(Was he tired of being large and homely and switched with Ginger behind the doctor's back?) Likewise, when Balingkoff and Igor changed minds with the cat and dog, who let the cages open seconds after the transference? Could the glass cages have an auto-unlock mechanism? </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">If you watch closely, the subtle mannerisms of the "Gilligan" and "Mr. Howell" characters are missing when <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Bob%20Denver%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Bob%20Denver%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BBob%20Denver%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-5729057085f60dbc274a4b" href="/wiki/Bob_Denver" title="Bob Denver">Bob Denver</a> and <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Jim%20Backus%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Jim%20Backus%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BJim%20Backus%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-5729057085f60dbc274a4b" href="/wiki/Jim_Backus" title="Jim Backus">Jim Backus</a> play each other characters; thereby detracting from what could have been much more credible scenes.
