I remember this one ep. where Tony thought Jeannie was pregnant (it was actually a dog) and he was all excited and stuff. Since he didn't seem surprised and was looking forward to being a Dad...I'm guessing they were having realtions then...were they?? Did he ever get to become a Dad?!

I don't think they had sex.I guess Tony thought that genies were not like regular people.He probably assumed that she can become pregnant with passionated kisses or something like that?In the I Dream of Jeannie's movie(15 years later) Tony and Jeannie were parents:a son Tony jr.

Jeannnie and Tony were sleeping together in the episode where Tony thinks she is pregnant because they were married. Yes, it is true that it turned out a dog was expectiing puppies.

I don't remember seeing that one. It sounds funnny.

Yes,I think they were married.People see scandales everywhere;)

Well, she's still a virgin in my SG1/IDoJ crossover. She's going to have a little talk, the day before the wedding, with Roger and Samantha Carter (the new girl in his life). I may have R & S going at it, but Tony & Jeannie are still pure and sweet. Awwww...

(Speaking of Tony, go to my link below about this crossover. In "Endeavor to SGC", when they locate Jeannie, one of her abductors makes the mistake of punching Jeannie in the face... and Tony goes berserk on the guy. As Roger says in his diary about that, "I am so glad he's my best friend.")

Ummmmm...you have a lot of time on your hands, don't you? ;)

Just because they were married doesn't mean they were sleeping together. Remember Rob and Laura Petrie were married and they had twin beds and they had a son. :D

Well somebody was hopping in with someone!! No wonder they were both so thin!! ;) :lol:

The episode in question was Season 5's "Mrs. Djinn-Djinn." By then, Tony and Jeannie had been married a number of episodes. Roger was the one that saw the doggy vitamins on the bedside table, which were labeled "Vitamins for Pregnancy", and he assumed they were Jeannie's and that she was pregnant. He spilled the beans...incorrectly....to Tony while he was at work. Of course it's the magical dog that's pregnant, but no one realizes that before throwing a baby shower for the "parents to be".

Yes, in the 1985 movie, Tony and Jeannie have an 11 or 12 year old son, Tony Jr "T.J." In 1991 he's about to graduate from high school and has a speech to give, so Jeannie is trying to find out where Tony is (in space) so she can blink him back to hear it. In the meantime, she's got to get a temporary master.

Ummmmm...you have a lot of time on your hands, don't you? ;)

LOL, I do, yes. From being unemployed (and I'm still jobhunting, THEN taking time to write fanfic.)

CAJeannie/Donna and I email quite often, about Bill Daily and his characters of Roger and Howard, so she's keeping me on my toes.

I'm currently into writing Greatest American Hero fic, but Roger's not forgotten. I'm sure my IDOJ Muse will hit again.

Just because they were married doesn't mean they were sleeping together. Remember Rob and Laura Petrie were married and they had twin beds and they had a son. :D

But Tony only had that one bed. :grineyes: Unless she foolishly kept sleeping in her bottle.

Were'nt they married in that episode? It's fine if they were married.

That was conjecture at best...what they did before they were married. Sidney Sheldon vows and declares that she slept in her bottle, Tony in his double bed. That's what was acceptable in the 1960s in TV. By the time IDOJ hit the airwaves in 1965, couples had JUST been allowed to be seen in the same bed. (Remember, in the late 50s and early 60s, Lucy and Desi, and Rob and Laura, were both married couples sleeping in twin beds. It was unacceptable to see even marrieds in the same bed.) It was pushing the limits just to have Jeannie trot into Tony's bedroom before they were married - and he ALWAYS grabbed a robe (or tried to).

Donna

...but I also know there HAD to be one good reason Tony allowed Jeannie to stay in his house, in her bottle.....or several............what do YOU think she did after she confined him to her bottle AFTER the end of "There Goes the Best Genie I Ever Had"?

;)

I've been watching the Jeannie episodes one by one online, and am on Season 4 now. There is a very cute innuendo at the end of s4 e17, "Jeannie, the Governor's Wife," where after all the typical Jeannie created chaos has been resolved, she apologizes to Tony and asks what she can do to make it up to him. Tony snickers in a very sly way and says, "I'll think of something," and then puts his arms around her and gives Jeannie a prolonged kiss.


Roger then says, "Well, you know what they say about politics." (They make strange bedfellows.)

Nice scene for Jeannie/Tony fans, indeed!

Yeah, that cracks me up, because how much more does a robe cover up vs is jammies? Sometimes he was in boxers and T's, but even in his pj's he would grab a robe........or at least that's what I think I remember.
I never really took notice about the bottle vs the bed after they were married.
Did we ever see her in her bottle after they married? Or did he still try to be the master?
She never used the term "master" after they were married did she?

It just so happens that both Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden were oppsed to the idea of Major Nelson and Jeannie getting married. They thought it would take away from the show. It must have because that was the last season.

Maybe the actors were right, or maybe it was just that the writers didn't really try. Look at the quality of writing that we were given in the fifth season, even before the marriage. Too many lackluster and downright bad episodes. It's as if they were actively sabotaging the show.

There's no reason at all why a married Jeannie and Tony couldn't have worked. I don't buy that "jump the shark" crap because that's like saying a show (or a story) can only be one way and never evolve. Good writing would have saved the show and possibly gotten us a sixth season. We wouldn't be second-guessing whether the marriage did it in or not because it would have been a success instead. Everything hinges on the writing. Even if the actors don't believe in it, they still have to say their lines as written ;)

Here's an example of something that happened in an episode that leaves plenty to the imagination, and it happened in the first season!

At the end of the episode "The Yacht Murder Case" after Roger has left, Tony sits down on the couch, uncorks the bottle and Jeannie rises to the top, saying "I am ready!"

Tony replies, "Okay, Jeannie. Where do you want to go?" At that same moment, the phone rings and Tony turns to get it. However, Jeannie has other plans.

"Where we will not be interrupted!" she says, dropping back inside of her bottle and turning Tony into smoke, bringing him in with her.

The show fades at that point so we are left with the idea that Tony and Jeannie spend the full weekend in her bottle. My mind goes to the obvious, partly because with the episode over, there's nothing left to 'censor'. But also because talking will only go so far in a cozy little bottle and a sexy djinni to share it with ;)

...a scene showing Tony entering Jeannie's bottle (especially with her inside) was one of NBC's strict prohibitions they warned Sidney Sheldon about before the series began ["Tony must never be seen entering Jeannie's bottle"]. I'm quite certain the network informed him after the episode aired, "Don't you ever show a scene like that again!!!!". And, of course, he agreed- until the end of "Happy Anniversary", when they celebrate their first year together inside her bottle [under "extreme" circumstances]...yet we never see them sharing the same bottle until early in the fifth season (since they were engaged to be married, I suppose the network just "overlooked" it).

There were many "regulations" NBC forced upon Sidney, yet he gradually "ignored" them to the point where the network stopped objecting...like the occasional scene when Jeannie enters "Master's" bedroom while he's occupying it {the first time she did that in "Watch the Birdie", he sputters, "I thought I told you never to come in without knocking!!"}. By the time she floats in with his breakfast at the beginning of "There Goes the Best Genie I Ever Had", he's not objecting...and neither did NBC.


:tv:

I'm quite certain the network informed him after the episode aired, "Don't you ever show a scene like that again!!!!".
It doesn't matter how the network reacted here. This has to do with the story as presented to us and the fact that it has now been established that Tony and Jeannie share her bottle from time to time. It doesn't matter if the network doesn't allow it on any subsequent episodes, it's established with the viewers that more is going on between episodes than meets the eye ;)

There were also times when Jeannie did things to Tony that are suggestive. For example, when she's floating on the towel over the patio. He demands she comes down there, while her reply is an almost seductive "Come up here!" and blinks him into his swimming trunks. Trunks, which most viewers know have nothing else on underneath. What about when Jeannie blinked him into nothing but a towel and locked outside at the end of "My Hero". Tony had to get back inside eventually, with or without that towel, and with or without Jeannie's help. Either way, that's all he's got on and Jeannie made it that way :grineyes:

You know, maybe Sidney was getting back at executives, or maybe it was just his own subconscious coming through, like many writers, and the scene worked so he left it alone. I'm always going to go with the story as it's presented. What goes on in the background after the fact is of no concern to how I see the whole story. Once it's been done, that it; it's now in the story forever.

So, back to the original question: were they sleeping together or had done so before they married? I think so, and long before the fifth season. Too many suggestive instances and downright overt examples to think otherwise. To me, only those that continue to think of the relationship between Tony and Jeannie in this kind of "purist" mentality will think otherwise. I'm going to go with reality, at least as presented to me and all its hints :D

Never? Not even post marriage?
