When Alan Hale Jr. played the part of "the Skipper", he referred to Gilligan as " little buddy" on a regular basis. Hale also played a guest role on The Andy Griffith Show (1960) as farmer "Big Jeff Pruitt" in Season 2 episode 13: The Andy Griffith Show: The Farmer Takes a Wife (1962), prior to this series. In that episode, he refers to Don Knotts' character Barney Fife, as "little buddy" on several occasions as well. According to producer Sherwood Schwartz, Hale had a habit of calling everyone "little buddy", so Schwartz incorporated that habit into the Skipper's character. And Bob Denver guest starred in Divorce Mountain Style as Dud Walsh.
