30 The tree is just on a rollerboard and the rope is to just pull it along on it's wheels. It's really bright because they couldn't or forgot to filter out the lights and the white rollerboard just casts it back. I think they just didn't have time to dress it properly or maybe a re-shoot, etc.
I think you're right. I never noticed it for the longest time. I love when we get to see things like this.
Melissa was his girlfriend in the first episodes
👍
20:00 why didnt Eden just get into the car from the passenger side???
I'm not sure. I'm guessing it would have taken too long for her to get in and then slide over to the driver's side. The whole thing happens really fast.
i love the one where jeannie made everyday sunday that was funny .
two big goofs on the beach
tony wishes jeannie could Speak English and she does but how can she know what tony says if she doesnt understand English??
tony asks for a helicopter and for a jeannie thats been in a bottle for 2000 year its strange she knows what a helicopter is.
Ah! Those are both really good ones!! They didn't occur to me but now that you mentioned it, you're totally right about those! Good catch!
04:12 did you mention the bottle being different from the one shown on the beach?
the beach one looked longer and thinner at the base. could be a perspective issue too.
Yeah it's because the DVDs had to stretch the picture in order to fit today's large screen TVs. So in certain scenes a lot of things look out of proportion.
bill moomey really man... MUMMY!
*Mumy* , actually.
It's pronounce "Moomy" and he doesn't like it when people pronounce it any other way.
They all look like Trump.
