The airwaves are littered with the rotting corpses of Jeannie-wannabes (USA's "Weird Science", "You Wish", "Just Our Luck", et al.) trying -- and failing -- to capture the magic of the original.
Jeannie had something Samantha lacked: ATTITUDE. Jeannie is one character that, IMO, will never go out of date; she was nowhere near as domesticated as Samantha. Jeannie had charm, spunk, nerve, and guts -- qualities that were sorely lacking in many of her her pretenders. This is to say nothing of the great Barbara Eden filling her harem pants.
Jeannie is a classic character who will never go out of style.
