This happens with The Simpsons and other animated shows all the time. Scripts are sent out to be captioned far in advance, and rarely are last-minute changes in dialogue reflected in the captioning. I remember in particular a Simpsons Super Bowl episode that made a crack about the Catholic church that the ex-Mrs. Murdoch allegedly demanded be excised. The spoken dialogue reflected the cut, but the captioned dialogue did not, and still doesn t, even after multiple syndicated repeats.
Reading can be fun.
Take Ben s advice. Read along with your favorite shows. Prepare for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon . You ll be glad you did. Unless, of course, you agree with our next Civilian Voice, Paul D .
