Thinking about the time my mom criticized one of the plots on #FantasyIsland for being unrealistic

Tonight in 1977 — FANTASY ISLAND debuted on THE ABC FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE.
Ricardo Montalban and Hervé Villechaize star in this delightfully dark pilot film for the series, which debuted a year later.

Finally, something recently made me think of the 1990s version of FANTASY ISLAND that starred Malcolm McDowell, so Barb and I watched it. It got cancelled pretty quickly, but all 13 episodes can be streamed on Tubi. McDowell is fun as a Mr Rourke who's kind of evil; he wears a black jacket instead of a white one.
One of his associates is a woman with magical powers who's named Ariel, another is a dumb lug named Cal, and one episode features Rourke's daughter Miranda. I don't know if these were just in-jokey references to Shakespeare's "The Tempest" or if they were planning a bigger revelation later.
The 1990s CGI hasn't aged well at all and a few of the plotlines haven't either, but it was an enjoyable bit of TV fluff. (4/4)

If you just can't shake that primordial urge to watch FANTASY ISLAND on a Saturday night, it's now streaming on The Roku Channel.
