I Dream of Jeannie is an American sitcom with a fantasy premise. The show starred Barbara Eden as a 2,000-year-old genie, and Larry Hagman as an astronaut who becomes her master, with whom she falls in love and eventually marries.
Produced by Screen Gems, the show originally aired from September 1965 to May 1970 with new episodes, and through September 1970 with season repeats, on NBC. The show ran for five seasons and produced 139 episodes. The first season consisted of 30 episodes filmed in black and white.
The series was created and produced by Sidney Sheldon in response to the great success of rival network ABC's Bewitched series, which had debuted in 1964 as the second most watched program in the United States. Sheldon, inspired by the movie The Brass Bottle, which had starred Tony Randall, Barbara Eden, and Burl Ives as the genie Fakrash, came up with the idea for a beautiful female genie. Both I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched were Screen Gems productions.
This almost made me cry. I remember being little and my mom just got her first apartment and she’d play this on her computer for us.
Beautifull memories..bless your heart
“On her computer” really caught me by surprise
@@FIstof7LEGEND oh yeah lmaoo this was like in 2011 😭
@@danielcruz8347 bless yours too ❤️
I watched this in June, 2020 on Zee studio on the tv. My dad would get uncomfortable watching the kissing scenes 😂 but overall my parents likes it
"She wanted to have fun, and she wanted to have it with Captain Nelson. ...And there in this house, the girl in the bottle played spin the astronaut."
That last sentence is one of the funniest lines any sitcom intro ever said!
@cloudtoground There was no sexual revolution in 1965, the first season of IDoJ when that line was spoken by the announcer at 1:45. Very tame words, a variant on the game spin the bottle, where the only requirement is kiss the person the bottle points to. Kissing was not something new, or part of the sexual revolution.
@cloudtoground True on the birth control pill date, but that invention was not widespread in use (expensive at first, as most new things were until mass production brought the price down to where the masses could afford it) by most women until later in the decade. The country was still very conservative on sex outside of marriage in 1965, and it wasn't until the 1967 "Summer of Love" did the sexual revolution start to take-off to having single girls "allowed" to enjoy sex as much as guys were.
@cloudtoground 🤣🤣🤣
@@freeguy77 🤣🤣🤣 best comments ever. Guys talking about women 😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣
@@SundayCookingRemix About the same as what has been the case for eternity with men and women. Women talking about guys, the same as it has always been the main topic on Earth!
I don't know how I ended up watching this show as a kid because it came out like a decade before I was born but somehow when I was little I watched this show. I don't regret it
Loved this show! Absolutely adorable. Larry Hagman was so funny and Barbara Eden is just lovely.
Lance Dukel Barbara Eden was in her 30s doing this show.
@@jimogrady1131 now she’s 91
I’m in my late 30’s and I so miss shows like this….Even though they were made well before I was born! I remember the re-runs.
Anyone else the same? 🤷🏻♂️
I remember watching it in the 1960s running to my mum telling her Jennie has a evil twin sister when she told me it was Barbara Eden in a wig I kept arguing the opposite eventually she gave up on me.
SURE do and it was great !!!
Me too! This 90s kid loves Bewitched and I dream of Jeanie! And these shows were actually funny! No laugh track!
I was a 90s kid and I watched the show too
Barbara Eden, born in Tucson, Arizona on August 23, 1931, is an American film, stage and television actress, and singer, best known for her starring role of "Jeannie" in the sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. She is celebrating her 89th birthday today August 23, 2020
I don't know why, but for some reason I assumed she was born in the 60's because that's the time I associate her with.
Barbara Eden was also named 1 of 5 most beautiful women on TV in the 60's. Others were Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched), Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek), Marlo Thomas (That Girl), Diahann Carol (Julia).
@@curtischildress9580 Where is Mary Tyler Moore (Laura Petrie) of The DIck Van Dyke Show?
@@VILJL Mary Tyler Moore covered the 50's and 60's and 70's on TV...and she was definitely beautiful. Those 5 women mentioned as the most beautiful on TV during the 60's truly were actresses who dominated TV during that decade. It seems like People Magazine or some other famous magazine put out this list a long time ago along with naming groups of 5 women famous in different areas like politics and art and science and so on.
@@curtischildress9580 Nichelle Nicols? 🤣
Larry Hagman & Barbara Eden were both 34 when "I Dream of Jeannie" premiered!! I am stunned.
I would have never guessed that. She looked timeless...
@@rkernell Agreed.
@@alcoholic2412 It's just an observation that I found surprising, and you're not too bright yourself, there, Mr. Anti-Intel.
@@alcoholic2412 Whatever, Karen.
@@ajmittendorf 😥
I remember watching both I Dream Of Jeannie and Bewitched in syndication, they were such fun.
I have a surprise for you then, if you go to 1:54 you can see the bewitched home in the background.
You're right 😜 didn't catch that
That's because it was filmed on the Hollywood back lot. You can see the same places turning up in lots of films and TV shows from the 1940s to, well, they're probably still using them.@@monikagaming3316
Who was prettier though?
Rest In Peace, Major Anthony Nelson.

Didn't Larry Hagman die in 2012? Not April 26 2020.
The classics! Why can’t cartoons and shows be like this anymore
Why cant the WORLD be like this anymore?? Modern society sucks sigh
What I have done is I have on dvds and blu rays all of the shows from the 60's and early 70's.
I play them every night and never watch new TV programming. I have become my own network....and Love it !
Because people make the legacy,legends,myths thus the realities without the people things die off soon forgotten yet many remain with the new and young because the elders got their message across generations.
@@MrScottx Agreed... I'm totally doing the same thing... I grew up in those eras of classic vintage TV commercials..shows... cartoons... movies.. and music only stuff from the 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s.... I live in the past
Don't like anything from 2000 to present future sucks.... coming from a 58 yr old Boomer.
The art style is simple enough to be easily replicated by modern animation technology. Late 90's cartoons like PowerPuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory did that. Also Harvey Birdman.
So... why nobody makes cartoons or at least short animations in 60's animation style? I love this simple style.
Depatie-Freleng was the studio that was contacted to animate the opening title which is what that art style represents such as their Pink Panther cartoons or the Depatie-Freleng WB cartoons from 1964 to 1967.
@@looneytunes9000 For a long time I thought it was Hanna Babera who had done sister show Bewitched.
@@umarbentley4953 Hanna-Barbara did the opening animated titles for Bewitched as they were affiliated with Columbia Pictures through Screen Gems(as TV subsidiary at the time, originally a cartoon studio, currently a movie studio subsidiary of Sony Pictures) throughout the late 50’s and most of the 1960’s.
Have you seen Wandavision?
I remember being a toddler and completely enthralled with the episodes that showed the inside of Jeanne's bottle. I also remember wishing magic would end up being real, despite my mother always insisting otherwise. (In hindsight, it was good that she didn't entertain my obsession, yet continuing to encourage my imagination.)
Well, it's alright to believe in the reality of magic, at least at a certain age. What I would tell my child is "Magic is technology, and technology is magic. So magic does exist."
I had the same experience. I literally wanted to live inside that bottle. I even tried jumping inside of my cousin’s bottle of hairspray 😂
@@jayln12productionz Of course it didnt work
it wasnt a genie lamp
Mind boggling fantastic, epic just amazing television from the Golden age of TV. The acting, directing, special effects, chemistry between characters, will never be anytime like that again
Rest in Peace:
Larry Hagman
Hayden Rourke
Bill Daly
Also Sidney Sheldon
You forgot Emmaline Henry(Mrs.Bellows)
They all wished there were no invisible dogs.
It was telecasted in India in the 90s when cable television was on boom. I was in 4th grade and used to watch it before going to school..
Mee too! It was re-ran here in the states in the early to mid 90s along with Bewitched and loved watching before school! 😀😉🎵🎶🎶✨
You are my brothers from 90s 😃 And did you guys watched Dennis the Menace and Three Stooges too on Sony ? Aahh the nostalgia attack !!
Ankur Kulshreshtha lol yeah..those were the days..
Me to....aahhhhh those old days..... and after that... "Bewitched"
All good shows like sindbad
Mowgli
Scooby doo and many more
The narrator is Paul Frees, who did a huge amount of voice work from the 1950s on. He might be most famous as the "Ghost Host" from the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
Paul was originally a radio actor in the 1940's....and soon branched out into movies and TV. His voice was SO distinctive, you could tell right away when he was involved.
I was so mesmerised by Barbara Eden's beauty when I was a kid.💗👱🏻♀️
you weren't the only one!
I remember watching this on Nick-at-nite in the 90s. I always thought Jeanie looked hella fine.
I used to watch it in syndication in the mid-1970s.
Some people remember Larry Hagman as J. R. And some of us remember him as Tony. 🙂
Never seen the introductory stuff before: fantastic and this show brings back happy memories for me. I think we all Dream(ed) of Jeannie lol
The introductory stuff was just taken out. In fact the Network Suits demanded it since well, they thought it was unusual for a guy and a girl to live in a house unmarried, and it was just ridiculous.
One day a friend brought a TV themes of the 60s cassette to a party. When he played this one we all got up and danced to it. Was a scream!😂
Loved this show. Now i finally own it on dvd. Who wouldn't want to have a Jeannie like that?
I remember as a kid coming home from grammar School, I couldn't wait to get home. By the time I get there, instead of doing my home work as soon as I got there, my Mom would let me watch I Dream Of Jeannie and BeWitched. First time I watch them in black and white, was no big deal. Then one day as I came home, they were in color. I thought wow, in color. For I Dream Of Jeannie, as it ended, as they showed the credits, the back ground was Blue. I loved the color blue. And BeWitched, as she flew off on her broom after kissing Darren, the sky was a darker blue on count it was night.
Wayne Brock - I remember being a toddler and having seen I Dream of Jeannie in black & white, then magically the new television had the show in COLOUR!! My parents never did explain this phenomenon to me satisfactorily.
I think that most especially young males did lol
what is 'grammar school', anyway? (Heard it referenced in , 'Saving Private Ryan', but, no clue what it is..)
@@mdd1963 - Grammar school is usually a private boarding school. The kids live in dorms and study at the school. They are expensive and the discipline is usually very strict. Traditionally they are run by churches. In Australia the Grammar Schools were set up by the Anglican Church (Church of England). However the schools do produce good grades and will get their students into most universities. They are necessary for parents who live in areas that are not serviced by schools, particularly the Australian Outback.
@@HistoryGe3k Thanks for the info, I was curious...
At 1:54, I love the 'mountains' in the background of Cocoa Beach, which in reality has a max height of roughly 12 feet above sea level...
hibob418 interesting, not filmed in Cocoa Beach, like viewers thought at the time..
Exteriors were filmed at the Columbia {Warner} Ranch backlot....where there are HILLS in California.
it's a 'mythical' town called Cocoa Beach
I appreciate & am still astonished at my ability to just know what shows were classics when i was growing up. I’m 29 now & this show gives me nostalgia as if i was around for new episodes. Also part of a reason i became a brass player. I HAD to know how to play this & i did by the age of 14 & 2 years of playing the trumpet
I remember this intro scared me when I was little - I didn't like seeing the eyes in the bottle at the end.
I was too young to understand that the characterization of her outside the bottle kept her from being scary inside.
I would watch this show with my grandmama every morning it’s my fav old show to watch with her 🥰
We need shows like this today I think that's why our youth is so violent because what they watch on television as well we need good wholesome shows like I Dream of Jeannie and I Love Lucy The Lucy Show Etc
I always enjoyed the original introduction
I actually love the 1965-66 "I Dream Of Jeannie" theme, Because it's so uncommon from the regular theme. Though more melancholy, But classic......
"this guys" name is Paul Frees.
Never heard of him.
But you have heard him....
***** No, I have not.
A few examples: voice of Burgermeister Meisterburger ("Santa Claus is Coming to Town"), narrator at the end of "Beneath the Planet of the Apes", Boris Badenov ("Rocky and his Friends" or "The Bullwinkle Show"), Santa Claus/Traffic Cop/Man at the Ticket Booth ("Frosty the Snowman").....
I remember watching reruns of the old I Dream of Jeannie with my folks (especially my mom) when I was a kid. Back in 2010 when they were showing a rerun of I Dream of Jeannie on the TV in the hotel my mom and I were in while we were vacationing in Orlando at the time, my mom (who was born in 1960) proceeded to tell me that, when the show was popular when she was a kid, people had called her "Jeannie" (her real name is Jeania, pronounced "Jee-nuh")...which got old quick.
The extended "recap" opening was seen only in episodes two through eight, as NBC wanted creator/producer Sidney Sheldon to spell out to viewers that this was a FANTASY, and could NEVER happen in real life {i.e. a man and woman living together under the same roof without being married; the network was concerned some people might be offended by such a notion}. That's why Sidney also stressed the word "mythical" in Paul Frees' narration to the point of absurdity. Finally, as the show became an unexpected hit by October 1965, Sheldon insisted on restoring the original animated title- which the network finally allowed him to, in the ninth episode {"The Moving Finger"}.
interesting assertion..
*_In MY naked eyes, it's likely Barry deviously made up that info, but on the other hand, my naked eyes could definitely see it being true_*
@@LovingThese2EyesOfMine He's right. Barry knows a lot about IDoJ.
OK, good. Only a few years later, the world lost all morality, and there's been no looking back @@PattersonLundquist
Now days, couples living together is no big deal any more.
The animated opening was from season 2 which is used on all syndicated prints of seasons 2- 5. The copyright date is MCMLXVI -1966.
The black and white animated opening was copyrighted MCMLXV (1965). I remember in the 1970's, when I saw some of the early black and white episodes featured the SEASON 3 title (in black and white!).
@@fromthesidelines Which maybe the only Depatie-Freleng animated work in black and white outside of their theatrical cartoons because D-F-E was contacted to animate the opening title.
A season one animated can be easily spotted by the original (pre-Hugo Montenegro) theme song, and by the absence of cartoon Tony and his capsule.
This theme was sampled by Will Smith when he and Jazzy Jeff made their song "Girls ain't nothing but trouble".
JazzFan76 I heard it on Fresh Prince
Also for Dimples D - Sucker DJ.
also doopee time
I saw this and Bewitched when they were new.Great times back then.
I came here becoz i want to see again intro that i was see when i was child.
Good to finally have the backstory on how Jeannie and the astronaut ended up together. I watched the show occasionally as a kid but never even questioned that lol.
I'm here because it's 10 years later and this is still burned into my brain note for note. Cocoa Beach high school loves to play this at ALL their football games...
This series sure did have humor and Barbara Eden sure did look nice, too.
Here before all the "WondaVision" comments
omg i was literally thinking of that, I was watching ep 2 of WandaVision and the intro came on and I was like "this seems like a weird knockoff of the 'I Dream Of Jeannie' intro...?" So I came here to check if I was right lol
@@TheOddExplorers yeah, I noticed later haha
WANDAvision bitch
RIP, Captain Anthony Nelson
Így van,
I think in the black and white one he was a Captain and in the color one he was promoted to Major!!
@@davidmoore4019 I think you're right. I remember him being both ranks.
The impression I got when I watched this show back in the 60s (yes, I'm that old) was that they promoted him because of that spaceflight he went on (where he ended up on that island).@@davidmoore4019
Who else is here after seeing WandaVision episode 2?
🤣🤣🤣me
Me 😂 and I knew I would find this comment
me!!! this was all i could think about while watching the intro lol
Me!! And the first episode was based on The Dick Van Dyke show!
2nd episode was based on Bewitched, but ok.
Classic 60s TV ! Great memories ! Thanks for sharing !
Classic 60s TV.
One of the best things about reading the comments is looking to the right of the screen and seeing all the other I Dream Of Jeannie videos with Barbara Eden in the thumbnails.
Nostalgia is the Best and worst feeling
Barbara Eden....in that outfit...WOW
The animated Jeannie looks like a bratz doll.
Jeannie Bratz ^_^
All my repressed memories of my friends Bratz dolls just came back LOL you're right
That’s because it was animated by Depatie-Freleng.
Loved this show in the '60s. Was in love with Jeannie.
My sister found her bottle at a goodwill store looks like original 😀
Cute, and sentimental theme song.
Tony Nelson and JR Ewing are my two favorite Larry Hagman characters.
Warren it really is impressive how Larry Hagman’s career evolved from this to “Dallas” to some very serious dramatic film roles landed throughout the ‘90s and into the 2000s where he dazzled as a character actor of considerable gravitas ... I remember watching him in “Primary Colors” and being amazed!!
Larry Hagman was a very talented actor who could play the butt of jokes and be as ruthless as a grizzly bear as J.R.
beautiful.i llove from childhood.
Beautiful and amazing .
Nowadays there isn't so much of these great levels.
There were a lot of jealous housewives when this program came on and some very happy men. Of course, a lot of cold beds too.
You're not lying there.
😂😝😂 Makes me think of that episode of “The Kids Are Alright “ when Barbara Eden was singing “Spinning Wheel” and the mother was upset already about the microwave and this pushed her over the edge and she caused a power outage, of course the guys were upset 😂😝😂
All married couples beds are cold with or without I dream of Barbara eden
This just goes to prove the old expression “It’s okay to look, just don’t touch”!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
1:47 The helicopter and the cars in the street! The fact that all those were current modes of transportation when I was a little boy makes me old!
I remember Cape Kennedy as well. Years later, when the name went back to Cape Canaveral, a new area code was needed. Locals successfully lobbied for (321) after rocket launch countdowns.
The jazzy score of the first season is the best! And I've told this story online before: My first day of High School Typing class, Mr. Gordon Prieb tells us to type something out in two minutes. I'd used my Dad's typewriter for years so I had some experience and I typed out the intro ("Once upon a time, in a mythical place called Cape Kennedy...") we have here (that I had recorded on audio tape from afternoon reruns!) My partner I was sharing the desk with about freaked!
If ever they can replicate people in the future, It would be Barbara Eden in that Jeannie outfit, I would order 10 copies
Like they did with Lucy Liu in Futurama.
And there is that wonderful introduction theme~
Oh man, just watching the original opening scenes,...it HURT me because this era,...this great era in American television and entertainment will NEVER EVER return!!
What a amazing piece of American history those old shows with their orchestra powered themes!!
Nice tribute. Thank you.
One of my favorite TV series when I was a little boy ❤️🇺🇸😊❤️🇺🇸😊❤️🇺🇸😊
Barbara Eden was so freaking hot. Hard to believe she was 34 when they did the pilot.
Why?
@@darrinbaker00 Because she looks soo young...more like 24.
34 is hardly ancient.
If it was with Barbara Eden, I think I might just stay on the island...
*Larry Hagman played a good guy in this and bad guy in DALLAS* ⭐️
Who Shot JR?
@@kennarajora6532 *Bobby Ewing!*
I remember the cartoon!!
Brings back memories of my childhood in the 1970s when the pace of life was slower and the world seemed to be a nicer place happy days but truly happy days,,,
2:45 my dad would always brag about the eyes on the bottle being his favorite bit from the intro.
I don't think brag means what you think it means
2:39 the dancing is so cute 😄
Animated by Gerry Chiniquy, DePatie-Freleng's expert on animating dance sequences.
@@fromthesidelines thanks for the info! 👍
You're welcome!
Watched this with my Momma all the time!
😄😊ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS!
I watched this with my dad when I was a kid ❤
To all these people who gave a thumbs down what a classic theme great show.
love the opening theme of i dream of jeannie
Jeannie, Bewitched and Sabrina the Teenage Witch were the best witches!
Except Jeannie is a genie, not a witch. Otherwise I agree.
A Charmed se rossz...
Actually, Jeannie was not a witch, but a magical Genie. I agree with you with Bewitchedm Sabrina The Teenage Witch (The series in the 1990s).
Patrick Saxon That’s true, I stand corrected on Jeannie. A Genie 🧞♀️ is not the same as a witch.
However, that didn't stop Al Hine {"Dennis Brewster"} from writing his "I Dream of Jeannie" paperback novel in 1966. He previously wrote an "authorized" paperback novel of "BEWITCHED" the previous year. As far as HE was concerned, genies and witches weren't too different (he kept talking about the "spells" Jeannie cast throughout the novel; apparently, Hine never actually saw a "JEANNIE" episode at all}.
This used to pop up late nights when I was a child. I used to like watching this and bewitched
Hugo Montenegro’s theme is so full of life ...
My mama would watch this as a child. And she named me Jeannie. And also I was named after my two grandfather's.. one named Billy and the other Donald Eugene.. Billie Jean 💗
in quarantine i watched this all the time with my dad
Anyone notice the Nelsons are living down the street from the Stephens on that street in Cocoa Beach?
Same house that Dr. Bellows lived there.
Life in a bottle wonderful loved this show. Reminds me of happy days a long time ago!
A beautiful woman who will grant you ever wish. Every teenage boy's fantasy.
Paul Frees as the narrator! Can pick out that voice anywhere.
Frees voiceover work was all over the place back then. He was the voice of John & George of the Beatles in their cartoon show, Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol, the rings that told history in “The Time Machine”, Ludwig Von Drake, Boris Badenov, John Beresford Tipton in The Millionaire, the Pillsbury Doughboy, The Point and many voices in the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials!
AND PLENTY OF COMMERCIALS!
0:36 Great narration/exposition by Paul Frees in the original season intro.
Paul Frees did a socko Orson Welles impersonation on an LP by Stan Freburg about the history of the United States.
I still, sometimes get chills when I see the Screen Gems logo appear.
That show let your imagination run it was a very creative and way before its time who in there right mond wouldn't want to watch. Barbra eden was a diva
I use to see this when i was 4 or 5 back in 94/95. Damn this was my childhood tv show
went to a chiropractor yesterday and while he was taking Xray he told me to fold my arms like I Dream of Jeannie, he said that the younger people don't understand what that even means and I told him "Yes Master"
Did he ask you to blink as well?
YES. I WANT A REMAKE.
Nah, man. There ain't nobody now that could be Jeannie.
@@brianmoore581 I must agree with you Brian. No need to remake this property. It exists within a bubble of time where it both works and remains timeless. To otherwise remake/reboot etc would be a colossal waste of time and an abject failure.
NOPE !!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the re-runs. A remake wouid not be as good because times have changed, as have ideas and attitudes. It is too nice and uncomplex to have the same effect nowadays. Rut thankfully it is recorded and we who enjoyed it then can still enjoy it now complete with the memories which watching it rekindles for us
Once the intro theme music played, I always liked how they made the smoke dance to the beat, and then her cartoon body formed. I also thought it was cool how as she was being sucked back in the bottle, the animation reflected on her face. It was stretched out. Animation ahead of it's time. Theme song was awesome too! Will Smith, used part of this theme in his song "Girls Aint Nothin But Trouble" Lol. Back in the 80s, I think it was Mattel, I could be wrong, but they came out with the Jeannie bottle toy complete with Jeannie and I think her round bed lol.
Came here bcos Wanda and Vision
Memories will excite and light-up my mind where reverie seems to act like a narcotic. I have to step aside, while my heart must hurt, - it seems to claw at my soul, like a small child so confused about where it's innocence has gone. It's hard to read these comments, - 'comments' which are so closely held, while-all-the-time they're
memories which are so exciting to remember, - but they hurt so much at the very same time.
I swear, my soul hangs upon a cross all-the-while
condemned for eternity to remember the one-time comfort of an innocence that I can never-ever have again.
Why are tears so painful if their purpose is to free my soul ?
No wait, the first opening to this show was not this one. It was much calmer and had a totally different sound.
Richard Wess wrote the first season theme- and score. Hugo Montenegro took over in season two.
(chuckles) I remember stumbling on the animated opening, channel surfing when I was little, and being totally disappointed that the show wasn't a cartoon.
Wild to see the recently late Larry Storch from F Troop in the outro credits. He must've guest starred in a 1966 episode?
I think I will recommend this channel in our blog.
I didn't know this drama was this much older. I'm still in shock. Everyone's dead. Today I found out.I'm so shocked. Barbara is 90 years old!!!!I thought maximum it must be 10 years older drama . It was aired in 1965.Wtf dude .My little sister would be heartbroken if she see this. We both love this drama so much 😭😭😭
sixties sitcoms had the best theme songs...
In the 1965 opening, sounds to me the narrator was Paul Frees. It's amazing how Barbara Eden was so sexy and Larry Hagman became a guy everyone loved to hate: J.R. from the show Dallas. We lost Larry many years ago, but his comic and dramatic roles will always be remembered. And Barbara is still looking good in her eighties.
"a mythical town in a mythical state called Florida"
Sounds right to me
Don't forget the mythical place called "Cape Kennedy"
