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.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not every song butchered
It is with some relief that I can report at least two episodes from Gomer Pyle fifth season that are plot reliant on songs appear on the DVD set unchanged. The extended musical number between Carol Burnett and Nabors is there and "Blowing In The Wind" miraculosly survived in the hippie episode. I still don't approve of what CBS/Par did to this series, but the episodes I was worried about came through largely unscathed.
(I was also relieved that earlier the climax to the Washington two-parter "Impossible Dream" is there).
Rating: - THE JIM NABORS HOUR: The Followup Series For Gomer Pyle
And somehow I doubt CBS PARAMOUNT will be releasing Jim Nabors followup series soon after GOMER PYLE called THE JIM NABORS HOUR. Too many musical numbers that would be edited out leaving very little left for a DVD.
Rating: - Sorry To See It End
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
Rating: - Final Season for Gomer
I just loved this show and its great to be able to finish off all 5 seasons on dvd!
There are 30 Episodes for Season 5. It really contains some great episodes: My Two favorite season 5 episodes are: Car For Sale and Come Blow Your Top!
Come Blow Your Top had it all. By the fifth season Jim Nabors and Frank Sutton had perfected their roles as Gomer and Sgt Carter respectvely. This storyline exemplified what the entire series was about. Well respected and tough as nails Sgt Carter trying his best to maintain a top notch platoon while the often clumsy but good natured Gomer seemed to always find a way to make waves and get under the Sergeants skin. This episode featured Alan Melvin as Sgt Hacker who put in one of his best performances of the series as he enlisted the help of Gomer to make Sgt Carter blow his top and win a bet at the same time.
