Was there ever a black I dream of jeannie?

Answer 1

No. There are obvious reasons. Both lead male characters were Field-Grade officers of the Air Force, and astronauts. there were no Black astronauts at the time Jeannie was filmed. Indeed there were few blacks in Service comedies aside from the stereotyped role of the radio operator, which doesn"t make much dialogue, right, mostly working undercover in code/ Also a Black Jeannie implied well, a different sort of (Black Magic) the audience was not ready for. Neat idea in a sense- there was a Black (fairy Godmother) in one Cinderella adaptation- I believe the actress was Lena Horne, but that is different than a service comedy. end transmission! There was never a black I Dream of Jeannie, and there were no black astronauts at the time in real life. However, there were black service men who worked for NASA in I Dream of Jeannie, including in the NASA control room during Tony's flights. There was also a black mail man who was featured in several episodes.
