Alright... here it is - the question that has been debated for over 50 years. We finally decide once and for all. Which show was better? Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie?

I've seen a little of both shows on late night tv recently, and I go for Barbara Eden and Dream of , I also want a write-in vote for Mary Ann , no dis against Ginger, just sayin
 
Elizabeth Montgomery was way hotter than Barbara Eden.

OP, what about The Nanny and the Professor? Wouldn't that be a "magical mistress" show too? She was actually a magical nanny akin to Mary Poppins, but there was some level of unspoken romance implied between her and the widower father.

I'm a Barbara Eden man myself, so I can identify. Plus, that whole Samantha/Darrin thing never rang true for me. Waaaay out of his league.

Truth be told, the only reason I put this poll up was because it seems like this debate has been going on forever.... I can remember being 5 years old in the mid-70's and discussing this one with my buddies. And seems to keep coming back every now and again. A couple of days ago, some guy wanted to debate me on it again. So to finally put this one to rest, I put up the poll, gave it a one-week deadline, once and for all... winner take all.

BTW - I've always had a thing for redheads, so it was Ginger for me.

Never actually saw that one.... but I wasn't actually around in the 60's (I was born in '70). Was it ever in syndication?

Grrrr.... I thought about putting in an "Other" choice as well... but then I thought "Were there really three of these shows?"

Ooohhh... just looked it up - apparently it didn't debut until 1970 (like me) *L*.

Nanny and the Professor was only on for a short time in the early '70s.

Bewitched.
 
I've been a "Bewitched" fan since I was a child. Still watch to this day.

My first daughter's name is Tabitha. :)

I watched "Jeannie" also, but Samantha is far more feisty with Darren. I never could wrap my head around the whole "Master" bullshit that came with Jeannie.

I knew someone was going to bring that up!

Can't we just chalk the "master" thing up to a cultural difference?

You left out Nanny and the Professor, she had ESP, same with The Girl with Something Extra.

And, of course, My Mother the Car.
 
Samantha always had a brain, and most importantly, she had free will. Jeannie was a ditz, and she had no free will, she had to be subservient to her "Master", she was contractually bound.

And, Uncle Arthur was awesome.
