Gilligan's Island: Slave Girl

The Professor translates as needed.
Gilligan's Island: Slave Girl
CBS
March 20, 1967
Sitcom
DVD
C+

I went back and forth on this one.  On the one hand, the idea of Gilligan having a slave girl is pretty noxious, even if it's not his choice.  On the other, the actress's performance, and that of her chief, are actually pretty good.  Furthermore, I like seeing how the castaways are so loyal to each other.  Well, except when the girls and the Howells are competing for Midori's services.  And we again have natives who sometimes speak English and sometimes don't, and it's very arbitrary.  But then I do like the band that some of castaways form, and Ginger's veil-dance.  So C+ it is.
