"Bewitched" used a 1966 copyright for all color seasons until the replacement of Dick York by Dick Sargent necessitated a new opening. I HAVE noticed that the latest syndication package of this show has modified the copyright date (from MCMLXVI to MCMLXIV on b/w episodes still using the third season opening). This could be the explanation for the MCMLXVII copyright on "Jeannie"

Leslie, that particular video that the link takes you to in my original post, it is blurry. It actually does say MCMLXVI.
In the case of
Bewitched, the season 6 opening title (with MCMLXIX copyright) carried on through to the final episode in 1972.
The Flying Nun has a 1967 copyright date (MCMLXVII) and I believe that was used on all seasons of the show, since it was not as popular as either
Bewitched or
Jeannie.
