COCOA BEACH, Fla. - This city has been linked to "I Dream of Jeannie" ever since a jingle in the opening of the TV show's first season in 1965 told how a genie followed Capt. Tony Nelson "back to Cocoa Beach, a mythical town in a mythical state called Florida."
Now, in an arms-crossed nod and blink to its perpetuity in television reruns, Cocoa Beach's 13,000 residents are marking the 40th anniversary of the show's first episode with a celebration Friday. Although none of the cast members will attend, there will be two Jeannie look-a-like contests, music and the serving of a mixed drink with secret ingredients called Jeannie's magical potion.
