A NEW TATTOO?! THE *SCANDAL* THAT BROUGHT DOWN FANTASY ISLAND AND ABC:
"Show Me a Hero / Slam Dunk" (Fantasy Island)
Season 5, Episode 1
Aired: Oct. 10, 1981
Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban) welcomes his goddaughter, Julie (Wendy
Schaal), as his assistant-in-training with Tattoo (Herve Villichaize).
Villichaize had threatened to walk off the show if Aaron Spelling didn't
meet his demands. As a result, producers hired his potential replacement
should he leave the show.
This episode was originally supposed to star Melinda Naud (Happy Days)...
until a scandal behind the scenes at ABC.
How did any of that "bring down" ABC? Especially considering ABC is
still around today?
