Yet _Robot Gilligan does recognize Balinkoff-of course he keeps misprouncing the words "Mad scientist" and likewise robot Ginger recognies him as well-when he tries to kiss her-she slaps him silly with one punch! Of course Scotti also was a twice recuring characther-as Crazy Japanese sailor who doesn't know WW II is over!

While Sherwood Schwartz was a writer for Balinkoff in both episodes, there was a different second writer as well..could explain why the castways only recognize Balinkoff as when they are robots!
