You're probably right that they don't care about accuracy, but we do. This is a forum, not Facebook! Roger, that's exactly what I do. I doesn't take long to do it properly when it's a short back and forth conversation, or a quick aside. When Skipper posts a whole scene as a 'favorite quote', it takes me much longer to check. Don't rely on the subtitles to be 100% the same as what's actually spoken. They're a good starting point, but sometimes they can get abbreviated to reduce the reading. I also remember one episode where the character says "plowboys" and the subtitles say "cowboys". It's not the only time they were wrong. HossC... Yer right. I discovered the subtitles are wrong on other shows too. In Gilligan's Island Season 1 The Sound of Quacking, in Gilligan's Marshall Gilligan dream sequence, when he says about Emily the duck "They'll never get Emily!" The subtitles say "They'll never get a leap!" Edited July 31 by Skipper Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pointing out Hoss's being right about not relying on the subtitles. Giving an example of them being wrong on other shows too. The closed captions can be wrong for anything.
