This Staretski & Rips episode has a couple mentions of Chrissy, but she's otherwise absent.  (The phone tags would start later.)  I don't think she's particularly necessary to the story and I would've gone with a B-, but Mr. Furley being chased by a fat masseuse wasn't particularly funny.  To balance that a little, when he makes his entrance in his ski clothes, he's a walking sight gag and the studio audience appreciates it.  Jack is deceiving a girl again, this time ski enthusiast Inga (Laurette Spang, who was Juanita Havlicek, daughter to the Tom Bosley and Cloris Leachman characters, in the first Love Boat TV-movie).  Larry is proud of Jack, and Janet is dubious.

This is the 900th sitcom I've reviewed (not counting dramedies), so hitting 1000 should be no problem.
