I don't know who's responsible for the closed captioning on these old TV episodes from the late 70s/early 80s, but they're pretty bad.
It's as if they paid someone to caption the dialogue on a mostly "best effort" basis. About 10-20% of the dialogue is missing, and often they'll just insert [INDISCERNIBLE] as the caption when it was pretty understandable to me.
I've even seen typos or wrong words in the captioning, which wouldn't be too bad, but then it pauses and a correction is subsequently given, which seems more like what would happen if it were being captioned live. I would think that for a recorded program, a captioner would simply correct the previous error.
Fortunately, I don't need captions to enjoy the program. I just like having them on in case I happen to miss hearing something due to background noise.
I wonder whether these poor captions are common to other MeTV programs, or if it's just these syndicated Love Boat episodes.
