A
60s thing, on
American television. There was
Bewitched, where a
witch marries a mortal.
I Dream of Jeannie: an
astronaut discovers a
genie in a bottle. These two shows were big hits, so further gimmicky
sitcoms were begat, on into the early 70s, since both shows lasted that long.
The Smothers Brothers Show, about a man comically haunted by his dead brother.
Mr. Ed: an updating of the old "Francis the Talking Mule" movies; Ed was a
horse.
My Mother the Car, in which a guy's mother haunts an old car (IIRC; was it reincarnation or something?).
The Flying Nun: a
nun's habit is discovered to be aerodynamically sound. Somehow.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, a great adaptation of an old film in which the
ghost of a sea captain haunts his old
New England house.
Nanny and the Professor probably fits in here, though I remember little more than the theme song.
The Archies, a Saturday-morning cartoon, spun off
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (basis for the 90s
sitcom).
The Girl with Something Extra, about a young woman with
ESP. Did Sally Field (the legendary flying nun) star in that one too?
I'm sure I've left a few out. Bedtime was nine o'clock sharp.
