I Dream of Jeannie - Rare 2nd Season Theme Music
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- I Dream of Jeannie's 2nd season opening credits originally aired with a different version of the theme song... which most likely hasn't been used on air in the U.S. since its original broadcasts on NBC in 1966/1967. In reruns and on DVD, season 2 airs using the season 3 opening theme song - which sounds similar but uses different instruments. Here, I've worked to remaster the original season 2 opening theme back to broadcast quality - along with a few other rare gems no longer used on air today. Enjoy!
At the very end are the three chimes of NBC. The notes of those chimes are G, E, and C. This meant General Electric Corporation, which owned NBC at the time.
I loved this animation as a little kid; those eyes at the base of the bottle -so mysterious, so exotic, so feminine.
👀
I always loved the animated theme music 🎵 video and the Blinking eyes 👀 after she is sucked up into the bottle
I remember as a child I loved the animation and when she disappeared back into the bottle. I loved the blinking eyes 👀 inside the bottle
As a 5 yr old, I hid behind the couch when the camera zoomed up close to that bottle with the giant blinking eyes. It grew on me as I got older tho.
I Dream of Jeannie is the first sitcom I ever watched as a child growing up and was mesmerized by it. I remember sitting in my little rocking chair waiting for the show to come on. This is the original theme song that was played on the 2nd season of the show. Thank you for posting this, lots of memories for me!
I must have heard this hundreds of times over the year. I still would watch the show when they air it. Love "JEANNIE" Amanda Bellows was great, too! They all were!
This is great! Occasionally I'll hear the S2 end theme in reruns. This version was much lighter, with nice strings, that the deeper theme drowned out. I don't think I've ever heard the S2 opening outside of YT. It's better as well, IMO.
OMG This is how I remembered season 2 intro but I had only heard it in my head for years. I knew that when I got the dvd's that something was wrong but couldn't put my finger on it. I also notice they used the same opening in most of the shows opening sequences in the collection and that there is a very brief jump or skip in the audio track that i noticed and makes me crazy every time I hear it. I always think why would they pick one opening to use for all of the season 2-5 shows on the discs and use the the track that has a skip in it! Anyway awesome job, thanks for sharing this!
I know, right? I have only season 1 DVD so far (seeing it for only $7 in a store, who can resist?), but I hope to change that (altho that of course will make me have to go to Amazon, and charge me at least $60, versus the 7 I paid for season 1). Good to know that they fudged the production for season 2! ROLLING MY NAKED EYES! Sneaky!
Finally, a RUclipsr who knows his stuff about TV themes.
This theme is the correct original version I grew up with in the early seventies. I dont know why they remastered this version out. They must edit this version back in.
Here in Germany, I loved the series too, as an child in the 70ths. When I used to live in Boston, Ph.D., and used to be at the dame a semi proffessonal belly dancer, I made the fun, bought the Jeanie costume and the music and petformed to this in public at Halloween, maybe 2005
I remember this very well, recorded it on reel to reel tape back in 1972. When I watched Jeannie in syndication after leaving NBC in 1970, Screen Gems syndicated prints included this particular theme version. It wasn't till the show was remastered in the mid or early 80s that those old syndicated prints (with this theme) were pulled, and season 3 theme song was heard going forward.
Wandavision, wa-wandavision Wandavision, wa-wandavision
WANDAVISION!
I can see where some of the second intros inspiration came from
This is the correct version. I remember most of the reruns in the seventies used this version.
I only remember this from the closing credits.. I have it on audio since did think of asking a friend to video tape it or me in the 1980's
Yet, all of the copyright dates shown is MCMLXVI. I want to know WHY!
@@Rlotpir1972 At least they could have changed the season 3 opening to say MCMLXVII (1967), since Sidney Sheldon's "Created by" credit was restored.
This is the same season they augmented Jeannie’s blink and other magic with extra “plinks” that were also heard on the first season of Bewitched
Esa serie desde que la vi por primera vez capto toda mi atencion desde que era niña (Naci en 1964); por tan solo el hecho de que la produccion de la serie cuido mucho todos los detalles y asi poder hacer una serie humoristica y de clasificacion ("A"). Pues en esa epoca las familias eramos numersas y siempre habia niños. La serie me atrapo pues me gusta mucho como hicieron la intrduccion en caricatura y eso es bonito y atractivo para los niños. En la caricatura se ve a Tony que esta perdido como en una Isla pidiendo auxilio y de pronto se encuentra a Jenny y se enamora de ella y ella es quien finalmente lo ayuda y rescata; ademas del arreglo musical tan bonito, alegre y elegante, esta muy bien realizado con musica de Orquesta, suena genial que no me canso de escuchar la melodia y me pone muy alegre pues esa es mi naturaleza que aunque no quiera me pone hasta bailar a veces de alegria, claro sin perder la cordura. Muchas gracias por el video y la musica.
Worth it just for the Screen Gems and NBC bong BONG Bonggggg at the end alone. :D
Fun fact: The musical notes of the NBC bong bong bongggg were G, E, and C. This meant General Electric Corporation, which owned NBC at the time.
Excellent job!!!!! Wow! So cool!! This is remarkable. Thank you for sharing the "lost" version. It's so clean. :-)
👍
I like this version, but I like the first season solo intro better with Jeannie and the bottle by itself when it was in black and white.
why wasn't the "will be right back" in the dvds? but it was in a few of VHS?
I was just watching I Dream of Jeannie Season 5 (Least Favorite Season) Episode 10 - Uncles a Go-Go. At the end of the credits and after the Screen Gems spot, it showed the NBC logo along with the music (in which NBC ripped off The Three Stooges). Also, that ending is only seen in the Mill Creek DVD Versions. Also, Also, only episode in that set that shows that. Just thought I'd say that. Pretty Cool that it showed that.
Better known as season 2 closing theme. I like that ‘Will Be Right Back’ bumper. Surprised TBS or WGN never used that in their IDOJ showings back in the 80s. When reruns of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ were shown On WGN back in the early 80s, they used the ‘Charlie’s Angels Will Return in a Moment’ bumper that ABC used. Can’t remember any other show in syndication that has used it.
The Brady Bunch had the “we’ll return in a moment” bumpers included during the first syndication cycle in the 70s (along with the pre-credits, IN COLOR bumpers). They were removed during the second syndication cycle in the 80s.
The Brady Bunch did that when they were in first run syndication beginning in
Originally the Reruns of the Brady Bunch included those will return in a moment bumpers
@@Jh49er it would be great if the ‘return bumpers’ were included on the DVDs too
California Chazz .... KUDOS...... Excellent.....This is how I remembered the theme song on Reruns in the early 70's ...... But I have one question why does the studios try and Change the Theme song for sitcoms??????
Interesting... didn't even remember a difference between 2nd Season and later. But I've always liked the original 1st Season theme best, anyways. Very early-mid Sixties.
In syndication since the 1980s, you can still tell which season it really is in the closing credits... you'll also see Sidney Sheldon's name come up.
Closing credits:
1966-67: Sidney Sheldon credit at beginning, original season 1 opening theme
1967-68: uses season 2 opening theme
1968-69 and 1969-70: different version of closing theme with bass guitar!
Amazing they did NOT include commercial slate break on the dvd's but it IS on a few of the VHS versions. Cheap bastards
This is the one I remember growing up with the reruns!
When the show first ran in syndication in the early 70's, the episodes all had the original opening credits and theme music. So, when the episode began, one could tell the season by the music. Later, they replaced the credits and theme with the 5th season. Why? Who knows.
Third season titles were used in season two syndicated prints by the mid-1970's.
Van Alexander arranged everything back in the 60's.
Early syndicated prints (on 16mm or 35mm Fujicolor stock) still had the original version of the theme - I want to think the change to the season 3 theme occurred after the transition from film to videotape in the mid 1980s, when syndication was licensed (briefly) to The (DFS) Program Exchange.
I remember that after the show changed stations during syndication the new station aired prints that were licensed to (DFS) Program Exchange. which was on channeled 66 in Joliet Chicago. Before that it had been on WGN in Chicago. 66 dud not have it for very long and was on Fox 32 WFLD in Chicago 66 had the logo , but cut off after the beginning, and later cut it off entirely and later WFLD, So, If I ahd not seen the first episode on 66 I would not have known that. I have the show on audio for both logos. I saw that Bewitched had that log too when it came back to WGN . It had changed to WPWR Power 50 later UPN , My 50 Chicago and CW, but had it cut off.
@@williamstebbins7294 There were also a few season 1 episodes, those that have the live-action footage and narrative (by Paul Frees), using the 1967 version (season 3) theme song.
Wow, this is amazing! Thanks for the work! I'm a big Jeannie fan.
✊
This is incredible! Nicely done!
I notice a lot of theme songs never make it into either syndication of onto the DVD/Blu-ray discs.
Rhoda: Season 3 had a different theme song arrangement in the first season 3 episode (The Return Of Ida) only.
The Bob Newhart Show had a very unpolished and slightly different theme in the episode PILOT.
Mork & Mindy Season 2 had a shorter version of the "disco" theme as an alternate.
All of these theme songs are sadly absent in syndication and DVD'Blu-ray releases.
I loved this show.
💯
There were actually words written for the song too. It's on youtube somewhere.
Thanx for this. I hate when little details of a show get arbitrarily dumped in syndication.
Thanks for posting this!!
I love it!
Barbara Eden had to tell Sidney Sheldon she was pregnant while filming seaon one. Filming was completed well before the show premiered.
From Season 2, Episode 10: Part I of "The Girl Who Never Had A Birthday"
Thanks for uploading. This video begins with what sounds like break bumper or break slate music. Then at 0:53 there's a "commercial break slate" with different music. Was the first one break bumper music or something else? And if break bumper music, was it from a different season or were there several used in season 2?
it's weird how syndication packages used to strip out alternate theme songs.. for what reason? uniformity? at least with Garfield and Friends, they picked the BEST theme song and used it for every episode, but... the dragside is they weren't able to splice in all the original snarky bits that came at the end.
I'm.. Like.. Wowza!
😯
This is the original version. It's got those cool clicky bits to it...
I saw this version with my very own naked eyes! Not sure I heard this music version tho, I was just a little kid
Hi California Chazz!
Thank you very much for sharing this special, rarely seen (And heard!) season 2 opening as it would have originally been presented!
I wonder whether the recent Mill Creek DVD release of this series includes all of the original season openings and closings, corresponding to their proper seasons?
CHEERS!

Furthermore, recent syndicated airings of an episode from this particular season, "The Greatest Entertainer in the World" (featuring Sammy Davis, Jr.) substituted the season 4 closing music for the original.
The original syndicated film prints (pre-1984) used the correct closing theme for that episode.
ARE YOU KIDDING? They used whatever "master prints" Sony Pictures Television gave them- and they were from "syndicated prints", which used season three's opening title for the season two episodes. Even the "Will Be Right Back" bumpers weren't included in most syndicated editions of the episodes.....
+Barry I. Grauman
I need to point out there were other S2 (and possibly also some S3) episodes with the S4 closing theme post-1983:
* My Master, Napoleon's Buddy
* The Birds and Bees Bit
Here in Brazil, until the last time I saw these episodes ON TV in 2006, all episodes of season 2 had the correct ending theme. However ON DVD those episodes mentioned by you guys had the season 4 theme..
The background beat in this always reminds me of Ethel Ennis's version of the song "Joey Joey Joey"! Here on RUclips!
This, Bewitched & Full House (the original one) is what I grew up on.
How old was Barbara Eden when she made this shows?
Born August 23, 1931 (not 1934 as many sources state), she was 33 when the first episodes were shot in December 1964, and by the time the last episode was shot in early 1970, she was 38.
She looked so amazing!🥰
Larry Hagman (September 21, 1931 in Fort Worth, Texas - November 23, 2012 in Dallas, Texas).
can anyone who remembers the early 70s wpix ny used to show I dream of Jeannie early in the morning I remember watching the 1st season episodes theme song was from the color theme music but changed it to black and white who else remembers this I know I am not crazy
You aren't crazy! When I watched the first season episodes locally back in the 80s, they had put the 1967 season 3 theme and opening animation on there, but it was transferred to back and white. Not sure why they had to have 2 openings as they ended up cutting a few minutes out of the episodes here and there and might have been able to have kept them intact if they did have both openings , especially since one didn't belong.
This is minus the Major Nelson leitmotiv music. Indeed interesting although I like that them as well. It was slowed down and used for many of the comic moments during the show.
winner winner every dinner
0:51 Beat of a different drum when her eye's blinked in the bottle.
Wow, this is pretty cool.
🆒
Don Kirshner would later produce rock co certs, and presented them on his tv shows.
Um tom de voz diferente a gente sabe 🎻🎻🎻🎻 principalmente de quem amamos
I definitely like this arrangement of "Mischief" better.
Without the strings.
"Themes Like Old Times".
The ones listing Don Kirshner as the Music Consultant were the best.
This version sounds like a typical Van Alexander 'sound alike'. He did that often lik e he did with Warren Barker's "Bewitched". Van added the 'bounce' that didn't last but a season ( I think 3 or something)...
I'm still here
dem bongos tho
No trombone counter melody in this version, sounds tinny sounding . No wonder why they never used it again!
the best is a Screen gems

someone needs to remake this show.
But -sadly- considering today's "sensibilities", I don't see how it could ever be the same kind of show - and it really pains me to have to say that. 🙁😢 Thanks !
Why..don't mess with good....
The girl is cute
Ba as jeannie
The only difference between the music for the second and third seasons is that the third season music was remastered for stereo, but, other than that, the theme music and instruments used are pretty much identical between the two seasons.
To me there's a huge difference between seasons 2 and 3 music. Season 2 starts with strings playing pizzicato and muted horns..the effect is a kind of subtle sound. I could see the musical director saying "Nice, but it doesn't grab you..." Season 3 starts with unmuted horns barking away (replacing the plucky strings) that call your attention much faster! Also, the trombone in the background of Season 3's theme is mixed much louder, which is awesome because it's a great part he has. Instrumentation changes everything! Season 3 also lost the jazzier drum part, unfortunately.
Wrong. You can hear many differences. The drums are different. The main melody has different instrumentation. The main difference is he sub-melody of strong horns is completely absent in the second repeat of the main melody and at the very end of the theme. The season three version if much fuller.
*_"The ONLY difference"... "pretty much identical"_* .. ROLLING MY NAKED EYES & LAUGHING AT YOU!
Well, my ears hear a lot of difference. This version is much better than the other. This version has more subtletly.
Doooo, doooo, dodododo, riiiiinnnggg, rrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg
lame this is not the original theme song.
The original color theme.
HUN / GER/ ENG
HUN: - Anno a német SAT.1 ezzel a zenével „németesítette” a Jeannie főcímét az első 3 évadnak az 1990-es években. Kissé fakó volt az, nem is animálták túl, se nem volt igazán látványos, de mi úgy szerettük meg a Jeannie-t! 😊😊😊
És ez a Barbara Eden-Larry Hagman duó a korszak egyik legnagyobb pársztárja volt. (Azt hiszem egyértelmű, hogy miért… 😊🥰🤗
GER: - In SAT.1 war für die ersten 3 Saison das das Titekmusik damals. Auch war die Animation anders. SAT.1 hat es "verdeutschert". Nicht so farbig, nicht so animiert, nur grundsätzlich. 🙄
Aber damit haben wir im 1990-er Jahren die Bezaubernde Jeannie verkannt und liebengelernt. 😊😊😊 Barbara Eden & Larry Hagman, eine Paar die besten Stars! 😊🥰🤗
EN: - The German TV called "SAT.1" made a different animation with this music for the first 3 Seasons in the 1990's. Not so colorful, not too animated, but we loved it either! 😊😊😊
And this duo with Barbara Eden & Larry Hangman are two of the best Stars! 😊🥰🤗
