I love the witches and warlocks especially Uncle Arthur but there is no contest between Samantha and Jeannie. Jeannie hands down.

Elizabeth Montgomery was nice enough to look at, but as far as that goes, give me Barbara Eden.
As for the shows, they both have their annoyances (Larry Tate constantly inviting himself and clients over to the Stevens',Darrin putting up with Endora's constant shenanigans, and Dr. Bellows inviting himself and others' over to Major Nelsons' and always being in his business
But I think Bewitched edges out Jeanie because of all the likeable characters (Sam herself, Darrin (especially the first), Aunt Clara, Esmerelda (I'm an Alice Ghostley fan) Uncle Arthur and EM did a great job with Serena!
I also liked Bewitched because it's one of the very few sitcoms that had the main couple start out with no kids, ran that way for a while, then ran a while after a baby entered the picture. The only other one I can think of is
All in the Family

I Dream of Jeannie
for meit's more light-hearted and fun. I look at them like this: Bewitched was a family show with often serious themes that just happened to have fun, supernatural elements in it as-well, whereas
I Dream of Jeannie
simply was mythical and fun in every sense. And glamorous. Plus, it reminds me of my favorite musical, PETER PAN, and in turn, my fav stage stars, Mary Martin, Carol Channing, etc. for, after all, Mary Martin was Larry Hagman's mama! So, Jeannie for the win! (Though I love Agnes Moorehead and her Endora)

Of course, I Dream of Jeannie! Tony and Jeannie were the hottest, most beautiful TV couple of all time (second would be Fran and Maxwell on The Nanny). And there was no denying their incredible chemistry together! Plus, Tony's being an astronaut, at the height of the space race, was exciting enough. Add a magical genie to that, and who could resist? The sexual tension was there in spades, but not in a perverted or overt way, because Tony was a gentleman and never took advantage of the situation, and because Barbara played Jeannie very innocently. That's hard to do when someone as beautiful as Barbara is wearing costumes that reveal much of her body.
Bewitched was fun, too, with all of Sam's family members causing havoc. But Darrin and Sam didn't seem to have the same kind of chemistry or sex appeal of Tony and Jeannie. Most of Elizabeth's wardrobe consisted of "housewife-y" type clothes - yes, she was a housewife, but they could have dressed her in something a little more fashionable or flattering on her. The show also dealt with some serious topics. I get enough of that on the news - I don't want to see it in a fantasy comedy show.
So, Jeannie wins - hands down!

I Dream of Jeannie.
Dynamic between her and Major Nelson was funner than the twit always telling Samantha how not to behave.
Plus: witch vs genie = genie's more exotic.
