What I'm watching-I dream of Jeannie season 5

Now and then I tend to revisit 60’s things. Currently,I’m watching the last season of I Deam of Jeannie. This is season where Jeannie marries Tony. But the really big news is Major Nelson asks Jeannie to stop calling him master . Thank God! It has always been painful to watch her bounce up and down calling him Master. Jeannie does everything but bring him his slipper, oops -that happen in first season There have been times when I have wanted to reach in the television and shake her- “Don’t you have any pride, Girl”.
The character's are pretty much the same. Barbara Eden looks fantastic as ever as Jeannie, and Jeannie evil sister named Jeannie also as her mother, you guess it- named Jeannie. Larry Hagman looks a little worst for wear. His eyes are always hazy, red and puffy –I thinks open more bottles then Jeannie's. Amanda Bellows (Emmaline Henry )part is beefed up-now she is Jeannie new best friend. Doctors Bellows (Hayden Rorke) is a little kinder this season, probably because he has now under close check of Amanda.
Roger( Bill Daily) or Rog as Tony calls him is still the bumbling friend/skirt chaser. Bill Daily went on to play to uniformed bumbling nieghbor/skirt chaser on the Bob Newhart. The man found what worked and stayed with it.

Jin-Jin the dog is in an episode looking very depressed and cute. Jin-Jin was a rescued dog from the palace where he beated by the palace guards. So any time he see a uniform he attacks. Tony(larry hagman) won't let Jeannie keep him. I keep hoping Jeannie take a look at the kind of man she's going to marry.

Jeannie does get to wear a satin pants outfit to her wedding. None of her family get to go-including her mom and dad. I'm sure Tony had something to do with that too- Jeannie look at this. Does she get the dream wedding in some Middle Eastern Palace? -nope the chapel at NASCA. She waited over 2000 years and she a gets phoney sky and a white ivy climber. Jeannie would have did better at Vegas.
