All first-season episodes were originally filmed in black and white, but were colorized subsequently for the Sony DVD releases and some syndication airings.

Note: The signature head-nod-and-blink with arms crossed in an uplifted pose indicates that Jeannie is invoking magic. (In some cases she leaves her arms unmoved.) For this article, we use the term "blink" to denote that her literal eye blink is associated with an act of magic.
