Fun video. They certainly liked to change up Tony's living room a lot. My favorite was the wood paneling version with all the art prints on the wall. It looked very masculine and seemed to be the type of decor Tony would have.
Sorry for the late response. I agree! The artwork was far better than what we saw in season 1. Especially the lady with the pirate hat in Tony's bedroom! Haha!
The little genie bottle charm (time marker 11:20) could be made from a finial for a table lamp: The decorative, often brass, cap that screws into the top of the harp.
My Favourite scene is in the mod party episode where Jeannie blinks the outfit off the manaquin. The manaquins is left in her underwear her arms are strategically placed to cover her upper and lower parts. The look on the snooty sales assistant is also hilarious.
One bit of trivia I just learned was that the Wild West episode was actually shot during season one - in color - and they didn’t air it until season two. She was notably wearing her new pink season two harem outfit, instead of the green one she wore for the B&W season. I’m not sure why, but I’m guessing it was a test to show how the series would look in color (???)
Thanks again for another interesting installment of your series. I didn't know Larry Hagman could be so difficult, but I believe he just wasn't happy with his life and his place as secondary to the Jeannie character. Wasn't this the season where Jeannie altered Tony's voice to make him sound like Mickey Mouse as Carol Wayne put it?
Haha! That Carol Wayne episode is in season 3. I'll be releasing that video tomorrow. His voice was hilarious in that episode. Yeah it's sad that Larry was so difficult on the show. I can't imagine how tense it was sometimes working on the show with him.
Dr. Bellows 😆 there he goes again. It's funny how you've watched TV shows all your life and you immediately recognize the interior or exterior location, just like being at your neighbor or best friends house that you grew up with. I did notice at 31:37, and I'm surprised you didn't mention, the shadow of I think was a camera above Maj Nelson and Maj Healy.
When they reran these on TV from the 1970s on, they always skipped Season 1, since it was in black and white. I had never seen it until it came out on DVD. I would watch it after school in the late 1970s and early 1980s and they always started at Season 2.
I remember that. I heard it was because the black and white episodes didn't get good ratings in syndication so they'd skip them and only show the color episodes.
I remember one episode where tony said something like I want a rolls Royce but I cant afford one and Jeannie blinks one up, imagine how long poor Larry Hagman had to hold still while they moved out the furniture and rolled in an actual rolls Royce.
@@lorimidwife I forgot about that line.I can imagine how much fun it was to push that very heavy car, they might have driven it but considering how much pollution cars back then created it might not have been healthy to run it indoors.
Note, Season 2 theme differed from seasons 3-5 it’s has a different musical tone, here’s a link to a video which restores the original intro ruclips.net/video/u78MWaCSsMM/видео.html. (Also, because it’s a reused theme from season 3, they just used the actual intro as well, and the year in the title is 1967, for a 1966 season, it would actually stay for season 4, and 5, so it’s odd that Sony kept the season 3 intro). Now to the mistakes, in My Master, the Rich Tycoon (Season 2 Episode 3), Dr. Bellows mentioned that, 3 weeks ago, Tony’s bank account had 3 million dollars in his Christmas fund account, then mentioned how it was snowing on him and Tony’s house, and then Tony mentioned in How to Be a Genie in 10 Easy Lessons (Season 2 Episode 8) how he and Jeannie fought Captain Kidd, yet those episodes had not aired at the time they were mentioned, surprised no one noticed this and either re-wrote any dialogue or aired those episodes before they were mentioned in those episodes. Here’s how I would air those episodes and how I watch them, the first 10 episodes. Season 2 Episode 1 Happy Anniversary Season 2 Episode 2 Jeannie Breaks the Bank Season 2 Episode 3 My Master, the Rainmaker Season 2 Episode 4 Fastest Gun in the East Season 2 Episode 5 My Master, the Rich Tycoon Season 2 Episode 6 My Wild-Eyed Master Season 2 Episode 7 Always on Sunday Season 2 Episode 8 What’s New, Poodle Dog?

That was very interesting! I vaguely remember that version of the theme song. I'd forgotten about it since I haven't heard it in decades. Yes I found the out of order broadcasts of the episodes frustrating sometimes when past ones were mentioned in the episodes that were supposed to air afterwards. That was a very good organization of the episodes you did!
My favorite bit from that scene is when the woman is berating the little boy in the museum by saying, "Do you want to be ignorant, LIKE YOUR FATHER?" and Jeannie turns her into a goose. Still cracks me up after all these years!
It might be the way it was rendered on DVD. The picture is stretched out to fill out our wide screen TVs of today. versus the square screens from back in the day.
I bet you're right! It has the same looking consistency as Silly Putty. I was trying to see if you could see the shadow of the person switching out the gum on the back wall but I couldn't.
The reason that the Jeannie birthday side story went on for four episodes is because there was a contest going for the fans to guess what her birthday was going to be. I got the feeling, are the time, that the creators of the show did not know which date that it should be and they were fishing for the best date. It seems to me that the creators of Bewitched did a fan involvement thing around that time too.
I was looking closely at the lines of her face, her profile, straight on shot, even looking slightly away from the camera. Barbara Eden had a face that looked great from any angle. Add to that her innocent and enthusiastic over-the-top desire to please, what's not to like?
There's a street in Cocoa Beach, Florida named after the show, because I believe in the show, the setting where they are based is Kennedy Space Center, which is in nearby Merritt Island, FL.
I seem to remember that there was a Jeannie bottle in Captain Kirk's Quarters on Star Trek. I thought I remember someone saying that Barbara Eden gave it to them to use. I could be wrong but I remember something like that.
It was on that Star Trek series on RUclips. Star Trek Returns or something like that. The guy that played Captain Kirk was given that to him. Not sure if it was Barbara Eden. It might have been. He loved that show and wanted it in Kirk's quarters. It's very cool! 😁
Did you notice that on Season 2, Episode 30, the lollipop kept changing? And in many of the episodes, there would be a trellis outside, but when they would open the front door, sometimes the trellis would be there and other times it would be gone? Jeannie magic! LOL!
it's unrelated, but my first memory of noticing a blooper was as a kid watching Barney Miller. a suspect in custody got a gun when they cuffed him. only one hand was cuffed with the other ended just dangling open. during the scene the cuff not locked on his wrist would appear fully open in one camera angle and when the angle switched the cuff would be closed. cut away and it's open again. I think it switched 3 times. I never really paid attention to "continuity" in shows until that point. then I'd get lucky with the occasional tv specials back when there was only 3 networks. there'd be an occasional special on bloopers. to be honest my memory of the barney Miller goof could've been from one of the specials. though I did actually watch Barney Miller with my parents. anyway, these are always fun.
Fastest Gun in the West (Season 2 Episode 7) and Jeannie Breaks the Bank (Season 2 Episode 15) were filmed literally after Season 1 wrapped production. So if you notice, it's the same set seen in Season 1 (not the whole Season obviously, from Episodes 2-30, the pilot doesn't count, because it was just filmed as a pilot as there is no assumption that the show is going to be picked up), so the upstairs and downstairs look actually the same, as both were filmed as a test to see how good the color would look like later on. Notices: We'll in every TV show that I own on DVD, (that is on film and remastered), I can guarantee you, TVs did not look crystal clear in the 1960s, unrealistic. Now, if you notice in Jeannie Breaks the Bank, when Tony and Jeannie arrive to the Bank, the worker at the bank is dealing with a woman that is wanting money for a sewing machine, but after she says that she has no collateral, after he takes his pen away, you can notice his lips saying "You have nothing?" If you can listen to the sound, it fads out and fads in after he says it. My guess is, when remastering the print, the sound was too destroyed beyond repair, and they just muted his dialogue.
Very interesting! I did notice that he said something there but I just figured they edited it out for some reason. You have some interesting knowledge of the show!
Did the piano that was in Tony's house, come with the house? Tony told Gen Peterson that he doesn't play the piano when Peterson asked him to play "the song he wrote" ON THE PIANO.
@@outsider238 its a slowed-down recording of a mouth harp(jews harp), I know because bought one a long time ago and recorded myself, slowed the playback down and you get that sound.
I’ve always loved this show and your video really shows how much effort the producers put in to make Jeannie’s magic believable.
I agree! Since I've been going through these episodes again, it's really made me appreciate all the work that went into this show.
Fun video. They certainly liked to change up Tony's living room a lot. My favorite was the wood paneling version with all the art prints on the wall. It looked very masculine and seemed to be the type of decor Tony would have.

You did a great job! Thank you so much, love the show and you earned a new follower ❤

The little genie bottle charm (time marker 11:20) could be made from a finial for a table lamp: The decorative, often brass, cap that screws into the top of the harp.
I was thinking the same thing. Or possibly a shade pull handle. I love that!
Thanks for doing these.
We find them interesting and fun to watch
Thank you! I'm happy that you're enjoying them! 😁
Now I need to rewatch these episodes to see all of these moments. 🙂
Love the plastic yellow hand on the stick pointer
Told Jeannie that he only goes skiing on his vacation, but when Jeannie blinked him to a ski jump, Jeannie told Roger, that he doesn't ski.
Oops! Seems like there's a lot of inconsistencies when it came to the writing on the show.
You can really see the wig mismatch in that freeze frame too (where he gives her the Jeannie bottle pendant). She had a huge beehive hairpiece on.
Wow! Yes it's very obvious! I didn't notice that. Excellent catch! 😄
I always wanted to go into that bottle with her
We all did! 😄
I’d NEVER come out!!
NASA and religion within lol
My Favourite scene is in the mod party episode where Jeannie blinks the outfit off the manaquin. The manaquins is left in her underwear her arms are strategically placed to cover her upper and lower parts. The look on the snooty sales assistant is also hilarious.
Hahaha!!! Yeah I love that part! Without the patches! 🤣😅😂

20:03 Nelson is out-of-uniform as the "U.S." insignia is missing from his lapels. and again at 20:58.
Ooo! Good catch! I didn't notice that!

I can't imagine! He said when Jeannie blinked and changed her clothes, he'd have to stay in place for a really long time!
"It clashes with the couch, but I like it", Major Healy.

In the author episode, jeannie and Tony are in an art museum and announces “that’s an original Ansara” (her real married name)
Yes! And I totally forgot to include that. I was going to add it in and forgot after I already edited the video.
My favorite bit from that scene is when the woman is berating the little boy in the museum by saying, "Do you want to be ignorant, LIKE YOUR FATHER?" and Jeannie turns her into a goose. Still cracks me up after all these years!
The bottle seems shorter and fatter here than later…
It might be the way it was rendered on DVD. The picture is stretched out to fill out our wide screen TVs of today. versus the square screens from back in the day.
Butch Patrick with the "spitty gum". My guess for the gum in hand would be silly putty. It looks like that to me.
I bet you're right! It has the same looking consistency as Silly Putty. I was trying to see if you could see the shadow of the person switching out the gum on the back wall but I couldn't.
@@outsider238 I didn't see it either.
I was going to say it looks a lot like silly putty.

It seems to me that the creators of Bewitched did a fan involvement thing around that time too.
I know they did a contest for the Jeannie in the safe episodes. That would explain the long birthday story!
Barbara Eden is gorgeous... I put her up there in looks with another blonde bombshell - Grace Kelly.
I was looking closely at the lines of her face, her profile, straight on shot, even looking slightly away from the camera. Barbara Eden had a face that looked great from any angle. Add to that her innocent and enthusiastic over-the-top desire to please, what's not to like?
I believe the show is how they first met.
There's a street in Cocoa Beach, Florida named after the show, because I believe in the show, the setting where they are based is Kennedy Space Center, which is in nearby Merritt Island, FL.
That's so cool! 😁😄
Roger comes over to pick up Tony to go play golf. But in season 1, Tony told Gen Peterson that he doesn't play golf.
Aha! Interesting. Well, I guess he had a year to learn if he decided he wanted to play.
wasnt michal ansara on buck rodgers .in 1979 series
Yes he was!
I seem to remember that there was a Jeannie bottle in Captain Kirk's Quarters on Star Trek. I thought I remember someone saying that Barbara Eden gave it to them to use. I could be wrong but I remember something like that.

It's fun seeing things on shows or movies like that because it just shows that even the professionals in TV and movie making can make mistakes too!
Groucho Marx was awesome. 😆😁
And Jeannie was just all over him! I wouldn't be surprised if Barbara was a Groucho fan, and it shows.
Fastest Gun in the West (Season 2 Episode 7) and Jeannie Breaks the Bank (Season 2 Episode 15) were filmed literally after Season 1 wrapped production.

Did the piano that was in Tony's house, come with the house? Tony told Gen Peterson that he doesn't play the piano when Peterson asked him to play "the song he wrote" ON THE PIANO.
I never understood why there was that piano there but never in any other episode.
24.27 another continuity error, the cup is nowhere near a wall but in the close up it is in front of one.
You're absolutely correct! 😁😄
Really cool. I just ordered the book. 👍👍
You'll enjoy it. I do wish she would have talked more about the Jeannie days.
Have you ever watched Dark Shadows show? I love the show but talk about your bloopers they had a great deal of them.
Really? Haha! I never watched it but I bet the bloopers are great! 😁
Why did Jeannie transform Roger into Groucho Marx? I fforget that episode.
He wished he was the funniest person in the world. 😁
I wonder how they made the “blinking sound fix”???
I'm thinking it was a mouth harp but I'm really not sure. I'd love to know as well!
@@outsider238 its a slowed-down recording of a mouth harp(jews harp), I know because bought one a long time ago and recorded myself, slowed the playback down and you get that sound.
@@hifijohn Very cool! I didn't think about it being slowed down. I remember hearing a variation of it on Hanna Barbera cartoons.
@@outsider238 it was a long time ago but I think I slowed it down to half speed.if you play as is its just a short twang sound.
@@hifijohn It's a great sound effect!
Oh, they had a son together.
Yes, he was Mathew Ansara who sadly passed away too soon. 😞
The ads on RUclips have become obnoxiously loud.
by the end of the series and the made for TV movie(s) who actually ended up knowing her secret?
I think no one else but Major Nelson, Healey and Jeannie's son from the movie as far as I know.
