Sound is barely audible.

This is one of the best television shows of the entire decade of the 1960's. Values...one on one talks with Father and Son. Andy Griffith played an important role in ensuring the wholesomeness of the show and that it taught lessons and not was simply comedic

In a later episode of Gomer Pyle USMC,Opie runs away to the base and wants to join the marines,then when Andy goes there to get him,he meets Carter but acts as if he'd never seem him before.

Andy tells a lot of lies on the show. This is one. He lied about the town cannon, he lied to Barney about the microphone being super sensitive, he helped Floyd further lie to Madelyn Grayson, saying he and Opie both were Floyd's sons, he lied here, to Sergeant Carter about Gomer being the son of General Lucious Pyle.

Now son, don’t believe them old fools what say mamma was a hussy

In The Andy Griffith Show, Opie Taylor’s mother is a character whose fate is subtly addressed. Although the show’s writers didn’t give her much direct attention, they revealed that she died in the backdoor pilot episode and hinted that she likely passed away during childbirth. The only episode within the series that directly addressed this question was “Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee,” which aired during Season 2. During a heart-to-heart chat between Andy Taylor and Opie, Andy mentioned that he and Opie’s mom were very much in love when they were together. However, Opie’s mother’s absence is explained in the backdoor pilot episode titled “Danny Meets Andy Griffith.” In this episode, Andy admits that his wife passed away when Opie was just a baby. The exact circumstances of her death are never explicitly stated, but fans speculate that she either died during childbirth or shortly after. Opie was too young to form memories of her, as the brief mentions of her make it clear that he doesn’t remember life with her12. So, Opie’s mother remains a poignant part of the show’s backstory, even though she is rarely mentioned during the series itself. If you’re curious, you can watch the backdoor pilot episode to learn more about the fate of Mrs. Taylor here. 🌼 th-cam.com/video/fkFDKu54ZfU/w-d-xo.html

Love has no limits.

What happens to his mom?

Frank and Andy worked great together in scene...imagine how it was behind the scenes.😊😂

So cool and so very poignant all at once. Ron Howard proved his acting chops from very early on in his standout Career!😭🎤🤱😇🎭📺🎥B.W.

Why did he call her 'mom' instead of 'ma', since he calls Andy "pa"?

❤

Good clean series

Andy had to play a trick on Sgt. carter to get him to help Gomer, or Gomer would be so heartbroken by being told to leave and never return to the Marine Corps again.

Wish these kind of shows were still on today.Instead of the garbage Hollywood puts on tv today.

❤

very sweet... thank you for posting

Just WhaT Are You Trying To Say Here 🙄

Love such a trick.

It is an honor to go through with no special favors, only honest, fair treatment.

Ooh it's Rudolph and Clarice what are you doing here you come to Christmas town what's your favorite that mine too she said I'm cute well I love clairce and I love you too Rudolph.

Brilliant acting. Andy Griffith was so amazing. His character was so low key and he was able to dupe others as masterfully as Bugs Bunny.

Later when Andy visited Gomer, he and the Sgt. acted as if they met for the first time.

Didn't Sgt. Carter have a lower rank in the series?

This is the way to spell Sergeant!!

What's that thing on his head? Is that an outside bar?

All dead

That Andy.

Sheriff Andy is so clever, this was childs play for him. XD

The background music being "Harlem Nocturne" really distracts me. I think of Mike Hammer and 1950s detective shows when I hear it. LOL

All I can say is,,,,,those were the days!

One tiny detail I noticed--maybe my own USMC experience has primed me to see it: the brim of Sergeant Carter's "Smokey Bear" campaign cover isn't perfectly flat and straight and would have likely failed his CO's inspection for its visible warps. Real Marine Corps drill instructors, at least during my summer as a USMC recruit, held themselves to higher standards than that. That said, the Gomer Pyle Show wasn't funny for its realism or lack thereof. It was funny and successful because of how Frank Sutton and Jim Nabors played their characters off each other. Nobody can deny that those two actors worked especially well together.

Great writing and acting

When they meet again two years later in "Opie Joins The Marines" Andy is very diffrent in his very short cameo. Very grumpy and not very vocal.

Hook,line,and sinker.Pyle and Carter made that show a success.

Andy sure knew how to mess with someone's head, lol!

Frank Sutton was killed by rogue cia agents after he leaked jfk assasination propaganda to the media. That wAs no heart attack

That is one unsat DI smoky.

Maybe this was the idea for Forrest Gump

What’s funnier is that the unelected fake catholic pres got 81 million votes

So funny when Carter says all shocked and confused "His daddy?" And Andy's face when Carter talks out loud to himself is genius acting. "Lips are sealed" Lol.

Just pure clean comedy back then, no vulgarities and such. Corny? Maybe, but rewatching these shows from back then I can still learn a thing or two about being a decent human being while still enjoying the show.

Jim sung at Frank funeral singing how great thou art

No leader wants his children to be treated differently.

Amazing clip and so funny! I read Frank Sutton was from Tennessee, served in the Army during WWII and graduated from Columbia University Cum Laude. Andy Griffith was from North Carolina and a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill. A couple of great Americans from the South and so successful too! Their abilities as performers along with Jim Nabors and others made these shows some of the best of all time! RIP to both.

I watched this as a kid but didn't really get it. I think now that "No Time For Sargeants" is from the recruit's point of view, but it might be that the Gomer Pyle show is really about Sargeant Carter, or at least from his point of view. Pyle's sincerity and innocence is just ruining everything for him, episode after episode.... Sutton is really excellent, he plays it so straight, and somehow his exasperation is hilarious.

Andy never said he was a sheriff when he was outside of Mayberry

I always thought that Andy Griffith did a great job in fooling Sargent Carter. Andy Griffith is the reason for Jim Nabors getting his own show. Frank Sutton was great as Sargent Carter.

This episode is awesome!!

My favorite episode of Andy Griffith
