  • http://www.legendinc.com/Pages/MarbleheadNet/MM/Articles/CatIslandHistory.html seems to suggest it was for smallpox and insanity, not typhoid.
  • It was largely the insanity and smallpox that led them to get the name so wrong.
  • This also served as Game Show Island in eps 2 and 19 of Season 5 of FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman. The 6 FETCHers were picked up at their homes by a Duck Tour vehicle which took them here to find four icons from old game shows; They later came back to obtain the Golden Fetchy, a character-phone like idol that PURRS was going to use to brainwash Go Get It viewers into thinking they were cats!
