The Show of "I Dream of Jeannie"
By Greg Culver
Most of us have grown up watching the
shows of “I Dream of Jeannie” and for many of us it was
our favorite show. When we were children we used to be
least concerned about the complications and details of
the show. Most of us didn’t know about the issues,
concerns and time taken on the subject matter and
scenarios to make this show.
The costume of the show “I Dream of Jeannie” was the
main topic for discussion, attention, and even
controversy those days. Customers felt so revealing
about the costume that left open to viewers the sight of
Barbara Eden’s navel. Then the next costume that
appeared for a long time was the pink harem outfit.
After this pink outfit came the green costume worn by
the Jeannie and was used as the costume of her evil twin
in later episodes of the “I Dream of Jeannie”. The
costume of the “I Dream of Jeannie” is displayed at the
Smithsonian Institute under glass as it had marked the
past with its iconography.
The show “I Dream of Jeannie” was much more
futuristic than ever dreamed of. The Jeannie in the show
was behaving in a servile or demeaning manner and
fawning for her right. In the real world the housewives
were yanking off their aprons and working women were
protesting against system in which men have authority
over women and children. This show led the old
traditions to the edge of the alternative world where
women were given equal rights to men.
You can still watch the shows of “I Dream of Jeannie”
as they are aired on television sometimes and are also
available on CD’s. There are many products such as
t-shirts, neckties on posters, board games, internet
activities, casino slot machines etc., have imitations
of pictures of “I Dream of Jeannie” on them. In 1965, I
was in Las Vegas that year when the “I Dream of Jeannie”
slot machines were introduced. It was real fun to hear
the machine saying “Helllooo, Master!” in Barbara Eden
voice whenever it was turned on. This machine was very
popular those days and is still favorites for some.
