SEASON 1:
The original 1977 series. And no, I will not be covering the latest iteration.
Attention readers: I have been implementing a system that is nothing more than a note to myself; for cues that I want to include in a suite one day, for now on I will denote them with ^ symbol. It has no special meaning to anyone else but myself. No, the lack of an up arrow symbol doesn't mean the cue is bad (it just may have too much SFX or FX for suite use or just isn't worth my time to edit and include). Hence forth this system will be in all future threads and pre-exiting threads that I go back to for missed episodes. Anything in ( ) are just notes to the arrow and you need not bother with that. The system does not mean that I will make a suite or that one has been made, it's simply for my own reference if and when I do decide to.

"Return to Fantasy Island" (another feature-length episode)
By: Laurence Rosenthal
https://www.solie.org/alibrary/FantasyIsland_102ReturntoFantasyIsland.html
As I have found a number of false Rosenthal credits on IMDb for the show, I believe this may be his final effort for the series.

53:25 in.^
58:02 in.^
1:05:05 in.^
1:12:46 in.^
1:25:35 in. The score pauses for a few seconds a couple of times and keeps going to the end of the episode.^
The first one has a slow-moving snake, this one has a slow-moving spider. Yet that doesn't stop the ladies from not shutting the fuck up. Oh I hate it.
Damnit, Mr. Roarke fooled me! Not often a TV series does that anymore, and you usually have to go back to older series.
(NtM: 43:21)
Mr. Roarke: "We are such stuff as dreams are made of."
"You don't leave me with any choice."
Mr. Roarke: "That's the prerogative of having your own island, isn't it?"
Mr. Roarke: "No questions on Fantasy Island, Tattoo."

"Bet a Million / Mr. Irresistible"
By: Elliot Kaplan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohn_RxyaCy4
Highlights:
1:00 in. I'm surprised, but it sounds like they are re-recording the opening theme for every episode so far, with little differences, and then it starts splitting off for the introductions. And the cue after the commercial break.^

34:34 in.^
36:59 in.^

This score has a good variety of styles: western music, dramatic music, romantic material, string leads pieces, disco, more. Not a single episode score from the series was nominated for or won an Emmy.
Dack Rambo -- now there's a manly name. Followed by Guy Stockwell. Two manly names in a row.
Burke: "Loosing your own personal dignity; that's a hell of a price to pay."
Mr. Roarke: "This is my country, my realm, and here I am to be obeyed."

24:39 in.^

46:33 in.^
You know, there are two ways to look at what Mr. Roarke did: He helped the family for a cheap price of fifty-one dollars. The other way: he gladly took fifty-one dollars from two kids.
I despise these "voodoo is real" episodes of TV series. Said it before in other threads, gotta say it again.
A random thought popped into my head because a cue at 40:10 sounded like Henry Mancini: Wouldn't it have been great if Mancini had scored an episode?
"Wait a minute, you can't just leave us here."
Mr. Roarke: "Oh, I assure you I can, Mr. Cranston."
Mr. Cranston: "This is absurd. This is incredibly."
Mr. Roarke: "Indeed. This is Fantasy Island."
Boy (talking about adults): "What can they do alone they can't do with us?"
Girl: "Are you sure you're thirteen?"
Mr. Roarke (to Tattoo): "You do have a cash register for a heart."

Tattoo: "This is no smudge; I'm growing a mustache."
Woman (walks up to Tattoo, bringing a towel to his face): "Here, let me wipe that off for you."
Tattoo: "Wipe what?"
Woman: "Well, you have something ... Oh. My goodness. You're growing it."
Man (to Tattoo): "You have something on your lip."
Mr. Roarke: "Tattoo, would I ever deceive a guest?"
Tattoo: "Does a duck ever make quack quack in the water?"

Featuring some comedic material and some material you would associate with a private detective.
It's a shame Kaplan never did an episode of "Dynasty". He seems to be built for that kind of musical lush style.
Things we know about Tattoo: He's a horny little midget, he goes to the disco, and he consistently loses games hundreds of times to Mr. Roarke.
* = Featuring MV playing checkers.
Tattoo: "If I'm going to give back money, it's got to be dangerous."
Mr. Roarke: "You see, Tattoo, being the owner of Fantasy Island means never having to say you're sorry."

A couple of firsts in this episode: one guy decides to stay in the fantasy permanently, and we see Mr. Roarke inside a grocery store, as opposed to outside or in his office.
17:09 in: I wonder if those string players are real sessions players.
(Note to Me: 1:20/gif, 33:59)
Mr. Roarke: "You asked a King to fix the plumbing?"
Tattoo: "Well, the Queen didn't know how."
"You see, mother, being a house wife is easy if you let it be." (hahahahaaa)
(there are actually crazy people who think stupid crap like that in real life. I great example is a year or two ago some nutjob wrote an article saying that we need to seek consent from babies to change their diapers, that the parents needs to look them in the eye and ask the baby -- which can't speak and shits in diapers -- for permission. Yeah, ah huh. So, if the baby could speak and said "No", I don't think the judge hearing your child-neglect case will agree with the baby... [if I remember, I'll look up the article and post it, or at least the audio of a radio show hosting making fun of it])

I think I figured out the twist of the twins plot, while the disco cue was playing, let's see if I was right...
YES:
NO: ? ?
(I thought there were no twins -- it was the same girl, testing him, quickly changing and putting on an act)
Mr. Roarke: "The French have a name for it: menage-et-trois."
Tattoo: "I have a name of it, too: wow!"
Nina: "Nothing worth doing is worth doing until after the sun sets."

This is the first episode where there is no score while Mr. Roarke is describing the customers coming off the plane. I wonder if that was planned, or the score was just dialed down to zero.
I love that little character touch, where the customer says he found a twenty-dollar bill and hold it out, and immediately we see Tattoo checking his pockets to make sure he didn't lose one. LOL, good job writers.
For the guys here: 27:15 in: three hot girls in swimwear. You're welcome.

I really enjoyed Kaplan's Arabic dancing music. It's full sounding and forwardly aggressive. I can't imagine skipping any of it on a set of season one scoring.
Tattoo: "Boss, what is it?" seeing a large box with a gift ribbon around it.
Mr. Roarke: "It's for you, from all of us on Fantasy Island. You see, we realize that sometimes the ones we love the most, are the first ones we take for granted. It's a token of respect, and appreciation for you, my friend."

On a set of season one scoring, I'd probably only take select cues from this episode score.
I think this episode would have been better had it been Angela Lansbury playing the old lady.
Tattoo: "He looks very nervous."
Mr. Roarke: "Oh, really? Well, he wasn't too nervous to send us his certified check for ten-thousand dollars."
Tattoo: "Oh, I love nervous people. They have a lot of energy."
Tattoo: "Well, you know me boss -- work, work, work. Good-bye, boss. Come on, girls!"

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4jw339
Highlights:
About 2:10 in.
4:27 in.^
9:25 in. Including parody of the theme music to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" -- even down toe the punctuated male vocals.^
17:53 in.^

26:07 in.^
27:13 in.^
28:06 in. Romantic strings-lead montage cue.^

36:12 in.^
37:23 in.^
46:53 in.
Charles Albertine isn't a composer I knew much about, in fact probably just a handful of less of TV scoring, but he's certainly impressing me on this series.
Fantasy Island is a confusing place, so far. You think it's a small island that Mr. Roarke owns and runs, but it turns out it's a large island with residents, a grocery store, and who knows what else. Yet he still in charge somehow. And how he does what he does with the compliance of the islanders, is also confusing. But he does seem to be benevolent, caring about people's feelings and lives, and wants to help. But can still take the money of two little kids. Yeah, still remember that.
24:39 in: MV and his wife going for a cruise.

I really liked what Betts did. It's a shame he apparently didn't score any more episodes; I would have liked to have heard more from him on the series. There are some season five and season six episodes where the composer credit are not solved -- no loads of the episodes I can find. I solved a number of them using loads, to update IMDb two or three weeks ago.

Now we know Fantasy Island is so large it takes a plane to fly to the far side of the island. I don't know how Mr. Roarke runs an island this large. I suspect he's largely hands-off in his approach, dealing with things when he has to.
Can I have my own village of hot blonde girls wanting to desperately bang a Birdman?
No? Well, fuck.

I'm not sure how much of this I would include on a set of season two scoring. The orchestration, while colorful, is rather thing in comparison to all the composers beforehand
That's not how projectors work in real life. Maybe in "Scooby Doo".
* = That fencing fight was rather embarrassing. Just poorly done and no tension whatsoever. You know, I was watching videos learning how to sword fight and I stumbled upon a video an a Hollywood instructor who teaches fencing and -- as a bit of trivia I thought you guys might enjoy -- he said the fencing fight in the film "Rob Roy" is widely considered one of the most realistic fencing scenes in any film. So, here is the scene for those who haven't seen it or simply have forgotten it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERmM5l2ceoY

Not only does Fantasy Island have an airport, but it has an emergency landing strip on the south end of the island.

Mr. Roarke does not give out hand-outs to vagrants. But he does take fifty-one dollars from kids.

SEASON 3:
"Hit Man / The Swimmer"

22:24 in.

About 38:20 in.^
42:16 in. Including a riff on the Disney song (Did they get the rights? Too close to be a parody) "It's a Small World".^
The regular Rosenthal theme is back. And one of his cues is tracked in (not counting source music).
So, Mr. Roarke is not only the law enforcement, the legal system, and now the Mayor of Fantasy Island -- which he owns -- where in the world does he find the time to do all of this with an island so full of people? Just running the estate and helping fantasies, seems to be a near full-time job. ("Island Lord Mayor" as he calls the position)
I demand realism in my fantasy television! ;-)
* = You're a paid assassin. Shoot him in the back while he's slowly swimming away. It's not like it's an ethical thing -- you get money for killing people. Shoot him in the back.
27:02 in: Still better looking than nuBruce Jenner.
Tattoo voting for himself and loosing reminds me of an episode of the late comedian Norm MacDonald's short-lived comedy series "A Minute With Stand Hooper", where Norm runs for Mayor or some such local position. 17:55 in:

I know I've said it multiple times before in other threads, but Ken Harrison is a very talented composer. He's missed in the scoring world.

Lush, romantic string-lead score that I am tempted to say should have at least gotten an Emmy nomination. I may have cited all the score, if not nearly all of it (not counting source music).
10:45 in: Run, MV, run! (Note to Me: two gifs)
Aw, come on -- can't we have a "Dynasty"-style wedding? You know, where men raid it, open fire on everyone, and there's death and destruction? No? Well, what about my fantasy!

Magical Lord Mayor Mr. Roarke still has to run from the C.I.A.; I guess his fantasy wasn't to get away easily. Maybe they should pull over and offer him a drink.

About 43:27 in. Joining a cue already in progress for the chase music.
This time Mr. Roarke has the curtesy to tell the person he is going to give them a "potion".
So, Aphrodite and mermaids are real in Fantasy Island.
Mr. Roarke can take force lightning and turn people into stone. Or at least he can turn fake being into stone. It's not fully clear. But he can do it by looking at them. And he can affect minds just by looking at a person. But he still has to drug them. The universe building on this show leaves a little to be desired.

It's a shame Ken Harrison -- a composer on "Dynasty" -- didn't get to score this episode.
Now Mr. Roarke uses magical doors and potions.
And I am remembering that earlier in the series the fantasies involved other people who had fantasies, Tattoo flying planes and getting shot down, and even the cook shipped in on one. Now the fantasies seems to involve people that are real to the fantasies.

Ugh, the fucking mermaid is back. Well, at least Harrison is re-prising his material from her first appearance, so there's that.
Now Mr. Roarke can gives legs to a mermaid. And no potion is needed. These are some super vague and undefined powers that he has.

Now Mr. Roarke is just offering them the potions instead of drugging (or potioning) them.
Mr. Roarke makes the offer to withdraw a guy from his fantasy. I can't tell if he was doing that to push the guy into doing the right thing or not, but I do recall a few episodes ago he said that was impossible and that a fantasy takes on a life of its own.
Man, if it wasn't for the blonde in the dress with the amazing ... this episode would have been very difficult to get through.
* = Ah, no. That's way way way more than enough time to turn, aim and fire. A truly skilled marksman could have re-loaded a few times and pumped the corpulent hero full of lead. Man, it really is "Fantasy" Island.
Now Fantasy Island has police.
Mr. Roarke: "You see, even a fantasy must have a touch of realty."

What a pleasant score. I'm almost tempted to says Harrison should have gotten at least an Emmy nomination for this.
Mr. Roarke can control animals with his mind ... threw television broadcasts. Yeah, that's Rod Serling suspension of disbelief I can't go with. In order to reach that horse and continually follows it to get that result when you can't actually know precisely where it is when you are not even at the track, his powers would have to to taken in by the TV screen, travel reversely threw the broadcast in the air,, beamed reversely back from the broadcast towers, into the camera that is filming the event live, the shoot out the camera into the horse. I mean, dear fluffy lord. No.
Mr. Roarke can material out of thin air, control minds, create realities, can give mermaids legs, he can make women young again permanently, but ... he can't make a deaf girl hear permanently, even though he did so temporarily. Maybe if she had had two kids that would give him fifty-one dollars...
