It would be really cool if that breakfast I’m craving would cook itself.
Which calls to mind the age-old question: Who would you rather be? Samantha or Jeannie?
Who goes there? Please leave comments so (An Aries Knows)!

Tough call, there. I can’t do the Samantha nose twitch…I’d have to do it manually, or do the ear tug thing…but on the other hand, there’s no way in hell I could pull off the Jeannie costumes.
Overall, I’d have to say Samantha. At least she didn’t have to call her significant other “Master” all the time.
Oh, I’d totally be Samantha. I wouldn’t have to be subservient. I wouldn’t be locked in a bottle all day. I would always have the knowledge, in the back of my head, that if Durwood every really ticked me off, I could tinka tinka tee him out of existence and still be quite happy. But hey…that’s just me.
Absolutely Samantha! She got an actual wardrobe as opposed to a two-piece, pink jeannie get-up. Plus, the nose thing is much less obvious than the overlapped arms/bobble head thing Jeannie does. Oh, and Rhonda says that I have a really cute nose crinkle. 😉
There are days I’m convinced the Samantha/Jeannie debate is the only important question. Centuries from now, when injustice and hunger and disease and war are put away where they belong, I hope people lounge around and this is the only question left to upset their tranquility. Plus, people’s answers are always funny. Sort of a great thought on MLK Day!
(“You know what would be really cool?” is one of those irresistable sentences that make you read further. It’s innate with you, isn’t it?)
have to be samantha…that whole master thing just wouldn’t fly with me.
and the jeannie outfit is just a bit too girly for me.
Samantha. She was much stronger and more intelligent than Jeannie.
No master, ever.
Samantha was still held in captivity though. She had to stop her powers because of the Darin’s issues with it. I think that was taking a part of her and trying to squelch it. Any man/person did that to me, and there would be a huge fight. I also think that her mother was very controlling, not to mention meddling. I actually feel badly for BOTH women here.
I would want to be more Samantha, but at the same time, I would rather make the breakfast myself than have to put up with someone telling me what I can or can not do. 😛
That said, how about just having a nice friend make the breakfast for you, or Mr. Becky? Or if you want powers, let’s say we would like to be like the women in Practical Magic…
They had margaritas at midnight, danced by the light of the moon, stirred coffee without actually touching the spoon. I liked them. Independent, strong, fun, smart, and loving. Cool.
I am thinking I put too much thought into that.
Samantha, but I’d spend a lot of time using my powers to kick Darrin’s ass. I’m way to claustrophobic to be Jeannie in that teeny, tiny bottle.
Samantha, of course. Two husbands, a larger-than-life mother (Agnes Morehouse), fun relatives (Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostly, etc.) and kids, cute clothes, no master, cool ‘sister’ Serena, and a much better theme song. Not to mention Gladys Kravitz across the street…
You sir are a genius as you basically stole the words right out of my mouth…..I mean it is almost spooky what you listed, as I had the same thoughts! Great minds must think a like! 😉
So yay, what he said Becky, plus, me in a belly button exposing outfit is just something none of us needs to experience!
Jeannie. I’d rather hang with Tony Nelson and Howard Borden than that brat, Tabitha.
Samantha. Jeannie could be slapped into a bottle.
I have to say Samantha…I chose her even before reading anyone else’s reply!
Reasons:
A. Smarter and more stylish
B. Was in love AND loved in return by Darren.
C. Darren was gay!
D. The relatives
E. Sam and Darren were such a great couple. And let’s face it the show WAS about gay people. It just was!
Samantha. I don’t have the abs to pull off Jeannie’s costume.
Actually the SAM in SAMDEWINTER comes from Samantha.
I think that Samantha just “yes-sired” Darren and did as she pleased, in that “whatever ” sort of way. Then there is Cousin Sarina ( although didn’t Jeannie have an evil cousin too?) Endora, Dr Bombay, and Uncle Authur… she was also a cartoon on The Flinstones, and a 9 foot statue erected to her in Salem Mass — also I am going to be gross here …. Samantha got two Dicks, not just one.
Linda. 😛
Ha. Good answer.
