Fantasy Island (1977) - The Complete HQ Studio Print DVD Collection (with FREE GIFT DVD)

Fantasy Island is an American fantasy drama television series created by Gene Levitt. It aired on ABC from 1977 to 1984. The series starred Ricardo Montalbán as the mysterious Mr. Roarke and Hervé Villechaize as his assistant, Tattoo. Guests were granted so-called "fantasies" on the island for a price.

A one-season revival of the series aired in 1998.

Before it became a television series, Fantasy Island was introduced to viewers in 1977 and 1978 through two made-for-television films. Airing from 1978 to 1984, the original series starred Ricardo Montalbán as Mr. Roarke, the enigmatic overseer of a mysterious island somewhere near Devil's Island, French Guiana, in the Atlantic Ocean, where people from all walks of life could come and live out their fantasies—for a price.

Roarke is known for his white suit and cultured demeanor, and he was initially accompanied by an energetic midget sidekick, Tattoo, played by Hervé Villechaize. Tattoo ran up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout "De plane! De plane!" to announce the arrival of a new set of guests at the beginning of each episode. This line, shown at the beginning of the series' credits, became a catchphrase because of Villechaize's spirited delivery and French accent. In later seasons, he arrives in his personal go-kart, sized for him, and recklessly drives to join Roarke for the visitor reception while the staff scramble out of his way. From 1981 to 1982, Wendy Schaal joined the cast as an assistant named Julie; in the season five story "The Case Against Mr. Roarke", Roarke says Julie is his goddaughter. The producers dismissed Villechaize from the series before the 1983–84 season, its last, and Tattoo was replaced by a more sedate butler type named Lawrence, played by Christopher Hewett, who presses an electronic button to ring the bell rather than climb the tower.
