Thanks for the tip. Had never heard of it. Going to check it out.

Season two sees the entrance of the regrettable Ilsa Pucci character as part of an overall remake of the series, thanks to studio meddling. She really spoils the premise of the show. While I've seen no confirmation, strong suspicions here that the writers agreed, considering that the character's last name is a sound-alike for the Simpsons character Poochie; a character that was simply a joke about adding a lame new character to a show because a network wanted to liven things up.
