Last outing for the jealous Jeannie

[kevinolzak · 6/10 · 30 November 2016]

"Eternally Yours, Jeannie" was one final example of 'Jealous Jeannie,' this time finding a letter from his hometown of Fowler's Corners, Ohio, addressed to her husband, 'Bunky' Nelson. Looking through his old yearbook she learns that Bonnie Crenshaw (Damian Bodie) was his high school sweetheart, and is still beautiful. Roger recently met up with one of his old high school friends, all grubby and fat: "changed a lot, huh?" "no that's the trouble, she hadn't changed at all!" Thinking that her husband married her on the rebound, and still in love with Bonnie, Jeannie blinks herself into an exact likeness of Bonnie, and while she asks to find Major Nelson's office he sees her do a little magic and realizes that his wife is jealous. Unfortunately for her, Roger refuses to let her get away, while the real Bonnie shows up in Tony's office, her jealous husband Moose Murphy (Denny Miller) not far behind.

Jeannie is jealous again

Jeannie's fits of jealousy became pretty tiresome. They became tiresome way back in the first season. This episode has one of the dumbest story lines of the series. Jeannie sees a picture of Tony's high school sweetheart, and what else? She's jealous. She also starts jumping to ridiculous conclusions. Like, even though Tony married Jeannie, it was really his high school sweetheart that he was thinking about. This wasn't funny. It was stupid. Now that I've criticized Jeannie, I'll pay her a compliment. She had nothing to be jealous about. The actress that played Bonnie wasn't even attractive, let alone the "beauty" she was being described as. Denny Miller appears as Bonnie's boyfriend, and plays the same kind of annoying character that he also played in a Brady Bunch episode. Only the reliable performances of Larry Hagman and Bill Daily make this episode funny at all. At the end of the episode, we see a character named Lt Dawson, played by Sally Ann Richards. I think Sally Ann should have played Bonnie. If that had been the case, I would have, at least, understood why Jeannie got jealous.
