This episode was put into a story and Sargent Carter had an evil twin who really was an professional safecracker and got Sargent Carter into a mess of trouble. This was of course when the actors where on breaks or at night.
This was television when it was measuring up to the expectations of people. Wholesome, REAL entertainment. And even though this took place during the early years of the Vietnam war, it avoided being political, which when you considered that it was based on the USMC, was really quite a feat. And it also managed to paint a picture of the USMC that was neither derogatory toward the Corps nor was it excessively supportive. It had a nice balance.
Season 1 while Gomer was in boot camp was about the funniest of the series. Love the part when Gomer pulls Sgt Carter into the pool, LOL. Sgt: "I got an 80 year old grandmother that can go up better than that". Gomer: "well bless her heart!".
"Because the Marines felt that the show would be good for the branch's image, Gomer Pyle was given "total cooperation," meaning that the show was allowed unlimited access to military equipment.] Nabors always said he had a hard time watching the shows opening credits, as many of the Marines he was filmed training with were later killed in Vietnam." GOMER PYLE, USMC Wiki page.
Brings up images of Full Metal Jacket. "Why private Pyle, you mean to tell me you don't know your left from your right?!". SMACK! This is your left. SMACK!! This is your right!
I thought Sgt. Carter said first word out of their mouth should be sir? They never started a sentence with sir. He never corrected them. Pyle did it later, at the door.
In the last episode of the fourth season of "Andy Griffith", Gomer tells Andy he has joined the Marines, because he realized he would eventually be drafted into military service.
I really feel like Stanley Kubrick watched this particular episode when he was working on "Full Metal Jacket," even down to the obstacle course buffoonery.
My father in law was a “lifer” Marine. Second Division. Fought at Tarawa, Roi Island and Saipan. He was in Korea and got out just at the start of the VIET NAM war. He loved this show. Why? I don’t quite know but he was a great man.
Whew. Bloody Tarawa. God blessed us with such men. At age 17, my dad was in hand to hand combat in Korea. He was of eight Marines featured in Life magazine because they all re-upped for a 2nd tour. Dad made Sgt just before age 20. Three Purple Hearts, Bronze and Silver stars with Oak Leaf clusters.
I mean to say, two tours Korea, three tours Viet Nam. Lots of TDY for installing radio communications in various countries on 4 continents. Plus salvage for US Navy.
A.P. Shreveport actor frank Sutton died here tonight before taking the stage he collapsed in his dressing room and died June 28 1974
BUZZED!!

He asked Pyle what his name was,he had already met Pyle before when Andy brought him there.
This a different episode from Andy Griffin version
I think the writers of Forest Gump lifted some materiel from Gomer Pyle
I had a bit of trouble getting over that wall. I did make it. The O course is a winner.
FULL METAL JACKET 😂
SO SAD THAT FRANK SUTTON DIED AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE!!!!!
Love this show
Theres a idiot in every company in boot
A war would be over before Gomer gets done with boot camp lol
Why do I all of a sudden want a rabbit ridge ?
Pyles is out of uniform.
watching this after FMJ makes way too much sense. wow. kubrick really pulled from history
I miss the ads for the Truck Driving schools... love Gomer, but those ads were just as nostalgic...
He was too gay
Thats why people go deaf when they come out of the service
The first word out of your mouth will be sir. So why did they say Yes sir 🤦♂️ haha
I’m relatively young (only 19) yet I love this old style humour. It’s really refreshing compared to the formulaic, edgy comedy of today.
That's acting. They shaved his head you can't fake that.
Yes good will watching
ha ha😆😆
🤩
I never saw this one, thought I viewed all of them…

First word was "yes" not "sir" right after he said first word is "sir"

I think its pathetic when someone has to repeat what the actors say as if the rest of can't hear
@@judyelmer2257 what kind of comment is that?
This series needs to be remade with all the profanity and abuse that Gomer really would have received.

When I first saw this I laughed when I got out if the Marine Corps after serving eight years

I went through Marine Corps boot camp in 1971. They would have surveyed his ass as soon as he opened his mouth. It's good entertainment though.
8:17
Gomer made joining the Marines look sort of fun.
They were instructed that the first word out of their mouth's should be sir. Yet, they all said, "yes, sir."
I Can't Hear Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
I always thought Beetle Bailey and Sarge was based on Gamer Pile USMC
Beetle Bailey hit the funny papers in 1950!
Did Pyle enlist or was he drafted .. asking for a friend .. 🙂
In the last episode of the fourth season of "Andy Griffith", Gomer tells Andy he has joined the Marines, because he realized he would eventually be drafted into military service.
@@karmafilmsnm Thanks, BTW I’ve been to Mt Airy and camped at Pilot Mountain = a fun and interesting trip.
None of those push ups counted because his butt was too high and his back was not straight.
Loved this when I was a little kid.
This is absolutely hilarious
Carter the sadist‼️®™️🤣🤣
He was training those boys not to get killed.
I really feel like Stanley Kubrick watched this particular episode when he was working on "Full Metal Jacket," even down to the obstacle course buffoonery.
Kubrick took many inspirations from this episode.
Gomer actually has a guardian angel and always whips sgt carters ass without knowing
I don't see Private Snowball
lefleflef-idle-lef....
Where's private Snow Ball at?

he was the real deal.
@@dont-want-no-wrench forgot to include that he retired as a “Gunney” I was the typical “meathead in college” but we loved each other.

Those were bloody battles. He was lucky to make it out alive. One of my uncles was also at Saipan.
Every Platoon had at least 1 Gomer Pyle
Full metal jacket did
In the real world Gomer would have been given code reds until he stopped acting like an idiot.
