Truly Dreadful Film

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This show was produced during the years following World War 2, when large numbers of American GIs were returning home from campaigns in overseas theaters. One of the places where American soldiers fought was North Africa, which was used by the armed forces to stage an invasion of Italy. This show is most likely a metaphor for a GI who brought home a bride from overseas.I've seen some pretty scathing criticism directed towards the portrayal of gender roles in this show, but it looks a lot more progressive if one interprets it in its historical context. Prior to the women's liberation movement of the 1960s, there was the first wave of feminism during the 1920s triggered by the passage of 19th Amendment which granted women suffrage for the first time.It looks like this show is trying to appeal to the sensibilities of socially conservative feminists, such as the ones who made up the suffrage movement. This demographic subset may not be as common among the mainstream American population, but you will see it quite a bit in the academic establishment.

TV's I Dream Of Jeannie was pretty much just a simple-minded one-note joke that got real stale, real fast.With the Jeannie character being just a glorified boy-toy Barbie Doll, I guess that she was created to somehow fulfill the wish of everyman's secret sexual fantasy.I found this show to be shallow, petty, painfully predictable and completely unfunny. Its desperate attempts to generate some much-needed laughs were so downright stupid that it was literally brain-dead.I thought that astronaut, Tony Nelson, was a total square who used Jeannie like a doormat. If only Jeannie would've finally wised-up and realized that she had been rescued from her bottle by the biggest bore in the entire world, bar none.The rapport that took place between Jeannie and Tony was as trite and contrived as you could possibly imagine. I totally hated the annoying way that Jeannie and Tony volleyed their ridiculous fits of jealousy back and forth between each other.All-in-all, this mid-1960s Sit-Com was dumb to the 10th power.

Jeannie means well but most of the time her good intentions make hilarious trouble for her master. Doctor Alfred Bellows is determined to find out what is going on with Tony. One time he walked into Tony's house to find an elaphant in the bedroom! Tony always has to find a way to get out of the trouble, with his best friend Roger Heeley to help him. This comical and romantic show will keep you asking for more. Please watch it because I know that once you do you will be almost as hooked as I am!

Like many artisans before him, Della Casa found inspiration inside of a bottle, but in this case it was Barbara Eden's from I DREAM OF JEANNIE. Says Mario, "I was intrigued by Jeannie's sequestered life deep within her jewel-tone bottle filled with groovy furnishings, so I created one to satisfy my own fascination." He would learn that this obsession was not exclusively his own, as he was quickly called upon to commission others for friends. Then the floodgates opened: "It's impossible to count all the collectors and connoisseurs that needed to have one of my hand-painted bottles. It has taught me never to underestimate the power of a TV show that resonates in our collective hearts." In fact, so momentous was the demand for his original Jeannie Bottles, that Della Casa is the only artist ever to be awarded the license by Sony Entertainment to officially create them for the world!
