[edit] Trivia

In his autobiographical book, The Bridge Across Forever, novelist Richard Bach noted he'd owned a seaplane that ended up as a TV show prop. Although he did not mention Fantasy Island explicitly, the description of the show's opening and the plane's role in it fits perfectly.

[edit] Inconsistancy

On the Fantasy Island Page it says

"Villechaize quit the series prior to the 1983-1984 season"

While in this Villechaize it says

"He was eventually fired, but the show's popularity waned as the show "

[edit] Image

Is there a version of the title card available that does not have the TV Land logo on it? With the show now on DVD surely someone can make a screen capture without the logo. 23skidoo 03:17, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1998 series

There is very little to be found regarding the revived Fantasy Island, and it might be best to keep the two series under one article. But I have two questions:

• Can we get a title card for the 1998 series? I last saw that Sci Fi was airing it a few years ago in the U.S., but don't think they do currently.
• Is the episode total in the info box at the top of the article inclusive of both the original and revival series, or simply the original?

In the original series Roddy McDowell played Satan and was to take the soul of a women but Mr. Rourke foiled him because the women was pregnant. Mr Rouke said to McDowells character, "How can you take one soul without taking two?" Then, in what was dramatic television, at the time, Roddy McDowell transforms into Satan with red lights and two little horns. He starts spinning and then screams, "Damn you Rourke!" That is all I remember is there some place for this kind of information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.196.63.107 (talk) 19:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parodies

I think that SCTV once did a parody of the show, I remember at the very least John Candy playing Tattoo and him saying "Boss, the plane crashed !" and the man portraying Mr. Roarke replied "Well, there goes their fantasies !". If someone remembers the full parody, it would be an interesting inclusion in the aforementioned section of the main article. Neonblak 11:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fantasy Island 1998.jpg

Image:Fantasy Island 1998.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
