B-
Mrs. Howell, who in the previous episode missed high society events, here starts an orchestra among the castaways. Unfortunately, natives at two of the neighboring islands think Gilligan is playing war drums. Not as racist as it could be, the episode, written by Al Schwartz and Howard Harris, has some funny moments*, and I like the band. Russ Grieve again plays a native, not necessarily the same one as before, while Frank Corsentino, who's also a native, would be a tailor on Soap. (I'm not tagging them though.)
*I must note that there's a suggestive moment when Mary Ann kisses Gilligan on the cheek and the musical saw twangs, like a proto-schwing, although I'm not sure how much of this was intentional.
