In my opinion, we should pin this thread to the top of the page!

One of the reasons I was first attracted to my wife was that I saw a strong resemblance to Barbara Eden in many ways. The color and shape of her eyes, nose and mouth, especially when she smiled, reminded me of my childhood (and current at the time) biggest crush.

Those Jeanie outfits later in the run of the series were the reason I would still watch today. It wasn't the same when they got married and she started wearing normal clothes. At least short dresses and skirts were in fashion at the time. She always had the pretty face.

Yeah, Jeanie was 1a and Samantha was 1b.

My mom said I had a crush on Cindy Brady, but I would have been more a Marsha fan. Back then I would have picked Ginger over Mary Ann. As I learned more about women, I switched to Mary Ann over Ginger.

Anything in a two piece? You know the drill.

What male over the age of 12 who ever watched an I Dream of Jeanie episode didn't have the fantasy of having Jeanie say "anything you desire Master; your wish is my command!"

Giddyup!
