I havent seen "The Lucy Show" enough to judge.

But as for "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie" -- they were very different, although not to the naked eye.

Major Nelson completely supported Jeannie's use of magic.
While Darren forbidden Samantha from using hers.

Major Healy knew about Jeannie for most of the series run.
Whereas Darren told NOBODY about Samantha's powers, and there was a conflict with Endora.

Ultimately -- I like "Bewitched" better, although I like both shows, along with "I Love Lucy" -- and I would really like to see "The Lucy Show" sometime soon.

Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeannie, since they both involved the supernatural.

Plus Samantha had a lookalike relative named Serena and Jeannie had her identical twin, also named Jeannie. Both relatives were bad girls with dark hair, and they were dual roles played by the show's stars.

I do agree that Bewitched and Jeannie had many differences if you stratched beneath the surface.

I've never seen The Lucy Show so I can't comment there.

Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeannie were more alike for the above reasons. ILL and TLS were completely different.
