OK so Fantasy Island wasn't great but to say it's the worst show ever is highly debatable. Yeah the whole premise is kind of ridiculous and sometimes the acting (Ricardo Montalban, Herve Villechaize and sometimes even the guest stars) is kind of lame but for the most part I liked it. Yes some episodes had some really stupid story lines but tell me a television show that's never happened to. Often in the end the guests would learn something about themselves or life from having lived out their fantasies. Maybe it wasn't high class drama but I'll watch Fantasy Island over a lot of other shows any day.

No. This show is one of my favorites.

It was about as cheesy as The Love Boat, but both shows had millions of dedicated viewers every week!

Not Exactly, it was quite entertaining

I haven't seen the show probably since it last aired but I watched it quite a bit.
Can't say if I saw it again 40+years later how I would like it. The American public will watch anything. We all have choices to watch or not. Many people thought Gilligan's island was a foolish show, but other people loved the show.
