To honor the late Mr. Roarke, known off the island as Ricardo Montalban, I decided to expose my kids to Fantasy Island. Did you know you can watch episodes online at hulu.com?
We watched this episode and I'm pretty sure I haven't laughed so hard in a really, really long time. The whole thing is completely nuts and the political incorrectness is a true testament to how far we've come since the early 80s.
But back when it was airing, I loved Fantasy Island. On Saturday night, after Love Boat, I would cuddle under a blanket and watch the show while imagining what fantasy I would have requested from Mr. Roarke.
Micah and I spent 45 minutes in front of the computer screen watching this episode which featured two ladies who wanted to be cheerleaders for a pro football team and another storyline with Mel the short order cook (Vic Tayback, remember the show Alice with Linda Lavin?) Micah has asked to watch another episode every day since then.
Uh oh.
