I used to LOVE the Mantalban Fantasy Island, so when this one came out I was happy to watch it.
This one, to me, seems to be better written, and far more enjoyable. the characters are more than one-dimensional; who in their right mind would stay on an island in the middle of nowhere catering to a bunch of spoiled whiny people? This series answers that question - someone who HAS TO. I thought that gave a dimension of "humanity" to Roarke et. al. that the original lacked.
And the humor and twists really do point out the old maxim "be careful what you wish for - you just might get it."
