Editorial Review: Description: Gomer Pyle, a naive country boy, leaves his home in Mayberry, NC to join the U.S. Marine corps. His perpetual wide-eyed innocence frequently gets on the nerves of his tough, loudmouthed sergeant. A successful spin-off from THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. Amazon.com: Golll-eeeee! The '60s' favorite TV country bumpkin, Gomer Pyle, won the hearts of viewers on The Andy Griffith Show, and spun off in to his own wildly popular series, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.. As the eternally cheery and clueless Gomer, Jim Nabors gives a comic tour de force performance as a newbie Marine under the command of the short-tempered Sgt. Carter, played with demonic fervor by Frank Sutton. Are Pyle and Sgt. Carter bitter foes or comedic sidekicks? "Surprise, surprise, surprise"--the secret to their chemistry was that the actors and characters were both, inseparable and adorable in their signature ways. The scrapes Gomer gets into are fairly routine and never exactly threaten national security, but Nabors' guileless delivery makes viewers tune in for more; the belly laughs are real. The boxed set includes engaging audio commentary by Nabors, who clearly still holds a lot of affection for his hapless alter-ego, as well as all 30 first-season episodes, and the pilot, which actually aired on The Andy Griffith Show. Other gems from the archive treasure trove include appearances by Nabors on The Lucy Show, The David Frost Show, and Nabor's own variety show, which also showcased his accomplished singing.

 Rating: - Gomer Pyle, USMC Season 1Fans of the old Gomer Pyle tv series with Jim Nabors will enjoy these episodes from the first season ..the dvd transfers are well done, and the shows are as funny as they were back in the 60s ! Rating: - What a great show!!!I remember watching this growing up and even when I enjoy it at the time I didn't realise how funny it really is. Can't complain here, purchased it for laughs and is just what I got for my money. "Surprise, surprise, surprise" (jajaja) funny, funny, funny. Rating: - Just like you remember...I bought this for my Grandma. She and I used to watch this together when I was a kid. It's just like we remember, a great blast from the past. Rating: - Gomer Pyle, USMCGomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. - The Complete First SeasonIt's funnier than I remembered! We gave it to our soon to be a Marine son. He loved it and spent a good part of the Christmas break watching Gomer Pyle episodes. The older sitcoms are much kinder and more humorous than the current fare. Rating: - "Gomer Pyle" First Season...Excellent!This is a great old show and a classic. I purchased this for my hubby's birthday and we laugh every time we pop one of the DVD's in. If you're a fan of this old show, this DVD package is a must have! Browse for similar items by category:
