Listen to me on TV CONFIDENTIAL:
As always, the further we go back in Hollywood history, the more that fact and legend become intertwined. It's hard to say where the truth really lies.
October 20, 1985 -
The movie "I Dream of Jeannie: 15 Years Later" aired.
I
Dream of Jeannie... Fifteen Years Later is a 1985 made-for-television
film produced by Columbia Pictures Television which
premiered on NBC on
October 20, 1985. It is the first of two reunion films based on the
1965–70 sitcom I Dream of Jeannie.
Barbara
Eden reprises her world-famous role as the magical Jeannie; also
reprising their roles from the original series were Bill Daily as
Tony's fellow astronaut and best friend Roger Healy, and Hayden
Rorke (in his final film role) as NASA psychiatrist Dr. Alfred
Bellows. The role of Tony Nelson was played by Wayne
Rogers, best known for his role as Trapper John McIntyre on the 1970s
series M*A*S*H. Larry
Hagman was unavailable to reprise his role as Tony Nelson reportedly
because he was too busy filming his CBS series Dallas at the time.
The
film was directed by William Asher (who was also director of the
1960s show Bewitched) and the teleplay was written by Irma Kalish.
October 23, 1925
Talk show host Johnny Carson is born in Corning, Iowa.
After studying journalism in college, Carson began
working in radio and television. He began writing for TV shows in the 1950s and
hosted his own show, Carson's Cellar, in 1951. He began occasionally
guest hosting for Jack Paar on The Tonight Show and became the show's
permanent host in 1962. He retired in 1992 and died in Los Angeles on January
23, 2005.
To quote the Bicentennial Minute, "And that's the way it was".
