CD This Week In the NBA CD Cable Hoolth World Report 63 Nostalgia Theatre - CD ® Time of I 2nd Annual ((Wednesday)) *nm 6:00PM C WgHSroes Fantasies not wild anymore By Andy Noble When NBC's "Fantasy" debuted last year, the show's premise -- granting certain viewers their wildest fantasies -- sounded like it would combine the bathos of "Queen for a Day" with the unabashed avarice of "Supermarket Sweep." Well, sentimentality has been a major element of the show, but apparently, greed hasn't. Most of the fantasies viewers sent in have turned out to be for much more sim­ pler things -- not trips around the world or a night with a movie starlet -- but money to pay bills or help in getting a i°b- The emphasis on more practical fantasies doesn't surprise series co-host Teter Marshall. "That's the way I was hoping it would turn out," he says. "But when it became apparent that relevant fanta­ sies would be so much more important than fluff, I was concerned. I just didn't know whether those sort of fanta­ sies would be entertaining. But obviously they are." Marshall thinks the hard economic times are only par­ tially responsible for this upsurge in bread-and-butter fantasies. "Certainly, hard times are going to be factor, but at all times, there are going to be people in need. Our show helps to fulfill that need either through that person or vicar­ iously through watching it." The show receives about 85,000 fantasy letters each week, which are combed by a staff of about 20 college student volunteers. (Marshall only reads the letters the staff selects.) Usually, says Marshall, the staff goes through about 500-600 letters before finding one that's usable. Oh one recent occasion, however, the students had to pore through 20,000 letters until they hit paydirt. Out of the dozens of fantasies aired since the show' s debut, Marshall says the one that affected him the most was a 12-year-old boy's request for a Donkey Kong game for his best friend who had bone cancer. "This may sound like a little thing, but the letter this young man sent was one of the most poignant I've ever read. I'm paraphrasing, but it basically said 'he's frightened and everybody laugl^gs at him and he doesn't know why they laugh at him -- it's not his fault.' " The fantasy was granted -- and had a happy ending. "The day we read that letter, the boy was going through a bone-marrow transplant. This was in November -- and his cancer is now in complete remission. In a few weeks, " we're going to bring him on the show." ©1M3Compuiog I
