Oh my goodness - they are airing this again!! I guess I must have watched a couple of episodes but I can't remember them - maybe that's a mercy !! However I just had to look up the cast members and my goodness - there seems to be a cast of thousands - some better known than others - but a large percentage of them went on to star in virtually every American soap that followed after - Dynasty - Dallas - Falcon's Crest - Knot's Landing - even N.C.I.S. !! I bet they blush now when they remember that particular voyage.

This series and Fantasy Island definitely were catch-all series where many earlier film and t.v. stars (who by the time of this show were no longer in high demand, therefore they were willing to "slum"), as well as oodles of recognizable popular current t.v. actors/actresses of the time, wound up at some point or another.
I used to watch both series, back in the day, and it was always nice to see some of the earlier familiar faces, as well as lots of the usual current (at the time) popular and attractive young performers, turning up in episodes. Both series were decidedly lightweight fare, stringing together contrived excuses for storylines - but the episodes were typically whatever extent of divertingly entertaining.
