About this product

Product Information

Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban) operates an exclusive island resort with the help of his dwarf assistant, Tattoo (Herve Villechaize). This resort is unlike any other, however, in that each visitor is treated to the realization of his or her wildest fantasies. The suave, mysterious Roarke appears to possess the boundless capability to realize any dream, while his faithful servant wins people over with his charming smile, and his memorable line "De plane! De plane!" The episodes are comprised of two segments, each introducing a new guest and pet fantasy. In realizing their dreams, however, the guests often learn something about themselves, as well as the danger involved in actually getting what you've always wanted. In the first season of the 1978 show, a prince lives as a common man while two working class girls live the jet-setting life on the island. A woman with amnesia uses voodoo to regain her memory, a prostitute settles down, a man becomes the most irresistible guy in the world, and a comedian wishes for a simpler life. Guest stars include Lesley Nielson (AIRPLANE), Ed Begley Jr. (KINGDOM HOSPITAL, A MIGHTY WIND), Jerry Van Dyke (FRESNO), and baseball player Steve Garvey.

  • "SMILES EVERYONE! Smiles."

    Even now, after all these years, Mr Rourke and Tattoo have the ability to pull you into the unexpected entanglement of the their guest's fantasies. In fact, you may even start to explore your own fantasies, while watching. With an exotic yet, undeniably, mysterious location at his command, Mr Rourke himself is quite the distinguished gentleman. And, Herve's voice is irreplaceable and unforgettable...every time we think of "THE PLANE! THE PLANE!" I love this show.

  • A Much Under Rated Series

    The stories in Fantasy Island are engaging and entertaining, but may seem simplistic and rather outdated by today's standards. Overall, the writing for the episodes was excellent, and I'm surprised that some enterprising producers have not decided to revive a similar series in an updated format. The basic premise of Fantasy Island (fantasy realization) is ageless and appeals to all age groups. There are some stellar guest actors/actresses in each story and the scenery shots are outstanding.

  • A super blast from the past!

    I bought this first season for my girlfriend for her birthday, as we both had only vague memories of this show as kids but remembered thinking it was really cool. It hasn’t disappointed! It’s actually a bit scarier at times than expected, but still tame compared to today’s shows. Makes for a great escape and a lot of fun seeing which celebrities from that time period show up on each episode. Will definitely buy other available seasons!
