Hmmmm...to me, comparing these two shows is like comparing apples and oranges. One was a light, fluffy, fantasy sitcom and the other was a soap opera with plenty of adult themes.

However, Larry Hagman was quite adept at playing both the romantic hero and the amoral villain - a testament as to how talented and versatile and actor he really was. I just think it's a shame he never won an Emmy (though I do think he received a Golden Globe or more).

I've never seen Dallas, but I've loved I Dream of Jeannie since I was 8 years old when I saw it for the first time on Nick at Nite. So, that's what I voted for.

I voted for "Jeannie" since I watched a lot more of it than Dallas. Butr as Monika pointed out Larry was able to play both roles well!

I'm not surprised IDOJ is winning because this is a sitcom site. I'd probably put IDOJ in my top five favorite sitcoms from the 1960's.

I've probably seen less than 5 episodes of IDoJ in their entirety and almost all of Dallas.

The only episode of Dallas I ever watched was the one where we found out Christine shot JR.

I was one of 80,000,000 "Innocent Bystanders".

Dallas was my choice, but I also liked I Dream of Jeannie.

Part of this in my case may be because even though I was only 3 years old when the 60's ended, I have always been fascinated with that decade and my favorite tv shows are predominantly from the 60's.
