Fantasy Fridays: An astronaut in........Persia? (I Dream of Jeannie, 1965)

 From season 1 of I Dream of Jeannie:

On impulse, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) transports Tony (Larry Hagman) to ancient Persia. Chaos erupts, of course. Richard Kiel & Henry Corden guest star, with the latter as Jeannie's father.


As you know, Corden would remain with Screen Gems to do work for Hanna-Barbera, and a recurring role beginning the next year on The Monkees. Can't really tell if someone, like, maybe, Ted Cassidy, dubbed over Kiel's lines.......

Fantasy Fridays returns next month with some legit Friday the 13th scares. Family Fridays will be back after that.
