I Dream of Jeannie

While on a mission, American astronaut Captain Tony Nelson is forced to make an emergency landing that will forever change his life. On a deserted South Pacific island, Captain Nelson happens upon a bottle containing a beautiful two-thousand-year-old female genie named Jeannie. Rescuing her from the bottle nets Tony the requisite three wishes, and then some, when Jeannie pledges total devotion to her new "master".
How do you make a fair assessment for a TV show that premiered more than half a century ago?
From todays point of view you could easily say it´s naive, the scripts are repetitive and you could also say the show is antagonistic to women. You would be right on all this. But those were the times and those were the shows. You have to accept this and then enjoy one of TVs all time classics
