I Dream of Jeannie
No one keeps this impish, delightful genie bottled up
Created by Sidney Sheldon
On NBC
A lighthearted, magic-driven sitcom built on the romantic and comedic tension between an astronaut and his devoted genie, sustained across 139 episodes of wish-fulfillment chaos and affection.
While on a mission, American astronaut Captain Tony Nelson is forced to make an emergency landing that will forever change his life. On a deserted South Pacific island, Captain Nelson happens upon a bottle containing a beautiful two-thousand-year-old female genie named Jeannie. Rescuing her from the bottle nets Tony the requisite three wishes, and then some, when Jeannie pledges total devotion to her new "master".
