Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/15/2005 Run time: 776 minutes Amazon.com: One of the definitive TV shows of the 1970s originally aspired to the dark moral complexity of anthology shows like The Twilight Zone. Even diehard fans will have to admit Fantasy Island fell short of its goal--but that didn't stop it from becoming hugely popular, lasting for seven powerhouse seasons. All the most iconic elements were present from the beginning: Diminutive Tattoo (Herve Villechaize, The Man with the Golden Gun) shouting "De plane! De plane!"; infinitely gracious Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) commanding "Smiles, everyone, smiles," before delivering pages of exposition with his implacable Latin gravitas; the white suits; the tropical island that somehow has all the vegetation and weather patterns in the world; the pageant of celebrities from Jim Backus to Karen Valentine, Barbi Benton to Don Knotts--it all added up to sneakily addictive television. After all, wish-fulfillment--be it a schlub who wants to be irresistible to chicks or kids who want their separated parents to reconcile or a former cheerleading team who want to relive their high school glory days--had a built-in narrative hook, even though the resolution (various versions of "be careful what you wish for") was never in doubt. Almost every episode bubbled over with sex, revenge, ambition, and regret, delivered with a shameless lack of subtlety. Over the course of the first season, the interplay between Montalban and Villechaize--each armed with an intriguing exotic accent--became more and more prominent, with Mr. Roarke becoming increasingly supernatural while Tattoo oozed the mortal sins of greed and lechery. Turn on any episode; you'll find it hard to stop watching, no matter how cheesy or ludicrous the storyline. This four-dvd set includes the original TV movie pilot, its sequel, and the 16 episode first season, as well as a couple of largely bland featurettes enlivened by the occasional barbed comment from executive producer Leonard Goldberg. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:

Rating: - This is comfort TVIf you are a child of the 1970's and grew up watching Love Boat/Fanatsy Island on Saturday nights - this DVD collection is a great blast from the past and you will love seeing all the old TV stars. Rating: - Fantasy IslandThis was one of my favorite series when it was on in the 70's It was exciting and kept your interest. I sure wish that season two would come out soon. Rating: - Hoping Season 2 will be available.I grew up watching Fantasy Island as a kid and I came across the dvd set of season one by accident. I watched the entire series and loved it. I was reminded of the catch phrase "The The Plane" shouted by Tatoo whenever the plane would arrive with the guests. The series was aired in the 70s, which you can tell by the clothes and guest stars of each episode. I would higly recommend this series to anyone, especially if you grew up with it or those wanting to discover the series for the ...
