[@mrs.anonymous6291]

I am telling you my tween years were spent Saturday Nights beginning with a large cheese pizza pie w/sausage then curling up with our plates in front of the Ole tv for first Love Boat then followed by Fantasy Island!!! My parents would always go out to the movies on Sat night so this was a big night for us kids. Those were the good ole days. Very happy memories!!! So simple right?

[@gisellepelletier56]

Interesting that we are here today needing an escape from reality..just came back from doing a display job in Fort Mac in Alberta and had to unwind, something bad happened every day while I was there..the town is gone to hell not even safe to walk outside or at your hotel..couldn't wait to get home to Calgary, unfortunately all our cities are becoming like this! Loved the 70's and 80's shows ❤️ Take care 😊

[@the_real_life_bondgirl]

Not simple, just not degenerated and degraded like our culture is now. Everything is about sexualization, inflated currency, women and men becoming one another. An overwhelmingly oppressive evil culture of mental illness and contempt for humanity.

I just love these shows so much...Ricardo Montalban is a brilliant actor...genius!

He was smoking hot, especially in his younger years dancing with Cyd Charisse. And he had a manly hairy body. Just sexy as hell. @@brooksequine7621

In the opening scenes, when Roarke opens the inside shutters and looks out, he has that "Ah, what a beautiful morning!" expression on his face.

The Fantasy Island house is at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia, California… we go there at t least once a year. Beautiful botanical gardens. Lots of movies filmed there.

Aaron Spelling was to tv, what Colonel Harland Sanders was to fried chicken...From "Fantasy Island" to "Seventh Heaven", his contribution to the American tv industry is unparalleled...Now, as an adult, I can, thanks to KZbin, watch, understand, appreciate and be entertained by this classic tv show, once more.

Yes, Aaron Spelling and Gary Marshall are my two favorite produces. Don't forget 90210 and Melrose Place, Charlie's Angle. KZbin is great to watch what we did as kids, love it.

I wonder if any of Mr. Roark's customers ever had a fantasy about being captain of the Enterprise :)

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

If he tried, and wasn't on the ship, yet still in communication, Captain Kirk would give Commander Spock a direct order to relieve him on his personal authority as Captain of the Enterprise. He might not immediately comply, but Spock would threaten to put him in the brig. Then he would comply, as Vulcans never bluff.

When this show was new, when Herv rang the bell, I thought he was saying, "The Plan! The Plan!" I was still in High School when this show premiered. When Herv, aka Tattoo would say, "Good morning, Boss to Mr. Roarke, and Roarke would reply, " Good morning, Tattoo." I wondered, Why is that kid calling his father, Boss? That was when someone pointed out to me, "He's a full grown man."

Daddy’s Little Girl storyline is eerily similar to the play “Mamma Mia” but without the ABBA music. 3 Fathers?...

[@thatsmytwocents4372]

I kinda think this was before Mama Mia!

[@boogaturk8363]

I think the creator(s) of Mamma Mia liked Fantasy Island, particularly this episode. Interesting that I never see this episode mentioned as inspiration for the story line of the musical. This episode came out in 1982, and Fantasy Island overlapped the ABBA era, so I can see how someone would want to pay homage to the era and those inspirations within.

[@kellylaflash1016]

I did a little research. Mamma Mia is loosely based on a movie from the late 60's. This story likely was inspired by the same movie.
