Shows like “I Dream of Jeannie”, “Petticoat Junction”, “Green Acres”, “The Beverly Hillbillies”, “Lost in Space”, “Bewitched”, “Mr. Ed”, “My Mother The Car”, and of course, “Gilligan’s Island”. Completely, totally, unalterably corny, silly and stupid, but...oh, how we watched them and laughed at them. Different times, indeed.
RIP Professor.
You know what I never understood about “I dream of Jeanie” was how come the feminists never wanted to ban and/or boycott the advertisers on the show.
I mean you have a dumb blond that dresses in a harem costume who lives in a bottle and comes out takes orders from her male master.

“Arnold say’s he don’t wanna ride in the back seat Mr. Douglas’’.
Mr. Douglas:”You mean that pig can talk!?!’’
Mr. Ziphell: “Aw now ya gone and hurt his feelins’, he don’t think he’s a pig at all.’’
Mr. Douglas: “Well what does he think’’?
Mr. Ziphell: “He thinks he’s Lassie’’.
