Yeah, Major Heally and Col. Bellows getting screwed over once a week was great too.

And, since it had a lot more exterior shots than Bewitched, there were plenty of scenes with some sweet ass boss cars.  God, that blue '67 GTO convertible and Healey's '68 Firebird. :wub: :fap:

Despite Eden's revealing outfits, I always thought Montgomery was much hotter.

That's what this is about, right?

Was I Dream of Jennie on TV when we were young? I don't think I ever saw it. I did like Bewitched. Also, after a google image search it appears you are correct.

I wonder if she could've twitched her nose with a fat cock in her mouth.

Bewitched was a crap show (though observers are correct that Elizabeth Montgomery was hotter than Barbara Eden).  The plots were painful and predictable, even to a kid.  Only Samantha's father had any redeeming qualities; Darrin was such a moron it was hard to care what happened to him, and Samantha's mother did the same fucking thing every single show.

I haven't seen these shows in decades, but I don't think I'd bother with Bewitched even if I could get it for free.  I'd be delighted to see some IDoJ, even though it has not, I am sure, aged well.

But Larry is coming over with a new client for dinner, and his ad campaign is so important to the firm you can lose your job if dinner is fucked up.

I dunno, I think it's still pretty funny. :lol:

Don't forget about the very special Bewitched episode where Darrin stands up to a racist client.

I think there was a British one, thought she might have just been a ghost in some childrens programme.

Though we did have Emma Peel in the 60s who appeared to have special powers.   :bowler:

I kind of enjoyed Larry Tate and Doctor Bombay, too.  But, yeah, one of the problems with Bewitched was that for the most part, the best members of the supporting cast were either only semi-regulars or just appeared occassionally.  On I Dream of Jeannie, in contrast, Major Healey and Dr. Bellows were regulars, and if anything were actually funnier than the Jeannie and Major Nelson.

Belldandy is flat chested and has giant mutant eyes.  Clearly you've missed the point of this poll.
Every animated character has giant eyes.

That was the joke, Tim.

QuoteAlso, I wouldn't say she's flat chested.

404 Not Found, not even the most powerful search engines on the interwebs can find Belldandy's bosom.  Poor Keiichi.   :(
There was an obvious formatting error there, you could have fixed it yourself. :angry:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Don't most comedies still use 'em?
