I Dream Of Jeannie







I Dream Of Jeannie was a 1965-1970 sitcom starring Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman about an astronaut who finds a bottle on a remote beach that houses a genie and takes her back to his home in the flatlands of Cocoa Beach, Florida. Outside shots of his house sometimes showed hills in the background that mysteriously looked like the Hollywood Hills. All the genie wanted to do was serve the astronaut in more ways than one, but of course he shunned her advances as they weren't married.

That Girl







That Girl was a late 60's sitcom starring Marlo Thomas who also had a lot to do with the development and production of the show. It was probably the first comedy to star a single female who was also a young career woman not looking to start a family and become a housewife. A bit radical in that day and age, but it paved the way for many other similar shows that followed. Complete 136 episodes.
