RIP Ricardo Montablan

Fantasy Island played a huge role in the nightmares of my youth, but also laid the groundwork for my marriage in Hawaii a few years back. Campy, scary, sexual, sometimes trivial and downright bizarre (anyone remember the zombie episode? How about the voodoo one?) the show was on when I shouldn't have even been awake in 1978-1980. But alas, I would sit through the pain of the Love Boat on a Friday night just to get to Mr. Rourke's Fantasy Island. I'm convinced that half of my perversions were incubated from this Aaron Spelling abomination...How else would I tolerate midget porn?

The episode above features an old man looking to become a young swinger. They call him Mr. Dodge, but we all know it's Mr. Reeves, cast from 40 years in the future to 20 years in the past.
