I Dream Of Jeannie Mistakes, Goofs And Oddities Season 4

[@paulkelley3901]

these videos are awesome. even better than the subject matter is your obvious passion for the show. too many people would just put down these old sitcoms as nonsense and trash, but as long as there are people like you out there who do these kind of vids out of nothing more than love and respect we'll all benefit from seeing these golden oldies! thanks and keep up the great work!

[@outsider238]

Wow! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I hope these shows never lose their appeal. They were just good, clean fun and still are today. Thank you for the excellent comment! 😁

[@troybirch]

Here’s a real comment- thanks for doing this work! I still love Barbara Eden. I haven’t seen full episodes in years. Time to take out the old DVD’s.

[@outsider238]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! 😁

[@justinturley7071]

Love this show! I have all 5 seasons on dvd. I need to go and watch them again.

[@denveradams4909]

Yes, Barbara Eden could sing well. While serving in the Marine Corps, I was at the John Wayne theater, located at Knott's Berry Farm. The show that evening was Barbara Eden and Soupy Sales together. They actually put on a good show, with both of them singing and a little comedy. This was in 1978 or 79.

[@outsider238]

That's very cool! They would have been great to see. I loved Soupy Sales as well!

[@gymbeef]

In the supermarket scene, there is no one in the aisles, obviously a backdrop shot when the supermarket was closed.

[@outsider238]

Yeah I noticed that too! 😄

[@flashgordon6238]

At 32:02 for the split screen, you can see they placed a board vertically against the wall, but the just covered the baseboard with it and did not even try to conceal the break in the baseboard. You can also see the shadow from the right bar stool is cut off right at that board since that is that is the split.

[@outsider238]

Haha! Yes and I forgot to mention it but you can just barely see Jeannie's leg start to disappear where the split is as well.

[@justinturley7071]

It's not really a baseboard it's how they filmed those two scenes. Barbara was later interviewed about how they filmed the split screen, Barbara would film 1 side as Jeannie with a double and another the very next day as Jeannie II, then the editors would cut a piece of film and tape one end to the other, which is why you see a darker shade in the middle of the screen, the same applied for Larry Hagman in Too Many Tony's in Season 1 and in The Case of My Vanishing Master Part 2.

[@justinturley7071]

Sid Melton was the Reporter in The Biggest Star in Hollywood. He was famous for appearing in Green Acres as the incompetent carpenter Alf Monroe, and one of my favorite roles of him was as Friendly Freddy an unsuccessful con-artist on Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.

[@alancrisp1582]

🤣 Classic comedy at its very best, so ridiculous and absurd, still makes me laugh every time I re-watch it today.....

[@outsider238]

I agree! They were just good fun for everyone! 😁

[@larryfishgold2671]

Thanks for the shout out! My only comment for Season 5 is during Hurricane Jeannie in some of the living room scenes the camera shows the high walls of the set. You can see pipes and generally look good is like a set piece. Enjoy these videos!

[@outsider238]

My pleasure! I appreciate your tips! I love Hurricane Jeannie. It's one of my favorite episodes. I also loved that newer design of the house interior.

[@justinturley7071]

I was just watching Jeannie and the Wild Pipchics and noticed in the background in the scene that features Tony trying to pick up Finch and has trouble picking her up, you can see Bill Daily laughing.

[@joekouyoumjian2601]

Thanks for the 4th season walkthrough; many good episodes I'll have to view again. However, the episode "The Indispensable Jeannie," which I thought was great especially the final sequence where Jeannie made Mr. and Mrs. Bellows argue. Did you notice when Tony left the soda shop to go home, he glanced at his watch which had the name Thunderball in a circle around the dial? Also, you can see in the center of the dial what I think is 007, then below that is the word appreciation. Mabey, a souvenir Rolex from that Bond movie two years earlier. Thanks again for your presentation.😀

[@outsider238]

Thank you! I was noticing his watch. I couldn't quite figure out what kind of watch it was but I noticed it was unique. It's very interesting.

[@pgp1962]

If you look in the background when jeannie is wearing the yellow dress with Bob Hastings, her picture is in the frame in back of her from the movie with elvis presley. I wonder if they did this on purpose.

[@outsider238]

No way! I'll have to check that out! I'm sure it was a total Easter egg! 😁😄

[@robear0135]

At 9:53-10:00, on Major Healy's bed, looks like the boom and microphone shadow.

[@outsider238]

I think you're right! I'll have to go back and watch that scene but it sure looks like the boom! 😄

[@justinturley7071]

Also worth noting, Columbia Pictures is Screen Gems. The Screen Gems name was actually named that, because no studios in the late 1940s were going into Television, because they thought they would lose money if they did that, but before, Ralph Cohn son of Co-founder Jack Cohn and nephew of Columbia's head, Harry Cohn, founded Pioneer Telefilms, a Television commercial company in 1947. Ralph later wrote a 50-page memo arguing that Columbia should be the first major film studio to move into television. Although Harry wasn't convinced by the suggestion, Columbia invested $50,000 acquiring Pioneer and reorganized it as Screen Gems. The studio started its new business in New York on April 15, 1949. If you by any chance seen The Three Stooges in syndication in the 1960s, they usually had a Screen Gems logo plastered at the beginning before a short came on.

[@outsider238]

Very interesting! Thank you for the information. I always liked that Screen Gems music and logo segment that appeared at the end of many shows! 😁

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Back in the day, TV resolution was so grainy that no one worried about the fly-wires possibly being seen by the average viewer.

[@pt008]

33:17 you can see the edge of Jeannie's pants disappear into the screen split... very briefly and barely, but capturable.

[@outsider238]

Yes! They actually fade away on the edge of the split screen! 😄

[@andyl8362]

I think you missed one at 25:15 when Dr. Bellows is shaking the bottle upside down, the image turns right side up but Jeannie's hair and scarf are still being held up by the same strings when she was shown upside down.

[@outsider238]

Yeah I think they did that to let the audience understand what was going on with the skunk. I'm thinking they were thinking that the audience wouldn't see what it was upside-down. That's my guess anyway! 😄

[@phillipk.brodie9662]

Great video.I can't believe that they are tearing down the neighborhood set at the old Columbia now Warner Ranch. Those house facades are television history going back to the Blondie movies of the 1930s and 1940s. A street there was actually named Blondie Street. The Heck house on the show 'The Middle' was on the street as well as the house in 'Wandavision'.

[@outsider238]

An absolute shame that they are not going to preserve that lot. It is full of historical locations!

[@justinturley7071]

In How to Marry an Astronaut (it’s not a mistake per say in the background or how they film it, it has to do with the continuity) when Roger and Tony are talking about Jeannie’s sister, they mention how Jeannie’s sister blinked Roger to the tribe of picme (sorry if I couldn’t spell right), under the sea, and Antarctica where Roger almost froze to death, but if we remember Jeannie did all of that, the episode where she blinks Roger to the tribe of picme and under the sea were in the episode where Tony had amnesia (I’ll Never Forget What’s Her Name, Season 1 Episode 30), so Tony shouldn’t have any recollection of any of that (also Jeanne’s sister as we know her wasn’t mentioned as a Genie, but was mentioned as Jeannie’s little sister, but as a mortal), and the time Jeannie blinked Roger to Antarctica without a coat was by Jeannie in season 2. A weird continuity issue.

[@outsider238]

All very good catches! You sure can tell there were different writers for the show that didn't know what the other writers wrote.

[@hifijohn]

The colored ice cubes is a good idea, dont have to worry about spilling anything or pouring it back into the bottle.

[@outsider238]

I thought it was very clever as well! 😁

[@3dartistguy]

In that Supermarket scenee of Ride-em Astronaunt, it was clearly a photo backdrop of the intereior of a supermarket.

[@outsider238]

Yes, in fact you can see the shadow from the back wall casting onto it on the right.

[@davidwahrheit6143]

I believe the kid who is standing on the "Friends" fountain with Dr. Bellows and "Agnes" also appeared in the Star Trek episode "A Piece of the Action."

[@outsider238]

Yes he did! 😁

[@claudecall]

It's also pretty clear that in that scene it's also cold, since you can see the kid's breath as well. That fountain also appeared in the film "1776" but it's tough to tell because there's so much stuff growing on it.

[@laurileblanc2001]

The actor who played the hillbilly Clem also was Prince Charming in a Bewitched episode.

[@outsider238]

No way! I guess he got around! Haha! 😄

[@passatboi]

They also used that UFO in a Bewitched episode (Samantha's Secret Saucer). But in that episode, the aliens were people dressed as poodles (lame)

[@hifijohn]

Rita shaw was very well known back then she was in a few Andy Griffith episodes playing different characters as well as the ghost and Mr chicken and even on one odd couple episode.

[@outsider238]

I really liked her! She was very a versatile actress.

[@jamesa.2880]

I can make out the second half of what he says with the different dialog dubbed in. "Could you eat that"

[@outsider238]

I wonder if he said a brand name and if he does say "Could you eat that" they had to change it because they didn't want to say anything bad about a sponsor for the show.

[@jamesa.2880]

@@outsider238 Yeah, I'd say it was most likely a negative statement he was making about something that they had to take out. I read in Barbara Edens autobiography that he could be some what ornery and eccentric on the set at times..Especially when they had visitors dropping by.

[@outsider238]

@@jamesa.2880 He was downright mean at times. I mention that in a couple of videos. Larry definitely had his problems.

[@dgsandpups6618]

Larry Hagman lost his voice with all the yelling he did in the rodeo episode that's probably why they took the end of that older episode

[@outsider238]

That may very well be what happened. I always thought it was really odd that they reused that ending.

[@3dartistguy]

They used that same flying Saucer prop for an episode of BEWITCHED, on th Brady Bunch they used a cardboard cut out

[@outsider238]

Oh okay! I knew I had seen it on another show but I couldn't remember which one. Thank you! 😁

[@3dartistguy]

@@outsider238 I believe the Bewitched Epsiode is called "Samantha's Secret Saucer," kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4rHgpqdg5eSd8U

[@kennyspaulding796]

19:15 Can't tell what he says but what he is eating looks a lot like macaroni and cheese. It did (to me) looked like the first word of what he said was pork. I liked the 4th and 5th seasons more I think because Jennie got to wear her hair and clothes different and look more appealing. Started to get tired of the Jennie costume all the time. I also greatly appreciate you sharing this content with us. These are shows I grew up with and will never get tired of. BTW the saucer in the first season I recognize in an episode of Gomer Pyle and an episode of The Monkeys.

[@outsider238]

I'm dying to know what he actually said in that scene and why they had to change it. I agree, I really liked the 5th season. I'm currently working on that video. Interesting about the flying saucer. I knew I had seen it before in other shows but I couldn't remember where. Thank you for the input! 😁

[@kennyspaulding796]

@@outsider238 I'll bet that saucer was used in more but those 2 shows is what I got off the top of my head. There's something I've always wanted to know myself, maybe you do. I wish I could remember the exact episode and season it was, but it definitely was in the 2nd or 3rd. Tony and Rodger were going somewhere and Rodger says " I hope we go through Anderson Indiana", then Tony laughs and said "What's in Anderson Indiana" then Rodger said "I have a girlfriend there". Made me wonder why they put in a plug for Anderson. It was out of the blue and had nothing to do with the show. Being from this town I can't help but wonder. During the 60's other than being a growing town nothing's here. Just around 20 Delco Remy plants and 1 Guide Lamp plant (General Motors) all of them, but 1 are gone now thanks to Rodger Smith GM pres at the time.

[@outsider238]

@@kennyspaulding796 I do remember that line. I don't remember what episode it was from. My guess is one of the writers is from there and just wanted to have it mentioned in the show.

[@kennyspaulding796]

Can't imagine anyone from Anderson IN being a hollywood writer but I guess it's possible.

[@jamesgregg1907]

Awesome

[@Nathan-jq1uw]

On Dallas, JR Ewing (Larry Hagman) was actually married to Sue Ellen (Linda Gray). So that marriage license is pretty cool.

[@outsider238]

Oh wow! That's is so weird! Talk about a really strange coincidence! That's fantastic! 😁😄

[@hifijohn]

Is that arnold opies friend ,the kid with the red and white shirt.

[@outsider238]

I know I've seen him before on other shows. I think you're right about Opie's friend. From the color episodes I believe. Good catch!

[@waynestockton8953]

Can you do mistakes goofs and oddities on Bewitched please

[@outsider238]

The only reason I was able to do this series and Lost In Space is because I've seen these episodes so many times I started noticing all these things. I like Bewitched but I haven't seen the episodes enough to do an in depth series like this one of all the mistakes in that show.

[@richardwilliams473]

Hard to believe that Barbara Eden was married to mean looking Michael Ansara
