Sorry To See It End 5 out of 5 stars.

As A Die-hard Andy Griffith Show fan,Gomer Pyle,USMC just completes the wonderful experience of great comedy that sort of ties in both shows...Frank Sutton is just fantastic and I feel often overlooked as one of the great character actors of his time..When you have seen these episodes as often as I have,the characters,actors and story lines really are funny.If your a great fan of Mayberry,this series really belongs with that collection.In a way its like having 13 seasons of a time period that all ties together for lots of laughs and memories....I AM alittle upset that some of these episodes have been edited and some of Jim Nabors musical numbers have been ommited.Also,I feel there should have been more commentary from Jim Nabors and maybe some of the surviving cast members.It would be great to hear about the filming of some of these episodes from the actual actors and writers....Great shame that the series ended when it did without any conclusion..Unfortunately,though the show was in the top 20 for its entire run,times were changing for television and like many light-rural comedies of the time,all were canceled to make room for more political and social commentary-like shows that would take tv into the 70s
Editorial Review:
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.

What a great show!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
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.
Good Entertainment for the Entire Family 5 out of 5 stars.

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 Season 1 are my favorites and are classics by any standard:
1. Private Ralph Skunk - Gomer adopts a pet skunk
2. Pay Day - Gomer is accused of loafing by Sgt Carter. Gomer then refuses to collect his pay even at the insistence of the Pentagon.
3. Survival of the Fattest - Gomer and Sgt Carter are paired together for a five-day survival test
4. Sergeant Carter, Marine Babysitter - Because of Gomer, Sgt Carter ends up babysitter an infant instead of going on his date.
5. Sergeant of the Week - Sgt Carter believes that Gomer is dying and goes to extreme lengths to make his last days as comfortable as possible.
6. Love Letters to the Sarge - In order to make Sgt Carter feel good, Gomer starts writing him anonymous lover letters.
7. Officer Candidate Gomer Pyle - Sgt Carter and Gomer both take the Officer Training exam and Gomer obtains a higher score.
8. Gomer Makes the Honor Guard - Sgt Carter needs to select 4 men for the honor guard and he tries everything to keep Gomer from being selected.
9. The Jet Set - Gomer is sent on an errand and ends up on an international flight. (This is my favorite episode in Season 1 and very well may be one of the funniest 30 minutes of comedy ever seen on TV. Basically, Gomer is ordered by Sgt Carter to purchase a specific brand of cigars for a visiting general. Because of his friend Duke, Gomer unwittingly ends up on an international flight to Italy, France, and England. Along the way Gomer calls Sgt Carter to let him know that he is still on his errand to get the cigars. Carter becomes suspicious when he hears foreign voices in the background.)
The 30 episodes in Season 1 will provide endless hours of enjoyment for the entire family. I highly recommend it.

Awesome DVD set!! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I love this DVD set (along with the first year)!! I loved Gomer and especially Sergeant Carter, the Sarge was a HOWL!! What I really like about these DVD's is the quality of them... they really enhanced them as I never realized that the actors wore eye makeup! It is plain as day in these DVD's that they did!! It is awesome video quality and I myself could care less if they cut out some songs (just my opinion, I know it means alot to others!), actually it was 30 years ago so I don't remember what songs were in the originals anyhow!
Laughs Anyone 5 out of 5 stars.

Just finish this set I love it. Was laughing so hard I had to keep stoping the DVD's just to be able to keep track of what was going on. You will love this set.
Great Gift! 5 out of 5 stars.

Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. 5 out of 5 stars.

I loved all four seasons of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. The last 3 seasons are in color. They were very touching, moving, to remember how gentle those shows were in comparison to today's programming. I also noticed that two of the actors who became Corporal Klinger and Father Mulhaney in MASH were on Gomer Pyle first. It is clear that Gome Pyle influenced a future MASH in two episodes. I loved all four seasons and wished there were more.

Edited, again, and it's not just the music 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
The history of these DVD sets since season one has had the episodes literally butchered when it came to the music in the show. Even a small snipit of Sargent Carter singing "The Night Was Meant For Love" in one episode, or a full version of Gomer singing "This Train is a Going Home Train", the cheapsakes that are producing these DVD sets of Gomer Pyle make even Season 4 a disappointment. However, in watching these episodes I'm finding that it's not just music that's cut; there is also dialog in scenes that's been hacked out. Because of the electronic graphic and CG era that we live in, I look forward to shows being released on DVD because there are no "bugs" in the corners of the screens, no animated graphics promoting upcoming shows, or any other distractions. The shows for the most part are the way they should be seen, uncut and commercial free. This is not the case with the Gomer Pyle DVD's including season 4. Dialog, music and other scenes cut because the production companies don't want to pay the royalties for the music included in the original releases. Why dialog is cut, I'm not sure. I was such a fan of this show, and really wanted a complete collection of the episodes, but I'm very disappointed in the results that have come about on my store shelves. If we continue to purchase these edited sets, the production companies will continue to put out these cheap imitations of the real show. I've written a letter to CBS with a formal complaint, but I know it will fall on deaf ears. But if more enthusiasts like us continue, maybe we'll make a difference. If you're an avid fan of Gomer, then this is the best we can get for now. I only wish they were complete episodes.

Gomer..........Season 3 5 out of 5 stars.

Hilarious....some great episodes included in the 3rd season of Gomer Pyle...well worth the investment....I already have pre-ordered season 4
I've been waiting for Lou Ann Poovie 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Half way through the third season Lou Ann Poovie finally meets Gomer. I've been waiting for Lou Ann since the first season in Black and White. Well Actually...She is as awesome and ditzy as I remember her. And maybe I'm the only one that noticed but Sgt Carter's girlfriend Bunny is around in the beggining of the 3rd season and by the middle of the season she isn't in any episodes and Sgt. Carter and Duke are love struck by Lou Ann Poovie. That Sgt. Carter moves on quickly...Or maybe Bunny just got on his nerves since they are both "Type A" personalities. This season is full of surprises. One surprise that cracked me up is when the Ultra Liberal anti-war Rob Reiner was was inquiring from Gomer about enlisting in the Marines (coincidentally that episode was aired in the pinnacle of the Vietnam War, typical Hollywood Liberal!). But then he stayed true to his liberal roots in the Beatnic episode when he asked Gomer how to get out of the Marines once he got in. However, I must say, that Beatnic episode is a bit shocking as Stg. Carter rips the blouse off the Colonel's daughter and exposes a womans bra on television. That left me a bit shell shocked that a womans bra was shown on TV in the golden age of the 1960's.
