treeseed commented on the word fantasy island
A long-running original television show, Fantasy Island, airing from 1978 to 1984. The original series starred Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke, the enigmatic overseer of a mysterious island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, where people from all walks of life could come and live out their fantasies, albeit for a price.
The term fantasy island, as in "You're on fantasy island." has come to mean you are living in a dreamworld or you are not facing reality.
