The plot moved fast and Shirley Jones played it perfectly making this a very good pilot. Why the tv network brain trust did not buy this show is a mystery. It's a fun pilot thanks to Shirley Jones. I think the script writer needed to spell out what Shirley's gift had been by saying in the pilot, "Sometimes I wish I did not have ESP because it gets me in these crazy situations." I also think important characters like the one played by Ted Bessell were undefined. Good guy? Bad guy? Nemesis? This show with minor tweaking could have been a success!

So, her character can read others thoughts. It seems that this ability got lost in translation in this pilot and maybe that is why the networks passed on it. Also, if the actor Randy Quaid played a role in this pilot and mentioned that he was a PILOT ( Hence this being the first episode )and could fly, it could have turned this into a comedy for sure, with special guest, the robot from lost in space.

I can't believe that they turned down a T.V. pilot with Shirley Jones. She was already a movie star with "Oklahoma" (1955), "Carousel" (1956) and "Music Man" (1960). Why did they want to do a "Bewitched" (1964) knock off with her? She should have had something to do with singing and dancing to showcase her talents. Also why did they have Donald May who clearly was built to be an action star as her husband? Ted Bessell was the obvious choice as the comic lead co-star as he proved in 1966 as the sweetest boyfriend on "That Girl." With Rosemary De Camp and Alvy Moore, it should have been a sure-fire hit if they had tweaked the pilot a bit. The pilot for Gilligan's island was a dud until they reshot it with Dawn Wells, Tina Louise and Russell Johnson.

Thanks for watching Brian. 👍

Dream Wife had potential but the theme song would make a feminist's head explode and the kind of ESP that Shirley Jones manifests would be irksome, annoying and off-putting to most people she was able to scan. Who wants to be around a person who can discern your thoughts and musings? Neither Samantha nor Jeannie ever intruded, even accidentally, into anyone's mental atmosphere. The lettering of the title is nearly a knock-off of both Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. The cast was mostly made up of veteran talent, but in this pilot everyone was trying too hard to follow the obviously strange directing to be abnormally daffy and cute. The moral of this sit-com is if you have ESP, keep it to yourself! Thanks so much for this delightful oddity which is probably unknown to most as it is to me and other fans of when television was fun to watch.

Thanks for the comment and watching Richard. 👍

Lordy that was awful! Can see why it didnt get picked up. Still neat to see the fashion & slang of the era though.

Thanks for watching Katie. 👍

Writing is off on pacing, too much dialogue overlap, intro to show was not a good setup. Cast selection was good. Needs a tighter script. Comedy or Drama, decision should be made.
