The cat's out of the bag! And maybe today's the right day for it, seeing as how it's Barbara Eden's 74th birthday! Although Sony isn't formally announcing it until Monday, word got out earlier today - thanks to
Amazon's pre-order entry - that
November 4th will see the DVD release of
I Dream of Jeannie - The Complete Series. The 20-disc set will include all 139 episodes from the show's 5-season run, plus the 1985 reunion telefilm "
I Dream of Jeannie: 15 Years Later".
On the down side, the 1991 reunion telefilm "
I Still Dream of Jeannie" doesn't appear to be included. Also, the first season was originally shown in black and white, and that season was released on DVD both in a black and white version, and a separate colorized version. But we have no word yet as to which version of these episodes will be included on this set. However, rumors say that it will be the colorized version, instead of the correct original versions.
Video will be full frame. Audio will be English, Spanish and Portuguese. There will be subtitles in Spanish and Portuguese as well. As you can see in our exclusive first-look pics below, the plan is that the discs will be stored inside the base of a package that resembles Jeannie's bottle, with a top that comes off. That "bottle-case" will then go inside a clear plastic "box" that forms the rest of the packaging that will go on store shelves. Now, keep in mind that all of these details come from an early alert to retailers; this package design is not finalized yet, and could still be subject to change.
