From the boondocks to the barracks, Jim Nabors' standout portrayal of sweet as pie, goofy local mechanic Gomer Pyle on The Andy Griffith Show landed him his own series after little more than a year. In an expertly remastered Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.: The Complete First Season, the dim-witted yet appealing Pyle has left Mayberry to join the Marines. Stationed at Camp Henderson in California, his country bumpkin ways repeatedly get him into hot water with his hilariously short-fused superior, Sergeant Vince Carter (Frank Sutton), as he foils every attempt by Carter to keep him in line. But as much as Carter wants to dislike Pyle, they can help to develop a special kinship. Honest to a fault, Pyle's misadventures and naïve determination confounds yet endears him to his most savvy platoon mates. Loaded with laughs, this wildly popular, highly rated complete first season will command your attention for hours.
