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.

The stories in Fantasy Island are engaging and entertaining, but may seem simplistic and rather outdated by today's standards.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.

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!

The only reason to buy these period series is because they are VERY entertaining and bring back alot of great memories. They would drag very old stars out of their graves and give us a good slug of real talent in a usually light-hearted offering. There were other series from this era worth buying, such as "Love Boat", and some of the very old western series,too. When you watch "Gun Smoke", you will see many first-time actors who became super-stars later on. Did you know that 635 episodes of "Gun Smoke" were televised ? Incredible longevity by todays standards. Looking forward to buying other oldies.
I haven’t seen this show since Friday nights as a kid.I was loving watching season one.I will be buying the whole set soon.
