I'm holding off pre-ordering until I know if the resolution is actually better than that of the DVDs. If it isn't, I won't have any good reason to buy the whole series yet again.

Maybe you could make some screenshots at the same resolution (like 1333x1000 pixels) for comparison? That would be most helpful :-)

There is no official review. The one user review gives video 1/5.

Official review with screenshots now available. Audio and Video 3/5.

Mill Creek brings I Dream of Jeannie to Blu-ray across twelve discs with a 1080i transfer that lacks the finesse of superior presentations which have been remastered and authored with more care, but the end result is (usually) a perfectly reasonable image within the expected parameters of, A., a TV show as old as this one, B., considering Mill Creek's usual compression, and C., the number of episodes crammed onto each disc.

Indeed, tings could be better, but things could also be much, much worse. Generally speaking the picture is satisfyingly crisp. The natural film resolution allows for a nicely detailed, crisp, and mostly sharp image, even at 1080i, yielding pleasing skin and clothing textures as well as well defined location elements, whether within standard set pieces or when the action shifts to a one-off location on an episode-by-episode basis. The image's grain structure is present but competes with some mild background compression artifacts. It looks more filmic than not, but perfection is not within the image's grasp.
