Jeannie is an American animated television series that originally aired for a 16-episode season on CBS from September 8 to December 22, 1973. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera in association with Screen Gems, and its founders William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are the executive producers. Despite being a spin-off of sorts of the television sitcom I Dream of Jeannie , Jeannie has little in common with its parent show. In this version, the title character is rescued on the beaches of southern California by a high school student, Corey Anders. Jeannie is accompanied by genie-in-training Babu, and they become companions to Corey and his best friend, Henry Glopp, both of whom also help Jeannie and Babu adjust to their new home as well as life in Los Angeles. The series was marketed towards a younger demographic than I Dream of Jeannie.

Contents

Julie McWhirter replaces Barbara Eden in the lead role. In his first voice-acting job, Mark Hamill plays Corey Anders, and also sings the theme music. Babu is voiced by Joe Besser, who had a successful voice-acting career at the time. Jeannie was shown as part of CBS's Saturday-morning cartoon programming block, and episodes aired between 1973 and 1975. The show was also included on the wheel series Fred Flintstone and Friends , and had crossovers with the Scooby-Doo franchise. Though a few retrospective reviews of Jeannie have been negative, it has gained popularity after Warner Bros. bought Hanna-Barbera and its properties in 1996 as it was one of the few series not to be owned by them (as Sony currently holds the rights, along with the rest of the Jeannie franchise). It remains popular with the public and industry professionals, and has been recently distributed via two streaming services: Crackle and CTV Throwback. An episode can also be viewed at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Premise and characters

In Jeannie, high school student Corey Anders [lower-alpha 1] discovers Jeannie's bottle while surfing and draws the title character out of it. [1] [4] [5] Corey becomes the master to Jeannie and her apprentice Babu. [1] [4] Portrayed as a 16-year-old, Jeannie is shown as training the "junior genie" Babu, [1] [2] [6] who frequently causes trouble due to his inexperience with magic., [6] Babu is characterized as having a habit of "popping in at the most inopportune times". [2] [7] The pair become close "friends and protectors" to Corey, who is Jeannie's love interest. [1] [7]

Episodes typically focus on Corey's attempts to hide Jeannie and Babu's true identities as he attends Center City High School and Jeannie's difficulties with adjusting to life in 1970s California. [8] Corey's storylines also include his friend Henry Glopp; [4] other than Corey, Henry is the only other person aware of Jeannie's identity as a genie. [9] Other supporting characters include Corey's mom Mrs. Anders, a frenemy named S. Melvin Farthinggale, the Master of all Genies known as the Great Hadji, and Debbie. [1] [3] [9] S. Melvin is portrayed as a "snobbish snoop", who frequently sneaks around the Anders' home due to his suspicions about Jeannie and Babu. [3]

Jeannie is an animated spin-off of the live-action television sitcom I Dream of Jeannie , although it has a substantially different plot than its parent show. [5] [6] In this version, Corey replaces astronaut Major Tony Nelson. [1] [5] While I Dream of Jeannie was a family show, it focused on '60s-style relationships (especially in its first season), the NASA moon project and broad slapstick. The humor used for the animated Jeannie, more focused toward teenagers and children, is of the Archie comics nature, with themes of dating, school events and friendship. Like the original series, Jeannie is emotionally attached to her assumed boyfriend and becomes jealous in the face of competition, a staple of teen-age comics and sitcoms. Unlike the original series, Jeannie is depicted as younger and with red hair instead of blonde; [7] [10] she activates her magic by shaking her ponytail rather than blinking her eyes. [6]

Jeannie was a Hanna-Barbera production, with the company's founders William Hanna and Joseph Barbera serving as the show's executive producers. Charles August Nichols was the director, and Iwao Takamoto was the producer. [1] I Dream of Jeannie creator Sidney Sheldon is not included in the credits for Jeannie, which The A.V. Club 's Will Harris attributes to the extreme differences between the two shows. [6] Hanna-Barbera had created Jeannie as a way to appeal to a younger demographic. [10] The musical director was Hoyt Curtin and music supervisor was Paul DeKorte. [4] Jeannie was a co-production between Hanna-Barbera and Columbia Pictures, as Columbia's Screen Gems television division was the owner of I Dream of Jeannie. Hanna-Barbera had a long association with Columbia and Screen Gems as they distributed their earlier shows, including The Flintstones and The Jetsons. However, the rights to all Hanna-Barbera properties were transferred to Warner Bros. after the studio purchased the company in 1996. Hanna-Barbera did not, however, animate the titles for the original I Dream of Jeannie—that was DePatie-Freleng—but they did animate a variety of opening titles (including both Darrins) for Screen Gems' Bewitched. [11]

Barbara Eden was replaced by Julie McWhirter as the voice of Jeannie. [1] Mark Hamill provides the voice for Corey Anders, in his first voice-acting job. [1] [12] [13] Along with voicing the character, he sings the theme music. [13] Hamill would not become well known as a voice actor until his role as the Joker in the television show Batman: The Animated Series . [14]

Bob Hastings and Joe Besser portray Henry Glopp and Babu, respectively. [1] Besser was a successful voice actor during the 1970s and 1980s; along with Jeannie, he also voiced regular characters in the television programs The Houndcats and Yogi's Space Race . He had previously appeared in an I Dream of Jeannie episode, alongside the members of The Three Stooges. [15] Debbie, Mark, and Mrs. Anders are played by Arlene Golonka, Michael Bell, and Janet Waldo, respectively. [1] Mrs. Anders is voiced by Ginny Tyler in episode 11 ("The Blind Date") and Janet Waldo in episode 16 ("The Wish"). John Stephenson and Tommy Cook voice Great Hadji and S. Melvin Farthinghill (a.k.a. Smellvin) respectively. [16] Sherry Alberoni, Julie Bennett, Don Messick, and Ginny Tyler provide additional voice-acting for the series. [2]
