I also thought Larry Hagman's character was way cooler than Dick York/Sargent's. As for the IDOJ control issue, I'd say that Tony's mastery of Jeannie was iffy to the point of being only nominal; as I recall, Samantha seemed to be more stressed about keeping her mother and the rest of her witchy relatives off her back than Jeannie was about keeping her guy off hers... or off any other part of her, for that matter. And overall, although Jeannie had to conceal her very existence from most people until Tony married her during the fifth (1969) season, within that former constraint she wasn't leading a double life, and ergo was much more free to be who and what she was. Ironically, the marriage seemed to be more of a bottle for her than the bottle itself had been, but at least she didn't have as many family issues as Samantha did. So, not only would I have chosen to be <em>with</em> Jeannie rather than Samantha back in the day, if forced to choose nowadays I'd rather <em>be</em> Jeannie as well.Scrolling Stonehttp://www.gardenofezen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562032584293780619.post-14092224057572670822012-05-13T08:42:51.280-07:002012-05-13T08:42:51.280-07:00Growing up I had the biggest crush on Sam!
