Danger Island : As a child I anticipated every weekend to watch the latest episode. I realized it then - I realize it now. DI is just plain old pre-adolescent fun. Why? Blond hair girl in tight white jeans w/ open front shirt tied at the belly button. Blond hair boy usually in shorts and bare chested (Jan Michael Vincent pre drug burn-out) Exotic locale beyond my bland Orange County existence AND the natives living communally. The cheesy factor of DI didn't register in my childhood mind then. We had to endure the Banana Splits' velveeta to get to our beloved Island. Hell, it was still the 60s and yes, I loved TVs Batman too. Danger Island was my Fantasy Island (I suppose).
