If you're a fan of 'I Dream of Jeannie' like I am? Then, this episode is a must watch. It's very funny and a very original script. Because, let's be truthful my fellow Jeannie fans, there were way too many "Tony goes on a date or escorts a beautiful actress, and Jeannie gets jealous" scripts. However, after General Schaeffer's hippy-dippy daughter blackmails Major Nelson into taking her and her hippy boyfriend (Harold) into their home, this episode, in the immortal words of Monty Python "Is something completely different".
Also, Barbara Eden looks absolutely adorably gorgeous in everyone of her scenes in this episode. It always amazes me how as the series and Mrs. Eden grew older together, she became more-and-more beautiful with every proceeding year. It's like, Barbara started the series in 1965 as a pretty young woman who could do comedy, then by 1966-70 she became this gorgeous bombshell who could do crazy out of this world slapstick. This episode is halfway through the fourth season when Mrs. Eden (IMHO) was at her most beautiful comedic self.
I think one of the interesting aspects of this particular episode is that by the end Jeanie, Tony and boyfriend Harold are all in badly need of rest, supposedly due to exhaustion or because they're lost in some permanent state of transcendental thought. However, it's kind of implied that they're all extremely tired due to all the partying, and trippin' out with their new hippie squatters, without actually showing characters behaving like drugged out crazy bohemian's. The hippies are just sort of drugged out on their own thoughts and emotions of the moment. Okay, whatever Boomer, I'm not buying that one cause' it's not that hard to figure out what you're all really drugged out on.
