This episode is the last time Gomer Pyle was funny. Dumb, childlike, Jethro-like enthusiasm and lack-of-understanding. On TAGS this was a funny character. On his own show, he became whiney, annoying, and plainly dull. Gomer was a support character, not a lead. Even Carter, Slater, Boyle, Hacker and the rest couldn't help. And the plots became more and more ridiculous as the show went on. MeTV just replaced it with The Beverley Hillbillies and I couldn't be happier.
Don't bother reading this part. It is only here to fulfill the ridiculous 600 word requirement recently imposed on all reviews. If they want a full-scale book for every review, they'll soon regret it. A travesty indeed, but IMDb owns this sandbox. If you own the toys, you get to make the rules. This paragraph is a shining example of what one will go through to leave a concise, meaningful post. If you have not read this, congratulations; you have shown good sense. If you have read this, you might want to re-evaluate your priorities. Thank you and bye-bye... and buy bonds.
