Fantasy Island with and without Tatto
15 July 2002
For me Fantasy Island was one of my favorite shows growing up. I attributed my fondness to the show with Tatto (Herve Villechaize). I could relate with Tatto since he portrayed a child like innonence in situations. The sequences of the segements in the show became predictible with the various guests soon realizing that their fantasies always had some of consequences involved. However even TV shows about fufilling fantasies mature and Tatto was replaced with Lawerence (Chris Hewett) and the show became a dumping ground for out of work actors. Even now when I see the show on re-runs, I imagine Tattoo yelling, "Da Plane! Da Plane!",drinking rum filled coconut drinks, watching hula dancers and fufilling my fantasy.
