A few years ago I started watching IDOJ for the first time since I was a kid on cable TV reruns. As an adult, I was able to perceive many things that simply went over my head as a child. This was actually quite an edgy show by mid 1960's standards. Oh how I wished this show would be released on DVD, and lo and behold it my wish was granted!

(And, I bought the B&W version because I prize historical accuracy. I want to see exactly what was shown on TV back then, without the lousy TV's we had back then.)

You've got a blond bombshell, who is eager to please in every way a man could imagine, living out of wedlock with an astronaut, who represented the most heroic all-american roll models we had back in the 1960's. And somehow, for years, this show provided good clean TV fun for millions of viewers.

Part of why it worked I suppose is that Jeannie really wanted to marry Tony, and slowly but surely she broke down his resolve not to marry her until toward the end of the series, when they actually do get married. The meta-narrative of the show is that
Jeannie got her wish. (Oh yeah, and she slept in her bottle until she did!)

Is IDOJ really a "knockoff" of Bewitched? Yes and no. I rather think of IDOJ as an improvement.

For example, the last scene in the pilot has Tony walking into his bedroom and closing the door, Jeannie turning to smoke and entering his bedroom under the door, Tony yelling "Knock it off!!" or something like that, and Jeannie coming back out from under the door and reappearing with a wink to the camera. It's all left to the imagination what happened in there and it's funny!

And that's where IDOJ is very different from Bewitched.

Only the first season was shot in black and white, so you only have to choose the original or colorized for the first season. Some say you can just buy the color version and turn the color on the set down to watch the black and white, but this does NOT really work, as the grey scales are thrown off. I mean, if you take a finely detailed pencil drawing with many shades of gray, have your kid use his crayons on it, and then take a black and white photo of the result, it would not look like the original!(The second season on will of course be in color only as originally seen.)

I do not see any edits on this set; all shows appear to be the complete network versions, about 4 minutes longer than the edited stuff TV Land runs! The pilot isn't really edited, despite what one reviewer claims. Maybe he's seen the slightly alternate/extended version that has surfaced in some places? There are two versions of the pilot. Which ever version of the pilot is included, it's 25 mins long, and so are the rest of the episodes. You'll see many scenes that are cut out of reruns, so don't hesitate to buy this set.

Yay!

IDOJ is finally getting the magic treatment it deserves, the show will be released in both B&W and color, although only season one was filmed in black and white. Also be on the look out for the IDOJ movie starring Jessica alba as Jeannie, Jimmy Fallon as Major Nelson , no word on who will play Dr.Bellows or my favorite character on the show Major Roger Healy.

HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE SHOW'S FIRST SEASON...

I'm not reviewing the show itself, but rather the colorization. (If you've seen the show, you know whether you like it; if you haven't seen it, you can read the many other reviews.) The show is lighthearted fun and not to be taken seriously, but if I'm bothered by the colorization, it must be really bad. Unless you like Jeannie with orange hair and people who look like they've drunk a bottle of ink, skip this version and get the BW set. Then you won't be constantly distracted by weird and wrong colors.
