Trivia

 * Russ Grieve returns playing an native chief in Gilligan's Mother-in-Law.
 * In this episode, the Professor seems unable to communicate with the tribe, but he must have figured out their language while tied up or did research from a book he had on the island because he turns into the Castaways primary translator in later episodes.
 * It is kind of far-fetched that natives on distant islands could hear Gilligan's drumming from a distance.

Quotes

 * Mr. Howell - "This is a very difficult instrument. It's easy to play a wind instrument." Skipper - "Yeah, especially for you with all that hot air." Mr. Howell - "Heavens to Toscanini! I've been insulted!"
