The Sound of Quacking - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: During the dream sequence, when Gilligan starts a showdown with Mr. Howell and the Professor, someone's face appears in the window in the background for a second, and it's none of the castaways - someone in the filming crew most likely.

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.

Goodbye Island - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: While they are at the front or side of the damaged boat, you can see that the dark windows above them are obviously painted on, rather poorly in some spots, and not real windows.

Cincydog

The Big Gold Strike - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: As the raft starts to sink, Lovey goes into the water on the back side of the raft. When the camera is in a close up of Mr. Howell, she's sitting beside him again. Then she's neck-deep in the water in the next wide shot.

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.

Eunice Wentworth "Lovey" Howell: Anyone who says money can't buy happiness doesn't know where to shop.

Trivia: In the opening credits of the black-and-white episodes, the US flag at the marina is at half-mast because the opening was filmed shortly after the Kennedy assassination.

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.
