Storyline

Gomer Pyle was a sweet but not too smart Marine from Mayberry, North Carolina who was stationed at Camp Henderson near Los Angeles, California. Gomer's innocence, naivete and low-key demeanor often got him into trouble, most frequently at the hands of his loud-mouthed superior, Sgt. Carter. Duke, Frankie, Lester and Larry were some of Gomer's pals and fellow enlisted men at Camp Henderson, and Lou Anne Poovie was his sometimes girlfriend. Written by Marty McKee <[email protected]>

Did You Know?

Trivia

Although Gomer joining the Marines was originally depicted in a 5th season episode of the The Andy Griffith Show, this was apparently ignored when the series began filming its regular run. In the Griffith episode, the character of Sgt. Carter is introduced to both the audience and Gomer. Andy Taylor tells Carter a few tall tales about Gomer's lineage in hopes he will treat him better. However, in the first regular GPUSMC episode, Gomer is seen getting a signature military haircut still in his civilian clothes. Carter has never met him. See more »

Goofs

When wearing uniforms with ribbons, Carter often wears an Army Good Conduct Medal ribbon (which is awarded for serving at least 2 years or one year in combat). This is probably an homage to actor Frank Sutton's WWII Army service. However, he does not wear a Marine Corps Good Conduct Ribbon, which is authorized for 3 years of active service. As a Gunnery Sergeant and Drill Instructor, he would have served over 3 years active as a Marine - hence, earning the award. See more »

Would like to have all 150 episodes on DVD
12 June 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I enjoyed this show as a youngster and have not seen Gomer Plye USMC in years.

My new husband happens to be a retired Marine, Gunnery Sgt and he loved this show as well, being the "DI" he was.

This would make a wonderful father's day, birthday or a whatever gift to have all the episodes for him.

Hopefully it will happen!

Is it possible to have this collection on DVD???

So to all of you Gomer Pyle USMC fans, Get out there and vote for this wonderfully, funny, all time classic.
