Gomer Pyle,
U.S.M.C.
The Gomer Pyle
series was a spinoff from The Andy Griffith
Show. Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., premiered on CBS
on September 25, 1964 and exited September 19, 1969 after
completing 150 episodes.
Gomer Pyle
started on The Andy Griffith Show
during the third season as the dimwitted
mechanic. His ignorance but honesty really was annoyance
to Andy and Deputy Barney Fife. After the first season, Jim
Nabors (Gomer) was offered a series of his own. The
spinoff began as an episode on The Andy
Griffith Show where Gomer enlists into
the Marines.
Private Pyle
is stationed at Camp Henderson, California assigned to tough as
nails Sergeant Carter's platoon. Sergeant Carter played by
Frank Sutton can handle anything except Private Pyle's back
woods naivete and
slow learning ability. This combination made this show
hit.
