    • Trivia
      The plane that was used on this show was up for auction in the 1990s. This plane was autographed by all of the guest stars. Before this show, this plane was also owned by Richard D. Bach, author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull".
    • Goofs
      Despite the series being set on an unnamed Pacific island, it's clear from the vegetation and the terrain shown that it was in fact on the mainland of California. This is most obvious during fantasies which take place mostly in outdoor settings.

    Where all your fantasies come true and then screw with you.
    I watched a few episodes of this show when I was a kid and it most certainly was not a show I enjoyed all that much. It was one of those shows that the others in the household enjoyed watching, and when there is only one television you have no other choice than to watch it yourself or go play in your room by yourself. I usually chose to go into my room and play, but I watched a fair amount of episodes during my day. Not enough to rate the show, mind you, but enough to make a short review anyway. The most memorable thing about this show was when Herve Villechaize as Tattoo would announce the arrival of the plane bringing more unsuspecting dupes to the island where they were hoping to live out their fantasy, but usually ended up learning a valuable lesson instead. This show had many genres that could be attached to it including comedy, drama and even horror so while it was not a favorite of mine, I will say it did manage to at least be different. One never quite knew what to expect when the plane would drop the visitors off because the show could vary wildly. I remember one where the island had some sort of evil spirits floating around. So that is the thing, the show did things differently and was not by the numbers, so while not a favorite I can still acknowledge that it was unique for the time.
