I DREAM OF JEANNIE
A great show of the 60"s
What really makes this show great? ( Besides Barbara Eden)
Unforgettable theme.
You know they use about ten different little tunes as a score every episode.
When they enter the house they use an altered version of the theme.
When Dr Bellows questions something they use this quizzical tune ( my favourite)
When Tony goes to NASA there's a military band.
For Slapstick they have this up tempo bit.
Then there's incidental music when there's more serious dialogue building the plot.
Occasionally they use a 60's cool type tune to hurry things up.
and a few others,
and that is why it's so good.
Possibly only 2 minutes of silence per show.
This show is has the best score of all TV shows, and it ticks all the other boxes as well.
"Multi-reasonably talented" "The most prolific, undiscovered, ok talent in the history of Brisbane". I've been knocking on the door of production houses, TV stations and film bodies for 35 years plus without anyone taking much interest. I gave stand up a go and although I did well at it I could see in Brisbane it was a road to nowhere. 15 film scripts 3 sitcom pilots plus episodes. One 6 part mocumentary series Hundreds of comedy sketches Hours of stand up material.
