I enjoyed the program over the years ,,Having enlisted in the Army at about the same time gomer did the Corps,,most of the humor is fine tho actually of course Gomer would have been placed in the Odd squad and sent home in a few days ,,very rough days of motivation etc,,Suttons part is very well done tho total comedy and of course as usual the Recruit actors are ten years older then the parts they play,,
Of course what saddens me greatly is the beginning of each show where gomer marches along with a group of actual recruits ,,Young,,at san diego just about to enter recruit training,,
Late 1964-65,,those marines would have been among the first into Vietnam,,I always wonder how many were killed and casualties over the next four years while the only mention of viet was one officer wearing a vietnam service ribbon in a later show,,yes we know with Gomer singing a peace song later by a few years,,its "only a tv show etc" Those young marines are Still marching into the cauldron at the beginning of every show,,

In some ways, the pilot episode of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. was actually an episode of The Andy Griffith Show. A season four Andy Griffith episode tells the story of how Gomer went from Mayberry to the Marine Corps. But the actual first episode of the spinoff came a few months later in the fall of 1964.

“Gomer Overcomes the Obstacle Course” gives a great introduction to the friction between Gomer and his exasperated drill instructor Sgt. Carter. It also shows how Gomer can remain optimistic and endear himself to the right people, which even makes Sgt. Carter look good!

How well do you know the premiere of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.? There aren't any high walls or rope swings, but this quiz may still be tough to get through for anyone but the biggest Gomer Pyle fans. Good luck!
