Fantasy Island

[EMCE Hammer]

That costume is twelve kinds of awesome.

I can't watch this.

Funny, the first one we watched had Bert Convey. My wife said "He looks familiar, what did he do?" I pretty much only know him from Fantast Island.

Bert Convey, if I recall correctly, used to host a CBS game show called Tattle Tales where 1/2 of a celeberty couple would tell secrets about their spouse while the other 1/2 was isolated and couldn't hear what they were saying. I think William Shatner used to pop up on this show often with his 2nd wife; pre ST-TMP. Convey was also in The Cannonbal Run with Burt Reynolds.

I think the 1st season of Fantasy Island also proves that Ricardo Montalban was in terrific physical shape because he plays some character shirt-less, other than Mr. Roarke. So have no doubt that in Star Trek II when he plays Khan, that is his real chest.

I love it! Great show. RIP Ricardo Montalban.

Classic show. I did have nightmares when I was a kid because of one episode which involved a freaky dude who lived locked up in his mother's basement...

Love Boat followed by Fantasty Island.....Saturday night must-see TV back in the day

It's weird that in our day, kids watched a show that aired at 10 on Saturday.

Here is my favourite episode in minisode format, Roddy McDowell as the devil, complete with cartoon horns, glorious. Plus Adam West!

Yep, watched in combo with the Love Boat for the longest time. Have yet to pick up either on DVD as I'm still way behind on the sets I already have.

[Falstaff13]

I'm trying to track down an episode from Season 4. If anyone has a line on copies, let me know.

Thanks.

Yeah I just watched it, he really got around.

[trekman101]

I watched it every week along with the Love Boat, which seems like a weird thing for a kid to do, but a lot of us did.

me too...I always wondered about that

The last episode i saw was maybe 10 or 12 yeas ago? it had donnie most in it and it was like a really dark episode. and i remember thinking "man that was a great show!" i think they tried to remake it inthe early 90's but it flopped.
