In The Bedroom
Over the course of the show, we saw Jeannie leave the room when she and Tony go into the bedroom with each other. Did you ever feel confused about this? Well, the truth is that this had something to do with the strict censorship rules of the time. Back then, TV shows often showed twin beds in the bedroom. It was not at all common to show couples sharing a bed even when they were married!
Taking Pride In The Role
Many people hate being associated with a single character for the rest of their careers. Barbara did not mind it so much. “She’s not human; this is a fantasy,” she shared with The Chicago Tribune. The actress went on, “She was a genie: It was her job, and she loved her job. The word ‘master’ — note the semantics — it may mean one thing to humans. But to a genie, that’s what (Maj. Nelson) was. And that’s all. He was the first to take the cap off the bottle. You can’t compare a career girl with a genie.”
