Question #2, Jeannie or Bewitched??

[nytemare]

I preferred I Dream of Jeannie. I liked the physical humor, and the tension between the Major and Jeannie.

1. Jeannie was too much of a

mystical bimbo and turned her poor master in evil J.R. Ewing!!! ....Samantha at least had some smarts

[intheflow]

3. But she was with Darrin!

He was such a dullard. How smart could she really be? :P

[flakey_foont]

10. Was Durwood any duller

than Major Anthony Nelson?

[nytemare]

6. She was just naive.

And from a different time. So she seemed bimboie.

LOL.

Both shows were classic!

2. Bewitched!

I liked their house better. ;)

4. Elizabeth Montgomery, no contest!

5. Any woman who calls her husband "Master" is already a loser.

:D

[nytemare]

8. Yeah, but she was the one in control.

Titles mean nothing without the action to follow.

:hi:

7. I like both, but I prefer Bewitched to Jeannie

for some reason, I'm not quite sure why. :shrug:

[nytemare]

9. I thought both were great

But probably only for the reasons I mentioned, I liked Jeannie better. I thought Larry Hagman was great at physical comedy.

11. You can't be serious! Jeannie by a MILE!

[nytemare]

14. I said I liked Jeannie better!

I am serious. Serious about funniness!!

:hi:

12. Bewitched in a hearbeat

In large part just because Elizabeth Montgomery is just sooooooo wonderful.

13. Which Darrin are we talking about?

The cast for Jeanie was fun - - but the plots were pretty bland.

Bewitched had much better scripts - - and supporting characters!



But Dick York's Darrin just irritates me to no end. If he's on, I'd vote for Jeanie just for that reason.

15. Jeannie...

...being stupider, was better.

16. both shows are classics

17. Bewitched. Definitely Bewitched.

While I liked the stars of both and like both shows, Betwitched was much better written, and had a bigger and better cast. Jeannie was kind of trapped by the outfit, and by the premise.

Jeannie became redundant long before Bewtiched did. That's a tribute to Bewitched's writers and to Bewitched's premise.

Jeanies are jeanies, and that's all good, but witches, witches are witches. There is a lore and a written history of witches, fictional and real - so Bewitched had more places to go, story wise.

Bewitched just had an edge that Jeannie didn't.

As for Barbara and Elizabeth, I am thankful for both, and the fact that they both played burnette characters in their series. But Elizabeth wins. She was just magical.
