The last TG script written by Ed Scharlach, and second of three for Warren Murray, is easily the best in a long while. It's witty, e.g. the line "You're a disgrace to the service," and farcical in a fresher way than many of the rather worn and tired episodes of the third and fourth seasons. It begins when Jerry rushes in from the barber shop. (I thought there'd be a line about him being clean-shaven now but the mustache seems to have been a one-episode aberration. Or maybe, ironically, he shaved for Lancelot Link voice-overs.) He's seen a centerfold in Playpen magazine that appears to be of Ann. It turns out to be her head in prehistoric Photoshop on another woman's body. Donald presumably has never actually seen her nude, so he reacts. And of course Lew reacts. And then the children's host Captain Gooney (Kenneth Mars), who's just hired Ann, reacts. And throughout Ann reacts to all the reactions. Also, Ann has some amazing outfits in this episode. Note, Ann is Miss February, another example of the confusing chronology on this show.
This time Bob Ross plays Bob, although he's still a Waiter at Nino's, so it may be the same character. The wonderfully voiced Hal Peary plays Lew's friend Harvey.
