Title: Why bother?
Review: Why in the world would any author write about a subject he/she so detested? That's the real question with this book. I don't get it.The photos are a great addition, as are what little behind-the-scenes trivia exists. There's an awful lot of non-Jeannie "padding," as if the author couldn't find enough to write about the show and just stuck in some "stuff" to fill in space- like a whole chapter of an irrelevent real-life death, and the entire end chapter on "Bewitched," of all things!.Worst of all, though, is the entire beginning of the book, with its constant drivel about how terrible the show was. Well, I was there in 1964. I watched the Jeannie shows when they were first-run. It was NOT terrible then, and it's still pretty cute today.So, the question remains: Why in the world would anyone write an entire book that was obviously geared to a show's fans, when he/she couldn't say much nice about it? Sounds pretty ridiculous to me.
