Oh, Samantha would win, easy. Jeannie was a sex fantasy while Samantha was a fully-rounded woman.
Not stupid or expendable.
Well there will be a new complete series set for I Dream of Jeannie too. Except it will be a bit cheaper than the Bewitched set. Nearly $45 for all the original broadcasted episodes! (no sponsor tags though, rats.)

It is with deep sadness that I announce the sudden death of Martin Milner
from Adam-12 and Route 66...
...He was a good actor. Officer Malloy was my favorite character on Adam-12! 
Staring At My Own Grave
Like many, many people, I love The Twilight Zone .
I was also introduced not long ago to Laugh In - It's well before my time... it's even before my fiance's time (and he outpaces me by about a dozen years, he was alive when it aired, but too little for it). He managed to get ahold of it, anyway, in the interest of "old tv is cool" and... maybe it's because I actually am interested in 20th century history and can get some of the political/hippie jokes... I found what I watched hilarious.
On the note of weird shows... if we are including the 1980s... when I was little, I watched a sitcom I barely remembered that I was reminded of when The Nostalgia Critic covered it in his new "Was That Real?" segment - Small Wonder . I mean, I kind of vaguely remember watching this show about a guy who made a robot daughter he was trying to keep secret from the nosy neighbors and the Critic did confirm for me that it was, indeed, real. It's one of those things that gets remembered not for being good, but just for being STRANGE.

Laugh-In?! HEY! That's the show that replaced The Man from U.N.C.L.E! Leo G. Carroll even appeared in character as Mr. Waverly in the first episode. Here's the proof;
Professional Moldy Fig/Curmudgeon
You can bet your sweet bippy that Laugh In had its place in TV history - after all, this was the show where Richard Nixon said "Sock it to me!," something no other president has done since. And of course, the great Gary Owens announcing from beautiful downtown Burbank, may he rest in peace!...
I feel like I should mention Turn-On here, the notorious Laugh In ripoff that was incredibly puerile for its time, with a huge focus on sex.

"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."
"Laugh In", from what I understand, was sort of a proto-Saturday Night Live. Hillary Clinton is appearing on SNL tonight, apparently, in an appearance very much in spirit with Nixon on Laugh In in 1968.
"Turn On" was cancelled after one episode and for years after was a notorious flop. Even today there aren't very many network shows that have aired only one episode—that Heather Graham sitcom was one.
The question remains: Elizabeth Montgomery vs. Barbara Eden - who would win?
Both Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeannie were part of that whole trend in the 60s where shows had really wild plots. On the one hand, you had stuff like that, which is still remembered and enjoyed today. On the other - My Mother The Car.
Incidentally, any discussion of Bewitched should not fail to mention Paul Lynde's role as Uncle Arthur. The man was one of the great camp actors of all time.
