Were these Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. scenes originally in black and white or did we change them?

Did these moments happen in early episodes or later in full color?

 

Like The Beverly Hillbillies or Lost in Space, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. started right before the switch to color. All 30 episodes of the first season were broadcast in black and white during the 1964-1965 television season. Everything after that, seasons two through five, were in color.   

Here are some memorable moments and guest stars taken from different seasons of the show. Can you guess which ones we switched from color to black and white and which ones were black and white to begin with?

  1. Does Gomer help sneak someone's girlfriend into the barracks in a black and white episode or color?
  2. Is this scene with Carol Burnett supposed to be in black and white or color?
  3. Did Gomer take care of this cat in a black and white or color episode?
  4. Did Don Rickles guest star in color or black and white?
  5. Did Gomer first meet Lou-Ann Poovie in color or black and white?
  6. Lieutenant Colonel Van Pelt was only in what kind of episodes?
  7. Before he was Captain Stubing, Gavin MacLeod played a conman in Gomer Pyle. Was it a color or black and white episode?
  8. Did cousin Goober visit in a color or black and white episode?
  9. Gomer got the lieutenant treatment in this scene from what kind of episode?
  10. Was this canine episode in color or black and white?
  11. Was Ellen Corby's first appearance in color or black and white?
  12. Gomer patrolled the streets as part of the Military Police in this scene from what kind of episode?
  13. Gomer helped bake bread in which kind of episode?
  14. Before his more famous role in another military sitcom, Wayne Rogers appeared in this Gomer Pyle episode. Was it in color or black and white?
  15. Did Duke Slater become a corporal in color or black and white?
  16. Is this scene with Opie supposed to be in black and white or color?
  17. Did a movie star stop by the barracks in a color or black and white episode?
  18. Was the no-nonsense Captain Martin in a color or black and white episode?
  19. Is this training fight supposed to be in color or black and white?
  20. Did Duke become a comic in color or black and white?

Were these Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. scenes originally in black and white or did we change them?

I got 18/20. I really got 19/20. I said Duke became a Corporal in color. He was a Corporal Slater in Season 5, which is color. They erroneously said black and white.
No, they correctly say color. perhaps you erroneously clicked black and white?

I am a fan of Lou Ann Poovie on
GOMER PYLE USMC and
Mary Ann Summers on Gilligan's Island And Corporal Boyle on GOMER PYLE USMC.
Lou Ann Poovie was played by Elizabeth MacRae and
Mary Ann Summers was played by Dawn Wells and Cpl. Boyle

Well gollllllllllllllllllly! I thought Gomer was an MP in one B&W episode. Maybe he was but I picked the wrong episode. Shazam!!
