In Season 1, Jeannie's harem costume is different than in later seasons. Her top is different. In Season 1 she had one whole piece as her top, in season 2 and beyond, it was two pieces. Why is that? I just happened to notice that. I wonder why they changed that part of her costume and nothing else. If anyone can answer this please do!
Also I noticed that her skirts seemed to get shorter in later seasons as well. In Season 1 her dresses and skirts were longer but as time went on they got shorter. In Season 5 from what I have seen on You Tube, they are very short. I also noticed that she wore her harem costume less after she and Tony got married. The costume designers had her in some really cute outifts. When you saw Barbara in those, you almost forgot that she was playing a genie because she sure didn't look like one.
I remember what Barbara has said in numerous interviews about the show. She has said that Jeannie wasn't a real woman, she was an entity. She was a genie. But she thought she was real. When we see her in those outfits we thought she was real too. It was kind of hard not to think of Jeannie as a real person. She may have had powers and lived in a bottle but in every other aspect she was a woman. LOL. That's why the censors had such a problem with a "woman" and a man living together and not being married. The truth was, Jeannie wasn't a woman; not techinically anyway.
Anyway, to get back to the subject of my thread.
If anyone can tell me why they changed Jeannie's costume after season 1, it would be greatly appreciated! ;D Thanks!
