A new language translation device (Random Access Multiple Concurrent Linguistic
Analytical Sequencer) installed in Vicki enables her to understand any
language...even animals, like the bosses' dog. Mrs. Jennings forces Mr.
Jennings to fire Ted when Joan balks at doing uncredited work for an affair.
A really silly premise, yet what was more interesting were the ideas bandied
around before it. The original idea was to have our first off-studio show at
Marineland where Vicki would understand and talk to dolphins about a secret
pollution site since dolphins were a real-life communications research target
(and more credible than talking to frogs and hamsters) but economics and
repeating what Star Trek's Spock recently did swiftly deep-sixed that idea. The
kids had fun with the zoo brought in for the show and it was cute watching
Brissette get used to handling a mouse.
Notable is Jerry Supiran's brother,
Ricky, as the boy with the sick frog.
