The May 22, 2022 episode featured Stewart Berkowitz's massive TV collection including an original Jeannie and Jeannie sister complete costumes. He stated that they were found in storage years after being lent out for an "Arabian" themed event, but were never returned.

This is interesting because at one time Barbara Eden mentioned several costumes did go missing because they were lent out and never returned.

Berkowitz also paid $15,000 for an "original" prop bottle that clearly does not resemble one from the show (especially in the base coat paint). Years ago there was a person who claimed to have worked on the first IDOJ reunion movie who also claimed to own an "original" prop bottle that looked very much like this one. His bottle was not genuine either and I bet this is it.

I saw that episode. I was so happy to see "I Dream Of Jeannie" featured in the segment. I think there was a wax figurine of Major Nelson as well.
