TeleTales #58…Hauling Ass Into History! A Dream Of Jeannie?

What does this picture of a donkey in the backseat have to do with television history? Actually, quite a lot.

This is a publicity shot for a 1964 movie called “The Brass Bottle” which costarred Barbara Eden. Although she did not play the genie that lived in the bottle, her appearance in the film led to her being cast in the television show that was a spin off of this movie…”I Dream Of Jeannie” which debuted in 1965.

    They must have really beefed up the rear suspension. The donkey weights about 1100# and the rear isn’t even sagging.

    While it has nothing to do with TV… check out the S&H Green Stamp store in the background. Don’t see those anymore.

    Whatever happened to that movie? It used to be shown occasionally independent TV stations.
