Call it whatever you want, but Mr. Howell stalks around for pretty much the whole series with a HUGE bamboo-mug drink glued to his hand, and him and the Mrs. sleep under a real tapa print blanket! Check out the abalone shell candle holders in their hut, too; very classy.

Plenty of Tikis, angry natives, volcano action, nautical details, huts, flowers, and luaus all over the show. Sherwood Schwartz was very aware of the Poly-Pop movement and wanted to do something in the style.

The Waiting for Watubi episode is notorious for finally showing us what Mary Ann's belly button looks like (great) when she and Ginger wear the grass skirts at the end. And Ginger shoves a big diamond into hers, just to grab your attention (more). They're both sexy as heck, and still real curvy in the first season - but unfortunately Black and White!
