Is this Gomer Pyle in The Andy Griffith Show or Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.?

With name, setting and uniform crossover, can you tell which show these freeze-frames of Gomer Pyle are from?

On Now
MeTV Presents the Best of Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle
Up Next:

Calling Gomer Pyle an interesting character may be the biggest understatement on MeTV.com! Gomer is certainly his own person and Andy Taylor, Barney Fife and even Sgt. Carter couldn't change his personality. 

He's also interesting because he appears in two hit shows, showing a natural progression from auto mechanic in Mayberry to private in the military. Rarely do we see so much crossover between shows as we do in The Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.

With that said, we want to see if you can tell which show Gomer Pyle is in, based on a single image!

To make things a little more interesting, we've made every image of Gomer appear in black and white! You just might have to use the background and other clues to help you choose the correct answer! 

Good luck!

12 of 12. Big Gomer fan here but there we a few tricky ones. You have to remember that on the Andy Griffith show Gomer never got a haircut so when he had some hair on his forehead it was a dead giveaway. On the first episode of Gomer he got a real buzzcut within the first minute or so, so when he doesn't have any hair it's an early Gomer episode.

Nine out of twelve. Why is he lying on the floor in #4? And who is that in #8?

I believe it's when Andy saved Gomer's life by putting out a fire in the filling station when Gomer fell asleep. Andy tried to even the score and have Gomer rescue him, but Gomer passed out first. This is very similar to an episode in Gomer Pyle USMC when Sgt Carter saves his life and tries to even the score and Gomer screwed that one up too. As for number 8, I think it's Private First Class Pyle.

4/12 I could've swore that #5 was from The Andy Griffith show.

He somehow bypassed the barber in TAGS, but in Gomer he got a real buzz cut in the first minute.

He got a Section 8 because of...Well, you know!

You mistake Gomer for Jim Nabors. The story was that it needed to be a comedy and if they addressed Vietnam there wouldn't be anything to laugh at. Someone should have told the producers of Hogans Heroes.

Question #5 is wrong. Gomer gets his first Marine haircut in the Andy Griffith Show episode that spun off Gomer Pyle USMC.
DrJayJack TravisBalling 18 months ago
It was the very first Gomer Pyle USMC episode that the haircut happened. On Andy Griffith's show, there was no haircut just the inspection.

You are correct.
