This Mark Tuttle episode has some things I like about it, like that Janet, who in an earlier episode had said her father was half Italian, understands some of the language, and of course that Mr. Furley wears that crazy chef's outfit.  But it's kind of hard to get past that Chrissy keeps getting Jack into serious trouble without suffering any consequences herself.  It reminds me of the "Why don't the other castaways kill Gilligan?" question.  And speaking of Gilligan's Island, the title character, Bernie Bustamente, is played by Harold J. Stone, who was Dubov on GI, as well as Gabe Kotter's father.  Mickey Morton, who plays Floyd, also has a Gilligan credit, as a Native.
