Sharing is Caring
We are already aware of the shared storyline and plot devices by Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. But the two shows have more similarities than you may realize. They shared some supporting and guest starring actors, too. One such actor was Paul Lynde, who played Uncle Arthur on Bewitched and a few extra characters on Jeannie.
His longer role was the recurring Uncle on Bewitched. On Jeannie, he played three different characters. I wonder if fans recognized him across shows and in his three different roles on Jeannie. Apparently Lynde was quite a character, and in addition to his TV career, he appeared on game shows as well.
