Let's face it, after the first couple of seasons, Fantasy Island episodes got quite a bit lame sometimes ... and some of them ridiculously "out there". Roark became more of an Arch Angel figure with godlike powers rather than a clever island owner with unlimited resources.
In this episode, there were a couple of head-shaking casting choices, particularly Robert Mandan as King Arthur. LOL The other was Donny Most as a Phantom of the Opera type figure. The other odd thing about Donny Most was, strangely enough, the appearance of Tommy Smothers as a man who wished to meet King Arthur. When Donny Most appeared with a black wig and a small black mustache, he looked VERY like Dick Smothers. LOL He looked so much like him I double-checked the cast list!
Of course, these stories are both unlikely and lack depth, but they don't have anything to make you roll yours eyes ... probably. They're simple escapism and you can safely check your Facebook feed while you watch without much danger of missing anything important.
