Welcome to Retro Television Reviews, a feature where we review some of our favorite and least favorite shows of the past! On Tuesdays, I will be reviewing the original Fantasy Island, which ran on ABC from 1977 to 1984. Unfortunately, the show has been removed from most streaming sites. Fortunately, I’ve got nearly every episode on my DVR …. nearly being the word to remember.
This week, Sammy Davis Jr. comes to Fantasy Island.
That’s be cool, right?
Episode 6.19 “Edward/Extraordinary Miss Jones”
(Dir by Don Ingalls, originally aired on April 9th, 1983)
Or, it would have been cool if my DVR had actually recorded this episode!
Sorry, it’s the curse of the DVR. This is one of the episodes that my DVR did not record. I’m not sure if it’s a case of the episode not being aired or perhaps the cable itself was out when it should have been recording but, for whatever reason, I do not have this episode and I also don’t remember having watched it in the past.
For now, I can’t review it. But I’m going to leave this here as a placeholder, in case the show ever starts streaming again.
Again, I regret not being able to review this episode at this time. But, as Mr. Roarke always says, “Smiles, everyone, smiles!”
