I Dream of Jeanie 20, Bewitched 38
I’ll have the next round up shortly.
A couple personal comments and observations:
-Biggest disappointment is the early departure of ‘The Office,’ ‘Scrubs’ and ‘30 Rock.’
-Biggest surprise: The trouncing ‘Bewitched’ gave to ‘Jeanie.’ Who’d have thought a hot, subserviant and scantily-clad genie would beat out a head-strong witch of a housewife?
-Biggest blow-outs: ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ over ‘Small Wonder,’ and ‘Seinfeld’ over ‘A Different World.’
-Most surprising show not to score in double digits: ‘Sanford & Son.’ However, it was going up against powerhouse ‘MASH.’
