This is the July 6–12, 1968 issue of TV Guide. The cover features a bright, energetic posed photograph of Barbara Eden, the star of NBC’s I Dream of Jeannie. She is shown from the waist up against a warm golden-yellow background that glows softly behind her. Barbara wears a vivid orange, sleeveless, ribbed top that highlights the era’s bold color palette. Her blonde hair is styled in a high, voluminous 1960s fashion with soft curls at the ends. She has an open-mouthed smile, her eyes wide and cheerful, and one arm lifted in a lively, celebratory gesture, giving the image a sense of motion and joy.
In the upper left corner is the classic red TV GUIDE logo in a white rounded square. Near the top edge, small text reads “15¢ Local Programs July 6–12.” Cover lines appear on the left side, including “TELEVISION, SOUTHERN STYLE” and “A Close-up of ‘The Flying Nun’s’ Alejandro Rey.” At the bottom, in small type, it notes “Barbara Eden of ‘I Dream of Jeannie.’” The overall look is upbeat, colorful, and unmistakably mid-century television culture.

Meme text reads, "Little known fact... Before Thing was an actor, he was a stagehand."
