I Dream of Jeannie: The Complete Series (1965)

Description

I Dream of Jeannie had a premise of astronaut Tony Nelson finding a beautiful, blonde 2000-year-old genie in a bottle after a flight. Jeannie turns out to be mischievous, a little innocent and very much in love with her master. The only other person who knows their secret is Roger Healey, Tony's best friend and fellow astronaut. NASA psychiatrist Dr. Alfred Bellows is frustrated and flustered by the strange things that always seem to happen around Major Nelson, but never actually finds out what's causing them.
