Ghost-a-Go-Go - S2-E27

Continuity mistake: When Skipper tries on the sheet to teach Gilligan not to be scared, we see him putting it on and it is solid white. However, when Gilligan says he isn't scared he says it is because a "ghost doesn't wear a sheet that says S.S. Minnow on it." Now the sheet has wording on it. (00:08:45)

Goodbye Island - S1-E9

Other mistake: Where Gilligan is yelling to everyone "Don't get on the minnow, the glue won't hold!" you can see a pack of Chesterfield cigarettes sticking out of his left front pants pocket.

The Big Gold Strike - S1-E10

Other mistake: As the girls are trying to land their catch, the Skipper comes by and starts to help. Although he was walking by, when he starts to help, his pants legs are already wet from previous takes.

Movie Nut

Professor Roy Hinkley: Listen, Gilligan, how far down was she? How many feet?
Gilligan: Professor, in navy circles, we don't say "feet." We say "fathoms."
Professor Roy Hinkley: All right, how many fathoms?
Gilligan: Oh I don't know, about 15 feet.

Voodoo - S3-E5

Question: In this episode, as the Professor is put into a trance, in the background, there seems to be a radio or television transmission tower that can be seen over the roof of the hut. It's blurry, but doesn't seem to be a standard palm tree. Is this a mistake, or set error, or my imagination?

Movie Nut

Chosen answer: It looks like a mistake to me I see it when the Professor is put into a trance, but it is not there later.
