Best episode of Gomer Pyle: When Sgt. Hacker bets Carter that he can’t go 24 hours without yelling at Pyle. Carter finally drives way off into the desert and screams his head off. I nearly pee myself every time I see it.
Frank Sutton= genius.
Interesting! I just watched that episode today with my kids! Looked like Carter was gonna rupture an aneurysm trying to keep it all in. My kids love how Gomer is so transparent and without guile. Truly a fantastic show! I think my favorite show about Pyle is actually the Mayberry lead-in to that show (the show is not yet Gomer Pyle USMC), a black and white production, where Andy drops off Gomer at boot camp - where Gomer meets Carter for the first time - its an absolute (and literal) scream!
I like the one where Gomer goes too a diner in town and eats something that makes him have wild dreams and is sleep walking chewing out Carter. Of course in real life USMC sleep walkers get a medical discharge. Still it was halarious.
