The Jeannie theme is the worst ear-worm ever for me. It’s so hard to get out of my head once it starts. I am not looking forward to it getting lots of airplay... Just sing a few verses of "The Night Chicago Died" to yourself and it will go away.
Hornet, you are evil, and must be destroyed.

Thank you.
Having properly considered the issue, the jury has concluded that Barbara Eden is irreplaceable.

Ah, Barbara Eden... is there a woman living like her? Class, beauty and brains.

What made the original work was Barbara Eden's ability to project a persona that combined innocence, mischief, and love. There is no way that Hollywood could make Jeannie in 2010 and preserve all the qualities that made it work.
Can you imagine Hollywood feminists tolerating a female lead who's a pure innocent and a dingbat?

Can you imagine Hollywood feminists tolerating a female lead who's a pure innocent and a dingbat? Certainly none to choose from for the former, but plenty to choose from for the latter. ;-)

I saw an article the other day that something like 30 movies and tv shows from the 80s were in some form of development for movies. Crazy. Nostalgia is in.
The top 10 voted on at IMDb for 2000-2009 is interesting. Three are the Lord of the Rings movies, four are foreign, and one is based on a comic book. Memento and Wall-E are the remaining two and both of them I would say are pretty original.
There are quite a few interesting original movies out there, but rarely do they get the big push from the studios. The market is ever more fractured. Remakes of stuff from a time with a wider audiences seem like good bets to get lots of people in.

The supporting players weren’t too shabby either. Dr and Mrs Bellows for example.
