To appreciate the archive, you must appreciate the art. I Dream of Jeannie was created by Sidney Sheldon (who later became a famous novelist). The premise is absurdly simple: Captain Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), an astronaut, lands on a deserted island, finds a bottle, and releases a 2,000-year-old genie (Barbara Eden). Hilarity ensues as Jeannie uses her magical powers to win his love, usually creating chaos that must be hidden from NASA and Tony’s nosy major, Roger Healey (Bill Daily).
