"Show Me a Hero / Slam Dunk" (Fantasy Island)
Season 5, Episode 1
Aired: Oct. 10, 1981
Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban) welcomes his goddaughter, Julie (Wendy Schaal), as his assistant-in-training with Tattoo (Herve Villichaize).
This episode was originally supposed to star Melinda Naud (Happy Days)... until a scandal behind the scenes at ABC - involving network President Fred Pierce hiring a psychic to pick shows - became public. It was Naud who introduced the psychic (Beverlee Dean) to Pierce... and caused ABC VP Tony Thompoulous to fire Naud as a result.
At the same time, Villichaize had threatened to walk off the show if Aaron Spelling didn't meet his demands. As a result, producers hired his potential replacement should he leave the show.
