Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the scene where Jeannie is assembling the members of the Boyce/Hart Band, an instrumental version of a song that Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote is playing in the background. The song was "Last Train to Clarksville", which was the first ever number-one single for The Monkees. In fact, there are several sly references to the band throughout this episode including having the covers to several of their albums in the background, the Bellowses holding a Monkees' album in their living room and during the audition scene a shot of Davy Jones' solo album that was released about a year prior to that show's debut.
- GoofsWhen Tony and Jeannie leave for the camping trip, a big hill can be seen in the background. This is not a view of Cocoa Beach, Florida but of California.
- Quotes
Amanda Bellows: [after Jeannie has turned Tony's living room into a campground with a fire, tent, and running brook] Oh, it's wonderful! Alfred, how come we never do anything like this?
Dr. Alfred Bellows: Amanda, I spend half my life *curing* people who do things like this!

Featured review
A strange, unfunny episode
This is the type of series episode that I hate. Its nothing more then a vehicle to showcase up and coming celebrities or reboot declining stars. I've always disliked the episodes with special guest stars,... because it ends up being nothing more then a spotlight show with no real story. This is the case for "I Dream of Jeannie, Hip Hippies". You get to see the Boyce Hart Group,...WHO??? And a cameo by Phil Spector, temporarily coming out of seclusion. Oh and there is some side story about Jeannie and Tony going fishing. A rather boring episode with no real twist or humor. The only point of interest is watching Phil Spector doing a caricature of himself, knowing that 40 years later, he would be serving life in prison for the murder of Lana Clarkson. Yeah, very creepy.
