Actually the word "tree" was substituted for vine in a negotiation with the censors, as revealed in an interview with writer Kim Weiskopf.

I wont spoil too much as this is one of my favorites from Season 4 and my review wouldn't do it justice.

It's nice to see the gang out of the apartment for most of the episode. A nice change of pace. Turns out the "chalet" Larry told everyone about is simply a one room cabin. ...and guess what? Everyone shows up, throwing a wrench into Larry's plan to be alone with his girlfriend Laura. (Louise Williams).

You'll get some tremendous physical comedy in this show. The hammock scene is iconic and quite rightly so.

Louise Williams first entrance into the cabin is hilarious.

Highly recommended!

Brighton does an excellent Rod Serling imitation right off the bat, while Gracie plays checkers with her "imaginary friend". I'll try not to spoil too much here as this is an excellent episode from Season 1.

This is a Gracie episode. Up to this point in the show she's shown excellent range and timing, in a sitcom, for someone this young. You will see quite a bit more of it in this episode. A rollercoaster of emotions for both Gracie and Fran in this show. ....but it does bring them closer together in the end. Despite the somewhat sad subject matter, this is a very funny episode.

I've seen every episode of The Nanny but I had surgery and I'm watching a few episodes per day.

Another zinger from Niles mocking CC's Safari outfit. Actually Lauren looks excellent in it when she takes the helmet and scarf off.

Maxwell has a toothache. At the breakfast table, Fran insists Max takes care of his tooth. She also tells him she has an uncle Myron who is a dentist and works on Saturday's. Max reminds Fran that he promised to take the kids to the zoo with CC Fran makes the suggestion CC takes the kids to the zoo.

Uh oh, this probably isn't going to go well and it doesn't.

I love the short bits with Uncle Myron's grandson Robby, "the tap dancing genius". Especially the 2nd time when Robby tells CC he can juggle as well as dance. CC's response is extremely mean, as you would expect. ...but hilarious due to her delivery.

Gracie disappears twice in the episode. Fortunately the 2nd time she's not far away and that sets up a touching moment with Fran & Gracie in the ladies room.

Lots of laughs in this enjoyable episode.

Leave it up to Lenny & Squiggy to take advantage of a poor gal who's bumped her head. With friends like that, you certainly need friends like Laverne & Carmine. (Lenny & Squiggy are at their mishchzevious best in this episode as well).

Actually Cindy Williams is fantastic in this episode. As another reviewer stated, she has fantastic range. Definitely out of character for her to take on the role of an "exotic dancer". She does it convincingly. Actually everyone sells their parts very well.

I really don't want to spoil too much but for me personally this would be in my top 10 shows from the series. There are lots of laughs and it's likely you'll be engaged from the beginning to the tag.

Well performed, directed & written.

Highly recommended.
