Actually, dude, you're mixing up "Fantasy Island" and "Gilligan's Island".  The former was a weird pseudo-sci-fi soap opera starring Ricardo Montalban as this old guy on an island who creates illusory adventures for people (sort of a TV rip-off of John Fowles' _The Magus_ -- a great source for UA ideas, BTW).  The latter was about a bunch of wacky mismatched types stranded on a desert island
with Robinson Crusoe-style living conditions courtesy of their resident professor, who was a whiz at making record players out of coconuts and what not.

Don't worry, we all make those mistakes... especially those of us from Belgium.

;)

(Actually, I have a very good Belgian friend.  But I'll be sure to use this as ammunition to embarrass him by pointing out that his countrymen are inept at recognizing bad American sitcoms from the '70's.)
