Summary of movie Fantasy (1982)


Overall rating: (N/A)


Fantasy was all that the title implied: Ordinary human benig from all over the United States would write in to have their wishes granted on national television. Although some of the fantaseis were downright fatuous (e.g. One boy wanetd to twist his ankles inward on national television), and some of the musical acts were equally silly and at times contrived (e.g. One group who called themselves the Rhythm Rascals, who played old-timey music and purported they performed at Disneylands Diamond Horseshoe Revue, was actually three groups who previously appeared on the prorgam combined into one group), Fantasy was definitely at its hottest when it focused on human interest stories, such as reuniting long-lost family members or friends and helping those who could not afford basic family needs (e.g.
One Chicago area teens parents were financially unable to get him braces, and the Fantasy staff helped make that a reality).

Despite the aforementioned goofiness of some of the contestants wishes, Fantasy had a habit-forming hook about it, and this was definitely a series that could be enjoyed by the whole family (in todays climate of trashy daytime talk shows and soap operas, a wholesome show like Fantasy would most certainly be a welcome breath of fresh air). Unfortunately, NBC pitted the program against then red-hot General Hospital on ABC, and as a rseult Fantasy suffered anemic ratings; some NBC affiliates didnt even air the show, contributing to that trouble. Fantasy left the air 13 monhts later on Friday, October 28, 1983.
