The most beloved midriff on television finally went off the air, but the last season of I Dream of Jeannie was just as enjoyably silly as ever. Ever-helpful and virtually all-powerful Jeannie (Barbara Eden) turn her beloved astronaut Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman) into a concert pianist and a pool shark; a magic cream turns Mrs. Bellows (Emmaline Henry) into a completely different woman; magic dog Djinn Djinn and his "wife" are about to have puppies, but everyone thinks it's Jeannie who's pregnant; when a hotel is full, Jeannie gives it a new floor. But of course the big event of this season is the wedding: Tony and Jeannie finally get married, thus domesticating the show's classic male fantasy... though truly, there's no more hint of sex between the leads after the wedding than there was before it. In fact, it's surprising the show began to lose popularity; there's practically no difference between stand-alone episodes before the wedding and after it. The most enjoyable episodes of the fifth season are actually the ones setting up the wedding, which give the show a sense of momentum and richer character relationships that standard episodes, fun though they may be, usually lack. Mind you, this is still I Dream of Jeannie, not Six Feet Under--Tony's decision to marry Jeannie after resisting for so long happens without much soul-searching--but it still adds just a hint of narrative depth. Other pleasures this season include Eden's parade of groovy short-skirted outfits; brief supporting appearances by Farrah Fawcett, Dick Van Patten, and others; and the ever-dependable weaselly behavior of Roger (the ever-dependably great Bill Dailey), the show's crucial ingredient. I Dream of Jeannie was never a groundbreaking sitcom like Roseanne or Seinfield; it had a goofy but clear premise and mined it for predictable but also dependable humor. For fans, all five seasons will reward their devotion. --Bret Fetzer

Summary: Jeannie the 5th & final fantastc season :o( 2008-09-30
Comment: The release of this season left me with mixed feelings. Joy because, at last I can get the next season! Yippie! I pre-ordered this months in advance! Sad because this is it, no more Jeannie. The end.
This is a hilarious show filled with good humored fun & special effects. A show the whole family can watch! Jeannie is still an adorably innocent trouble maker wreking havoc on Major Nelsons life. This show is a must have as well as the previous 4 seasons! If you enjoy older shows without crude humor, this is for you! I will be a Jeannie fan always! This is my all time favorite show!

Summary: Enjoyable 2008-09-23
Comment: I have every season of this show as I enjoy old tv shows. I am a little disappointed how this show ends but that is not the fault of people who put the season out. This is the last year of this season and I don't think they planned to end it when they did. If you enjoy this show you will enjoy watching this.

Summary: The last Jeannie 2008-09-12
Comment: The last season of this great show.
Like the other four seasons it makes you spend hours of laughing on the sofa. Full of strange and funny situations Major Nelson gets in because of Jeannies "helping" hand, romance, a wedding and tons of magic.

Summary: SENSACIONAL 2008-09-11
Comment: Estoy convencido que I DREAM OF JEANNIE es una serie que muchas generaciones les gustara observar y se reira con las ocurrencias de los actores.
Que pena que solamente sean 5 temporadas. Hubieran sido 10 como minimo pero siempre sera un gusto ver todas las temporadas como un placer coleccionarlas.
Felicitaciones a los creadores y actores que participaron en esta comica y divertida serie
