Ted BessellGomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.: Season 2

The packaging on season two of the Gomer Pyle series was changed by CBS from a boxed set format of five discs in individual slim cases used for season one, to one regular size DVD case which can hold all five discs. This is much better as it allows for easier storage. As for the editing of the shows as mentioned in other reviews, I haven't seen anything yet that would constitute a harsh problem other than the songs Jim Nabors sang in some of the episodes being removed. Since the program is not a musical variety show, but rather a situation comedy, I see no real reason to get upset over this editing, unless you're a diehard fan of Jim Nabors' vocals and want a video performance of a particular tune. Otherwise, this is classic TV comedy from the 60s. REAL comedy before the sarcasm and ignorance of today's TV became the norm. Nabors and Frank Sutton should be ranked in history along side the likes of Abbott and Costello, Laural and Hardy, and Martin and Lewis as one of the greatest comedy duos of all time. Anyone who can't laugh at any one of these hilarious episodes has absolutely NO concept of humor whatsoever. Truly funny and forever classic, that's Gomer Pyle, USMC.

Wow, this is a great show and the first of the four seasons to be in color. These episodes are really good, and this season and Season 3 are probably my favorites, even though Season 1 is still really great, it brings out a lot when the show is in color. Season 2 aired from September 17, 1965 to April 16, 1966. This set contains 30 episodes on 5 discs. My favorites from here are P.F.C. Gomer Pyle, Home on the Range, Gomer Captures a Submarine, Gomer Minds His Sergeant's Car, Grandma Pyle Fortune Teller and A Star is Born, even though I like them all a lot. I got this set quickly, within a week of when I ordered them. When I opened them, all of the discs were there, of which I was very happy seeing as I ordered them from a private seller on Amazon. They all played very nicely and they didn't freeze or skip at all. This is an awesome show, and I would defenatly advise buying it.

I understand the disappointment some people have over the edits, but I personally hated it when Gomer sang. I watched this show to laugh--not to watch Gomer sing as someone else sits there with their head tilted admiring him. As long as you have Sgt. Carter in a scene, you can't go wrong. If you liked this show, there's some really great episodes. The episode with Grandma Pyle and Sgt. Carter's funny voice makes the entire set worthwhile. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because of the lack of extras.

totally love this show !! was worth the money

I love this DVD set (along with the first year)!! I loved Gomer and especially Sergeant Carter, the Sarge was a HOWL!! What I really like about these DVD's is the quality of them... they really enhanced them as I never realized that the actors wore eye makeup! It is plain as day in these DVD's that they did!! It is awesome video quality and I myself could care less if they cut out some songs (just my opinion, I know it means alot to others!), actually it was 30 years ago so I don't remember what songs were in the originals anyhow!

Poor Gomer. All that screeming from the Sarge. Gomers always a gentleman. Respectful to the ladies. The world is sure going downhill since they produced shows like these. We love watching these oldies.

I loved all four seasons of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. The last 3 seasons are in color. They were very touching, moving, to remember how gentle those shows were in comparison to today's programming. I also noticed that two of the actors who became Corporal Klinger and Father Mulhaney in MASH were on Gomer Pyle first. It is clear that Gome Pyle influenced a future MASH in two episodes. I loved all four seasons and wished there were more.

Enjoying this, the second season of Gomer Pyle. The first thing we noticed was that it was in color (we're quick that way). Also, Gomer is now deemed competent enough that Sgt. Carter lets him fire a bazooka. The episodes are still funny and the characters are even more likable.

absolutely loved it
