The Show Achieved The Most Popularity In Reruns
The show might not have been the highest-rated TV show upon its debut. It did not claim the top spot during its original run. However, it performed very well when it went into syndication at WPIX. The TV series even earned a 23 share of the audience and a 13 rating. It kept doing well in various areas and made history as the first off-network series to beat network competition in terms of ratings! Whoa.
Barbara Eden, After The Show
Just so you know, the end of the show did not mark the end of her time playing the character. Barbara Eden returned for two television movies: I Dream of Jeannie: 15 Years Later (1985) and I Still Dream of Jeannie (1991). Outside of the show, she was also in a short-lived show called Harper Valley, PTA. In 1990, she worked with Hagman once more on a few episodes of Dallas. In 2006, the colleagues reunited for the DVD release tour of their old show!
