Also Samantha's powers had limits.
Like if someone was sick they had to call Dr Bombay and often times go on long searches for exotic ingredients to make potions with.
Whereas on IDOJ if someone was sick I think Jeannie could have just blinked away the illness.
The only limitation Jeannie had was she couldn't escape from a closed place.

Wait-a-minute, then how come the supposedly supreme mistress of magic couldn't blink away the ill effects of tainted Pipchicks?
I think Jeannie on occasion had limitations placed upon her, if a particular situation called for it. Otherwise, some episodes would've ended too soon.
I still feel that the Achilles heel of being trapped would be Jeannie's undoing if she were the type to go around picking fights with other supernatural beings. Luckily, she's more likely to make love not war.
You can observe a lot just by watching.

I know Samantha is powerful and I'm not putting down Bewitched but I just think over all Jeannie is a little more powerful b/c generally she is faster and has less limitations.
Someone wrote a great fanfic story once, where Jeannie meets Samantha, at first Samantha thinks Jeannie is a Witch. BUT the real conflict came between Jeannie and ENDORA. I forget exactly what happened but Endora started wanting to pick a fight with Major Nelson, and of course Jeannie jumped to his side and protected him against her, so there was a battle between Jeannie and Endora that went pretty well like I imagine it really would. Jeannie basically kicked Endora's ass. While Endora was busy waving her arms around and trying to do an incantation and conjuring lightening and all that, Jeannie would blink her atop of a cactus, or something like that, until Endora finally surrendered and admitted that Genies were more powerful than Witches, but that for years there was a rilvary between Genies and Witches and Witches SOMEHOW bestowed fear into Genies to make them think Witches were more powerful.

Put them both in a bottle and see which one can get out.
Answer
: Samantha. Samantha was definitely more power
ful
Samantha has several vulnerabilities where she can lose her powers and become power
less
:
There was an episode where Samantha lost her powers because she needed a 10,000 zap checkup.
If Samantha has too much contact with mortals, she can lose her powers.
If Samantha doesn't use her powers enough, they weaken or she loses them. She was stuck in her house due to a vapor lock and could not get out.
Samantha once contacted a red stripe disease after she consumed a beverage at a restaurant and lost her powers.
A black Peruvian rose makes Samantha lose her powers.
There were at least two episodes where Samantha was sent back in time and Darrin had to go back and rescue her. I don't remember if she actually lost her powers or if she just didn't remember that she was a witch due to amnesia, but nevertheless she was vulnerable and powerless.
And contact with a Macedonian Do Do bird can make her powerless.
Put them both in a bottle and see which one can get out.

How about this:
Both Jeannie and Samantha are in the bottle. Jeannie blinks a black Peruvian rose which makes Samantha lose her powers (Episode 6/Season 2: Take Two Aspirins & A Half of Pint of Porpoise Milk). Hence Samantha would be stuck in the bottle with Jeannie and neither can get out.
Or Jeannie and Samantha are not in a bottle, but Jeannie blinks in a black Peruvian rose which makes Samantha lose her powers or Jeannie can also blink in a Macedonian Do Do bird, which makes Samantha (and other witches) powerless. Jeannie then blinks Samantha in the bottle and Samantha is helpless/power

and cannot get out. She's stuck in a bottle. Jeannie is not. Who's more powerful?
Answer
: Jeannie wins and is definitely more power

NahSamantha is just more powerful. And btw, if you knew about the Black Peruvian Rosethat means you knew that once exposed to itit can't harm her any longer. So nojust no.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Samantha had a lot more vulnerabilities that would take away her powers and leaver her powerless (the black rose is only one example). Hence Jeannie is just more powerful.
