I love seeing these Gomer Pyle DVD's. I watched this show when I was little and now my daughters can enjoy them. I wish more shows like this were on TV today.

I remembered this show when i was kid. Now looking back it is actually better. I really enjoyed it and it is very funny. You can't go wrong with this price for all 5 seasons complete. The series is in demand, since it sold well and all the seasons were issued in short order unlike many of the other shows. Get it while all 5 are available together.

When I see a classic TV series so good that I can watch the episodes over and over, it merits a review. I've watched the entire series twice and am ready to go another round anytime. Jim Nabors' Gomer Pyle series fills many hours with great joy and laughs. Not only do I enjoy Jim Nabors and Frank Sutton, but a lot of favorite, classic stars have guest appearances throughout the series: Carol Burnett (2), "Andy Taylor, Aunt Bea, Opie Taylor," Ruta Lee, Don Rickles, Allan Melvin (who was not household name but in so many classic TV shows you will immediately recognize him), and more. The Carol Burnett episodes are hilarious. Any surprise? I have only two negative issues with the series: Lou Anne's southern accent was so over-exaggerated, it makes my Deep South eyes roll (but her clothes were awesome); and some of the plots in the later seasons remind me of plots from the Andy Griffith Show. Were they running out of material? Even so, these are minor, minor issues. I adore the series! If only we were all as honest and innocent as Gomer Pyle. For all of the trouble his un-relenting honesty, trust and innocence caused, it always worked out for the good. The quality of the picture is great. The first season is black and white. Seasons 2 - 5 are in color. In the first season, Jim Nabors recorded a short synopsis of each episode. The set includes one episode from the Jim Nabors Hour with Frank Sutton and Ronnie Schnell. If you like to escape from your troubles to classic TV, I recommend this series without hesitation.

I watched this show every afternoon after school. 45 years later and it is still as entertaining as it was back then. A lot of the episodes I have never seen or had forgot about them so really it's like watching all new shows. The videos are great quality as well as the audio. No problem at all giving 5 stars on this one. If you haven't bought this collection...GET IT NOW YOU KNUCKLEHEAD>>>MOVE IT MOVE IT MOVE IT!

Gomer Pyle was one of the better tv comedies. Far better than anything you can find in the modern tv wasteland.
Jim Nabors and Frank Sutton had a wonderful comedic chemistry that never failed to get a good laugh. Comedy teams of this sort
go way back, but only a few are as good or better than these two. Lucille Ball and Gale Gordon as Lucy and Mr. Mooney in The Lucy
Show come to mind as being their equals.
You won`t be disappointed with this dvd set. Five years worth of laughs as Gomer drives sgt. Carter off his rocker. You couldn`t
ask for much more.

I cant say enough good things about Gomer Pile, the entire family will enjoy this series, there should be more TV series like this one on television for everyone to enjoy, but they don't make-em like they used to , i enjoyed this series as a child, and i am enjoying it all over again now, i am just thrilled that they have it out on DVD, so that future generations, can discover it, and enjoy it as much as i do, in each episode Gomer Pile is teaching valuable lessons, like being kind to animals, and always telling the truth, and being kind to everyone, also it is filled with good clean humor, i laugh out loud in every episode, you will just have to get this series yourself to truly see how great it is, once you start watching you cant stop, my advice is that if you do not have this series , Buy it , you won't regret it!!!

It's amazing how well this old series stands the test of time. The duo of Jim Nabors as Pyle and Frank Sutton as the long suffering Sgt Carter are a great team. This type of acting is more theatrical than the glib style of more recent sitcoms and a welcome change. And the picture and sound quality are phenomenal!

We purchased this set as a birthday present for my dad, who loved the series when it was on TV. He absolutely loves it! The packaging is great, and the DVD quality is perfect. I definitely recommend this if you loved the series.

I received this package not long ago and have looked at quite a few of the DVDs. They are of fine quality. I really like the header page where you can pick the episode you want to view or pick "view all" and they will play consecutively. There hasn't been a skip or jump in any of them. I would definitely purchase similar DVDs again.

I can't get enough. I just started watching the DVD's and the quality is great. The shows are funny and entertaining and I am not a fan of black & white TV but I enjoy the Gomer Pyle USMC first season in B & W also. The shipping was prompt. Highly recommend this TV series complete set.
