Ricardo Montalban, as Koli, fills the role, but with nothing special. He has one good song, a Calypso mockery of mankind called "Monkey in a Mango Tree." Josephine Premice, as the opportunistic second-to-most-eligible female around, is first rate, especially in "Leave the Atom Alone," an amusing try by the show's authors to be socially significant.
