The Skipper's Superstitions - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

People often talk about the continuity errors on Gilligan's Island. Here is one tha bothers me.

We know that the Skipper is superstitious, as he is always warning Gilligan about Voodoo, in the "Witdoctor" episode, the "Chimp in the Supply Hut" episode, and the "Kona" episode.

But in Ghost-Go-Go, he insists that "There's no such thing as ghosts, there never was, and there never will be." How is this?

I always thought being superstitious and believing in ghosts to be separate matters.

I agree with ph1l- they are two separate things. I know people who are very superstitious but don't believe in the paranormal.

I forgot the episode, but I know the Skipper gives Gilligan two things and ones a rabits foot and he says if one doesn't work use the other (can't remember what it was either). Then in Gilligan's Living Doll he makes fun of Gilligan for having one.
