10 years ago I bought the first three seasons of I Dream Of Jeanie on DVD

I never got around to watching them and finally started a few days ago. I fucking hate it! There is like one or two stories. It is patriarchal, sexist, and glorifies the military. I gave them to a friend who grew up in the 60s and used to watch it. I cannot believe I ever though I'd like this shit show. Bewitched was way better. As a kid I always wanted to get spit roasted by the two Darrens.

Our military deserves to be glorified you dumbass. They protect our cuntry and give us the freedom we have.

Go move to Mexico or Canada. They need more ugly lesbians.

R2 fuck you cunt. Like 800 billion a year or more of tax payer dollars goes to fight fake wars and fictitious enemies. You fucking asshole.

It didn't glorify the military. It was NASA and the space program. Astronauts were so hot during that time. Kind of stupid to order multiple seasons of a show you never watched.

I watched it as a kid when I would watch anything. Now as an adult it is fucking horrible. And NASA is part of the military machine, dumbfuck.

I tried to tell people I Dream of Jeannie was hardly classic TV like Bewitched and wasn’t even highly regarded when it was first in TV but they wouldn’t listen.

Samantha was more powerful and more intelligent

Than that 5,000 year old giggling bimbo Jeannie

Elizabeth Montgomery was said to be annoyed that the producers of IDoJ ripped off the plot of her hit show - even down to the evil dark-haired twin

Bewitched was a million times better. Uncle Arthur and Endora were awesome. IDOJ was like Three's Company. The same 2 or 3 episodes recycled a hundred times.

Uncle Arthur was gayer than Liberace and Boy George combined. His laugh was as contagious as aids.

Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman were adorable, and the interior of Jeannie's bottle is to die for! Have there been guys who have redecorated their places like it? All that purple and velvet looks so cozy!

I Dream Of Jeannie was pure fluff all the way and mindless fun. It was an okay show. And yes, here's the inside of Jeannie's beautiful bottle.

NASA is not part of the military, dipshit @r5.

Like r12 said, you are a dipshit, r5. Nasa is a civilian agency and Nasa is very serious about its civilian mission.

OP just wants to start shit.

Get over yourself, OP -- I Dream of Jeanie was a show of its time. Everything that gets your panties in a bunch doesn't deserve the #metoo treatment.

by Anonymousreply 23February 15, 2019 1:49 AM

Amanda Lepore looks like Barbara Eden on IDoJ.

R23 who mentioned the metoo bullshit, cunt. IDOJ was brain dead garbage and was never funny.

by Anonymousreply 25February 15, 2019 1:54 AM

The show debuted in 1965, OP. Did you think it was going to be as woke as sense8?

by Anonymousreply 26February 15, 2019 1:54 AM

Amanda Lepore always reminded me of IDoJ in the 90’s

R26 stick your bullshit politics right in your cunt, cunt.

Calling out patriarchy has nothing to do with the woke movement, stupid ignorant fuck.

SJWs are insufferable.

OP doesn't have a Valentine and wants to make everyone else miserable.

Boo, whore -- I Dream of Jeanie was sitcom fluff and you trying to re-label it with a disparaging statement on the political or sexual mores of America proves that you have nothing better to do with your time.

(Also, she thinks NASA is part of the military so we all know we're dealing with someone who has a Trumpian level of government knowledge. Next think you know, OP is going to try to tell us that Chico and the Man is the basis of why Trump's wall is necessary.)

I Dream of Jeannie is to Bewitched as The Partridge Family is to The Brady Bunch.

[quote]It is patriarchal, sexist, and glorifies the military

Yet Jeannie basically controls Major Nelson for the entire run of the series and forces him into doing things against his will and without his sexual consent all the time. But she DOES call him "master" and goes into her bottle sometimes when he tells her(but rarely stays put)so I guess that PROVES Tony has total , patriarchal dominance over her.

As a little kid I loved the show in reruns. Even bought the same kind of Jim Beam decanter used in the show as her bottle at a garage sale so I could play Jeannie. But it really isn't as smart as Bewitched was. Was fun for my young imagination.
