(ABC Primetime, 1978 - 1984)
[this was an imaginative series based upon the premise that
if you give people what they want they sometimes learn the
value of what they have; Ricardo Montalban played a man
in charge of a curious kind of vacation island (called
"Fantasy Island") where visitor's dreams can come true;
his assistant was the dwarf Tatoo, played by Hérve
Villechaize; a number of different guest stars came through
so that the series was a mix of dramatic anthology meets
"The Love Boat", a series it followed on the ABC Primetime
schedule; exteriors were filmed at the Los Angeles Arboretum]
