Interesting thing about watching these I Dream of Jenie episodes one right after another on the DVD's is that it really does read like chapters in a book, only in visual form. Very few I remember from my childhood days, but a few I do remember.
I am much more of a visual learner than reader. I would have already put the book of "I Dream of Jenie" to the side and stopped reading it, but seeing the chapters unfold from the first episode to nearing the end, I see that this series was actually a "book" about a man who found a bottle on a beach, opened it up and a beautiful woman came out with smoke who then was for the rest of her life subject to "pleasing" this man in any anything he could ever want.
From the beginning, he actually never wanted much of anything except what he could create with his own mind and two hands. He loves his career as an astronaut and has very little desire for marriage, but just likes his bachelor life as it is.
Jenie falls in love with him very soon and decides she is going to marry him. If she marries a mortal she will lose her Jenie powers.
In one episode with the help of a superior male genie she looks into the future to see that if she marries her mortal master her little girl will be a genie and her little boy with be a mortal. This is very similar to the Betwitched episodes which I am assuming also will be like reading a book from the beginning to the end only in "visual" content.
So funny how I never realized this fact until now. This is the day to the day life of Tony Nelson, the astronaut and the genie he found in a bottle on the beach and all the ridiculous funny things that can happen within this fantasy.
With life happening in between times for me as I watched some of these sitcoms growing up, I never knew what they were actually about until now that I am watching them one right after another. Once a week episodes did not stick with me. My memories of this sitcom was nothing like I am viewing now, so as a child, I must have not been much of a visual learner as I am now.
Too much else in my life going on though at the ages I saw these episodes. I am not a book reader at all, only something "how-to" do I read from step one to the last step and that is also only if I take the time to read every step.
Enjoying this "I Dream of Genie" Book. I wanted to read some books, but then again, I am not a book reader, so this is surely the next best thing for me anyway.
I am crocheting as I go along here, handbags mostly at this time......I don't know how long I will have a mind to crochet. This is something that has never stuck with me, only come to me from time to time throughout my life, yet, I never had access to so many different patterns either without buying books and magazines, of which I hate to read. I can crochet from patterns, but I like best crocheting from the visual tutorials. And my favorite yarn so far is Red Heart. It has been the easiest to work with and they have huge range of color choices. No wonder it is America's favorite yarn.....I like it better than the Lion Brand or any other which is much more expensive.
