Larry Hagman as Captain Tony Nelson in the TV show I Dream of Jeannie

I Dream of Jeannie Debuted on September 18, 1965 Sidney Sheldon's magical creation, I Dream of Jeannie was a delightful eye-blinking, belly-button humorous sitcom. The premise for the show was a simple story line of "Astronaut meets Genie, Genie loves Astronaut, Astronaut marries Genie story." The stars were Larry Hagman (the Astronaut) and Barbara Eden (the Genie). Their chemistry was genuine and resulted in 5 successful seasons.
