Remco did some toys in the 70s, they all said "I Dream of Jeannie" (the cartoon was called "Jeannie") but the box art didn't show Barbara Eden.

It bugged me to no end that she was a redhead on the cartoon. I remember seeing the cartoon a few times in the 70s, but mostly remember the crossover with "The New Scooby-Doo Movies".
Call me nuts, but I always preferred Elizabeth Montgomery to Barbara Eden. I like smart chicks. It's why I married one!!!

The biggest thing I remember about the cartoon wasd Joe Besser

Jeannie was naive about modern culture (Well, 60s culture) but was far from stupid.Originally Posted by Earth 2 Chris
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
I didn't say she was stupid, but they played the "dumb blonde who is smarter than everyone else" card there with Jeannie. Sam (Bewitched) was just portrayed as classy smart. She normally didn't cause the trouble around her, she just had to fix it before the neighbors found out or Darrin went bat-crap nuts.
