A small thing I noticed - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

During the opening segment of the "Robot" episode, Skipper is complaining about having to do the laundry (while Gilligan does the work

) anyway Skipper says, "... after all, a man works his way up to be captain of his own ship, he should get a little respect.....". When he says "ship" his mouth looks to be saying "boat". Is this my imagination, or has anyone else ever noticed that?

I never noticed that before. I will have to look for it next time I watch it.

That's exactly what happened----he said the word "boat" when they were shooting and later (for whatever reason) they got him to dub in "ship."

I've noticed this several times in a lot of different shows, so I guess it's pretty common.
