Product Description:
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 who worked as a singer at the Blue Bird Cafe where Gomer and the boys often hung out.DVD Features:Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono)Commentary by: Jim Nabors (select episodes)Dolby Digital 2.0All 30 episodes from the 1964-65 season on five discsGomer Pyle U.S.M.C. pilot episode from The Andy Griffith ShowAudio introductions by Jim Nabors on select episodesJim Nabors interview on The David Frost ShowThe Jim Nabors Hour clipFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097360788648 Manufacturer No: 078864

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: - 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, USMC
Gomer 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!
Rating: - Good Entertainment for the Entire Family
Gomer Pyle is another show in a string of classic sitcoms from the 1960s that still provides hours of enjoyment. The first season debuted at number three in the TV ratings which is pretty good for the first season of any show. A major factor for the quick success was that the character of Gomer Pyle appeared for several years on the Andy Griffith show. Even without that exposure, Gomer Pyle would still have enjoyed great success it just would have taken a little longer. The following episodes in ... Read More
