Editorial Reviews:


The last magical season with Jeannie! The mayhem continues when Jeannie has to choose between being Tonys wife or being the queen of a country. Against Tonys wishes, Roger and Dr. Bellows plan a bachelor party for him. At the wedding, Jeannie and Tony try to figure out how to avoid photos since genies dont show up in pictures.


The most beloved midriff on television finally went off the air, but the last season of I Dream of Jeannie was just as enjoyably silly as ever. Ever-helpful and virtually all-powerful Jeannie (Barbara Eden) turn her beloved astronaut Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman) into a concert pianist and a pool shark; a magic cream turns Mrs. Bellows (Emmaline Henry) into a completely different woman; magic dog Djinn Djinn and his "wife" are about to have puppies, but everyone thinks it's Jeannie who's pregnant; when a hotel is full, Jeannie gives it a new floor. But of course the big event of this season is the wedding: Tony and Jeannie finally get married, thus domesticating the show's classic male fantasy... though truly, there's no more hint of sex between the leads after the wedding than there was before it. In fact, it's surprising the show began to lose popularity; there's practically no difference between stand-alone episodes before the wedding and after it. The most enjoyable episodes of the fifth season are actually the ones setting up the wedding, which give the show a sense of momentum and richer character relationships that standard episodes, fun though they may be, usually lack. Mind you, this is still I Dream of Jeannie, not Six Feet Under--Tony's decision to marry Jeannie after resisting for so long happens without much soul-searching--but it still adds just a hint of narrative depth. Other pleasures this season include Eden's parade of groovy short-skirted outfits; brief supporting appearances by Farrah Fawcett, Dick Van Patten, and others; and the ever-dependable weaselly behavior of Roger (the ever-dependably great Bill Dailey), the show's crucial ingredient. I Dream of Jeannie was never a groundbreaking sitcom like Roseanne or Seinfield; it had a goofy but clear premise and mined it for predictable but also dependable humor. For fans, all five seasons will reward their devotion. --Bret Fetzer

User Comments About I Dream of Jeannie - The Complete Fifth Season

magical and fun

:) could watch each of the episodes many times. I can imagine that our great great great grand children would also want to see it. you wont regret it on the contrary. I love this serie a lot. If you want to enjoy magical moments watch this.

Jeannie the 5th & final fantastc season :o(

If you enjoy older shows without crude humor, this is for you. The end. This is a hilarious show filled with good humored fun & special effects. Jeannie is still an adorably innocent trouble maker wreking havoc on Major Nelsons life. Sad because this is it, no more Jeannie.

I pre-ordered this months in advance.

I will be a Jeannie fan always.

Yippie.

This is my all time favorite show.

This show is a must have as well as the previous 4 seasons.

Joy because, at last I can get the next season.

The release of this season left me with mixed feelings.

A show the whole family can watch.

Enjoyable

I am a little disappointed how this show ends but that is not the fault of people who put the season out. If you enjoy this show you will enjoy watching this. I have every season of this show as I enjoy old tv shows. This is the last year of this season and I don't think they planned to end it when they did.

SENSACIONAL

Que pena que solamente sean 5 temporadas. Felicitaciones a los creadores y actores que participaron en esta comica y divertida serie Estoy convencido que I DREAM OF JEANNIE es una serie que muchas generaciones les gustara observar y se reira con las ocurrencias de los actores. Hubieran sido 10 como minimo pero siempre sera un gusto ver todas las temporadas como un placer coleccionarlas.
