I always hate the love episodes from season 7 but love the fact it has Mr Belevedere. So i was happy to see tonight that i would see one i haven't seen that has no review by me that possibly could be a good one. I started watching and was like "this is familiar, doesn't that guy end up on an island with two fighting chicks and the nurse goes back in time to hit on some other dude at a hospital" and i was right. For whatever reason this was one of the episodes i couldn't get my review to post no matter what and had no idea why. Frustrating so i saved it in a file on my computer for my Church where i keep Deacon related info. I should probably erase my 3 Fantasy Island reviews that never made it that i had to save before the end of the year when i pass the files over to the new guy. Should be interesting how this new review matches my old one. anyhow...

First story was some dude that wanted to spend time on an island with a hot woman, and he got his dream one, some model. So he gets dropped off,the model has photographers all over but they leave. Then he has his hands all over her like hes entitled to her and she doesn't like that and sets him straight. But then some other model Christie, who was originally promised this great Deserted Island Gig, shows up, gets mad Mr Bevelvedere touched her when he was trying to stop her, and then he makes clever little zings about her, and she fools him to find out where they are. THey are at Pelican Bay. It has a pelican that is always present. The Pelican is probably dead now. So she shows up on a rowboat acting like she survived a ship wreck and making hte guy take care of her , causing the other one to be jealous. Then they fight over him, and it gets real stupid. One such example, the original chic gets him alone away from Christie, and seduces him and gets naked and goes skinny dipping, but she calls it Nude-O or something like that, She says the Japanese do it and whole families, killed the buzz for me. THen Christie lit a tent on fire and ruined it. Ends up them all fighting in water turns on guy in charge of photoshoot and its all happy. The guy whose fantasy it was had great lines like "Go take a flying leap" or "go book that act in Vegas".

Other story was a nurse who was unhappy in her marriage to a Doctor but had this really great 6 year old daughter. So she goes back in time to 1978 at her wedding day to say no, and has 48 hours to see how her life would start without that Dr. You might be thinking "if she doesn't marry her husband, will her daughter (Growing pains daughter) exist". Congrats, you thought of something no one affiliated with the show figured out till way later. So she says no, runs away, goes to work (how she knew she was scheduled is beyond me) in her REd carpet Hospital, (in 78 it was sanitary?) and looks at a 1978 calendar (im assuming is right i never looked if the dates matched the day) and a nurse is like "hey real great friend, weren't you getting married today but i wasn't invited for some reason". then she chases this buffoon Dr and breaks up with the husband. She is really in love with the Dr that cant learn Doctoring and is positive her life will be better with him, but then realizes her daughter wont exist. Rourke, posing as a hairy armed Dr. in surgery has to explain this to her. Shes like its not fair and i m like its obvious. Then the Husand goes for his big Dr break assisting a big wig Dr. but ends up skipping it to punch out that guy and profess his love. Now, if this fantasy ends, she goes back to real time and he never did this cause they were on the honeymoon, he never lost her to the dumb Dr. so he was never threatened to show his love and i missed the end where they leave the island but hope this was mentioned.

SO yet again , another stupid love story, a typical season 7 story.
