Fantasy Island

Do you remember the show on television called Fantasy Island?  It had Mr. Roarke and Tattoo on a mysterious island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.  Visitors came to the island to have their fantasies play out that they desired.

This is a cool show and I wish it was still in production.  I have the videos and I watch them on my television in my bedroom all of the time.  And I gotta ask, what kind of M&M’s did Tattoo like?  The plane – the plane.  Snorts – okay I had to get that out of my piggy system.

Okay here’s the real question.  If you went on Fantasy Island, what would your fantasy be?  Mine would be to be king on a strawberry plantation and have Miss Piggy hand feed me strawberries all day long.  Can you see that?  I so can!  So go – what would your fantasy be?

P.S.  I asked mom what her fantasy would be.  Are you ready for this?  She said to be Wonder Woman for one day – the looks, the costume, the power and Steve Trevor.  Hubba-hubba.  Her words not mine- eeww.

 

A New Show I’m Watching

 

So, I’ve started watching this new series on television.  It comes on the Fox channel at 9:00PM on Monday nights.  It’s called… are you ready?  Sleepy Hollow – insert spooky music here.

This past Monday was the first episode.  If you loved the original Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, you will probably love this as well.  This new series is like a modern day version of the fairy tale fantasy.  I had doubts before watching the show but after the first episode – I’m hooked – hooves and all!

This new show has everything – suspense, drama, witchcraft, adventure, thriller and a headless horseman.  Who could ask for anything more?  

The show, of course, revolves around a resurrected Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane and Lieutenant Abbie Mills in 2013 Sleepy Hollow, New York.

As Ichabod Crane, can you imagine waking up to the 21st century when all you remember is 18th century Colonial America?  Technology alone mystifies poor Crane.  There is even some humor in these clips, especially when he gets in a car and starts playing with the windows – up/down/down/up – too funny.

If you get a chance, you must check out this show and see what you think.  We at the Hotel Thompson are hooked on the first episode.  I did hear on the television this morning that there will be some reshows of the pilot tonight.  Check your television guides.

The second episode titled Blood Moon will be on September 23, 2013 at 9:00PM.

Of course, this little piggy has his thoughts on who in the show is bad and who is good already.  I can’t wait to watch future shows to see if I’m right.  Please let me know what you think.  XOXO – Bacon
