(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]
