Classic TV comedy sitcom fans there are so many classic TV comedy sitcoms that are currently out there that i've been wanting to review / take a look at for a while now and well the episode that i'm about to review for you all today belong to such a TV show. Since even tho i've seen this episode I think once before it's also an episode that i've been wanting to review for you all for a fairly long time now and so join me as I review the first ever episode of the TV show that is called simply just "I Dream Of Jeannie" with the episode in question being called simply just "The Lady In The Bottle" and so enjoy the review everybody / everyone.
The plot of this episode is after crash landing on a mysterious island astronaut Captain Tony Nelson finds a mysterious bottle which he then proceeds to uncork but by doing so he unleashes a beautiful and mysterious genie. Now then I will very fully admit that the plot of this very / particular episode is bit on the weak side of things since the plot of the episode is barely even mentioned or brought up in the rest of the episode but at the same time it was still a very / fairly enjoyable plotline to see playout in this very / particular episode.
Starring in this very / particular is Barbara Eden as Jeannie and the late and always great Larry Hagman as Captain Anthony Nelson. Also starring in this very / particular episode is Hayden Rorke as Dr. Alfred Bellows , Bill Daily as Captain Roger Healey , Philip Ober as Gen. Wingard Stone , Karen Sharpe as Melissa Stone , Don Dubbins as Lt. Pete Conway, USNR and Baynes Barron as Commander Ben Roberts.
Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode in all honesty I honestly thought that that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular was very passable at best. Which is a shame because when the acting in this episode wants to be good it can be really good but alot of the time the performances that are coming from the actors and actresses that are starring / appearing in this very / particular episode just seems of which is to be expected from the first ever episode of a V show but it's still a very negative thing in this very / particular episode in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then jus like with the Bewitched TV series I in all honesty have no clue / no idea as to how the effects that we see in this very / particular episode were created. Which is a shame because apart from one shot where you can quite clearly tell that they used the sixties equivalent of green screen or blue screen the effects that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode really do hold up really freaking well in my opinion anyways / at least.
This show is pretty much exactly like the classic Bewitched TV series in that both shows star a stunningly beautiful leading actress whose character has something to do with the supernatural and they have them be paired up with a male who doesn't want them to use there supernatural powers / gifts in order for them both to fit into society alot better. Now i'm not saying that this show is an exact clone of Bewitched because it's all honesty not but if you look at the similarities between the two shows then you can't help but wonder if this show copied the basic premise of Bewitched but altered a few things in order for it slip by without the makers of bewitched straight up suing the makers of this show.
Now then one of the things that I didn't really like about this episode is kind of a spoiler for the episode and since this episode is fairly good and I do want you guys to see this episode without knowing that much about the actually episode. However if you've seen Bewitched they do something in this episode which makes Larry Hagman's character really / fairly unlikable as it's something that doesn't really make sense for both the character and for the plot of this episode.
Now then I will very fully admit that this episode isn't as good as it perhaps could have and /or more importantly should have been. Since this episode doesn't really give us any reasons as to why we should the characters of both Captain Anthony Nelson and Jeannie likable in the slightest since yes both characters do indeed come across as being very likable at certain points in the episode but at the same time both characters also do things that could possibly make them come across as being extremely unlikable as well but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.
This very / particular episode has a grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and forty five seconds and well if i'm being well and truly really freaking honest here people that running is the exact right amount of running time for this episode. Since / simply because this very / particular doesn't really have enough there in terms of plot / story and so trying to make this episode by anywhere that's even close to thirty minuets would be stretching an already pretty thinly drawn story / plot even thinner in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this episode is indeed an episode of a comedy TV show / TV series after all that does infact mean that there are some actual jokes that are in this episode and that means that I have to actually talk about the jokes that are featured / presented to us in the actual episode itself and if i'm being really freaking honest here people the jokes that are actually featured / presented to us in the actual episode itself are a very mixed bag of affairs for me personally. This is simply because alot of the jokes just simply aren't that funny which is a shame because when this episode does indeed tell a really freaking funny joke it can indeed be a really freaking funny joke indeed it's just a shame that there's not that many actually funny jokes that are to be found in the actual episode itself in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this wasn't a bad first episode in the slightest but that's also the problem because this also wasn't a very good episode since this episode was a very middle of the road episode since for every one thing that this episode does that's good it does two more things that are bad / wrong in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and that means that this very / particular episode gets of I Dream Of Jeannie a grand score of a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very from Wikipedia ,the official Black-Ish fandom wiki page , the official I Dream Of Jeannie fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are from this actual episode being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from this particular / very episode and plus alot of if not all of the images that are from this actual episode and that are currently / presently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
