I stand corrected, chuck! At least as far as the timeline goes. I was under the impression that TOTGM came before Indiana Jones. After researching further, I discovered that Tales was indeed seemingly a knockoff of Indy. But as far as 1982 goes, this was pretty much as good as it got with relation to tropical South Pacific Glamourization on TV.

Anyhow, I dug and found that this TV show was not mentioned;
"Adventures in Paradise" with Gardner Mckay as captain Adam Troy of the schooner "Tiki".
This show ran from 1959-1962 and was an hour long program. Under this topic, I'm thinking "Gardner McKay" deserves his tiki star!
