My favorite all time show!!! Grew up watching it with my Uncle George who retired from the Navy. We would laugh, and laugh and, laugh...Best times of my life!!! Miss you Uncle❤🙏🤣
Thank you for putting this together - Great memories of Gomer Pyle USMC. I even had one of the Gomer Pyle metal lunch boxes back in the mid 60's. TV at its' best!!!
I loved these people, and felt like they were a part of our lives cause we liked the show so much! I miss this time in my life! R.I.P. to all these fine actors and actresses that intertained us for a good family show!
That was a great show. I was only a year old when it started in 1964. (I think that is when it started). Sad that most of them are gone. I enjoy watching reruns of it today. Thanks 👍.
These kind souls warmed our hearts and made us smile,laugh and even shed a tear. How wonderful that God blessed us with them in the time they were here. Their pictures and their passing should also remind us of own mortality as well. Please give thanks to God for every heartbeat and every breath that you are given as each one is a special gift from Him. Please also reconcile with God what He has written on your heart as you will stand before Him someday. God bless everyone and thank you for posting this excellent video!

One of my favorites shows. Forrest Compton [Lieutenant Gray] (3:20) in my opinion played one of the most endearing male characters of all time. A real man (who we need more of today)-unwavering authority balanced perfectly with pure prudence and compassion!
He played the role of district attorney Michael Karr on The Edge of Night. He also appeared in several episodes of The FBI as a Special Agent in Charge or a Senior Resident Agent. He was also a World War II veteran, he served with the United States Army in the European campaign.
Would like to meet him...Not to many left alive from that funny wonderful show.That show and the actors help me through some rough times i had in my life 10 yrs ago.Thank you to all cast and thank you for putting this video together and the research
Helluva good singer I loved his deep voice it was amazing. I loved the song On the banks of the Wabash he sang this song at the beginning of the Indianapolis 500 race. I loved watching Gomer Pyle. It is on every Tuesday morning where I live and I watch it every week
To all those who want to buy the seasons on DVD, be forewarned. The DVD's have been edited. CBS has removed sensitive subject matter, and changed the music, or taken out some music due to copyright issues. Meaning they were too cheap to pay royalties to those responsible for entertaining you!
Sorry that most of the characters are gone. The show is still in re-runs and is very funny. I love the old shows of the 1960's. They bring back fond memories of a time that more simple and and easy to live in.
Tommy Leonetti Cpl Nick Cuccinelli and Roy Stuart Cpl Boyle and Elizabeth MacRae Lou Ann Poovie And the rest of the cast were all wonderful actors And actresses . By the way Mark Slade played Private Eddie Peters On season one only of GOMER PYLE USMC . It is strange that actress Suzanne Benoit played both Jane Harper the daughter of Colonel Harper (Karl Swenson) and Jane Gray The daughter of Colonel Edward Gray (Forrest Compton). Also Bunny (Barbara Stuart) Had 3 different last names: Harper Olsen and Wilson Also right before Roy Stuart Played Cpl Boyle Richard Sinatra played Cpl Boyle on One episode only called Supply Sergeants Never Die . Richard Sinatra was the nephew of Frank Sinatra. Buck Young played Sgt Whipple on GP on seasons one and season two. When Barbara Stuart played Hannah Troy AKA The DRAGON LADY FROM SEASON ONE DID SHE REALLY FLiP Sgt Carter and Duke Slater with judo?! I always thought that actress Jeanne Burnier Who played DIXIE in the Season one episode Double DATE with the Sarge was a Funny character and talented actress Does anyone know the names of the actresses who played the wives of Colonel Harper Karl Swenson and Colonel Gray? Sheldon Leonard Appeared In the Episode where Sgt Carter Frank Sutton messed up his line Okay let's hear it For Hinshaw in the marine Movie . Sheldon Leonard Appeared in the Hawaii Episode of Sanford and Son As a smuggler.
What a great show this was. Nothing like it on TV today but its own show, now on ME-TV... I watch it every night. Crazy, almost all the actors from the show have passed on. Only Elizabeth MacRae (Lou-Ann Poovie) and Ronnie Schell (Duke Slater) are still with us. Very old but, still with us. I remember, I was 18 years old in 1974, Living in Daytona Beach, when I read the paper that "Frank Sutton had died! I was shocked! He was still a young man.. how could he die? Guess he had a bad Heart. Maybe all that yelling at Gomer for 5 years took a toll on him!
Larry Hovis was on the show for one season. He was private Larry Gottschalk, Alan Melvin was Staff Sergeant Charlie Hacker, the first photo posted was him playing Corporal Henshaw on Sergeant Bilko. Ted Bessell who played Private Lomardi later was Ann Marie's boyfriend Donald on That Girl. Forrest Compton who was Colonel Gray also appeared on The FBI as a Special Agent in Charge and as district attorney Michael Karr on The Edge of Night. Thomas Leonetti who was of Italian ancestry played Private Nicolas Cucinelli another Italian.
Watch gomer pyle every night love homer and sgt carter sure miss the days and ronnie schell played on an episode of sanford & soncalled the committee man as morris wilkins super funny😂
I remember one night I was around 10 years old and the program started at 7pm. It was 7:15 and I was missing it!! I found an open (unlocked) window in the living room and crawled through so I wouldn't miss the show! Yes it was our house.
Awesome presentation. The only inaccuracy was the photo of Andy Griffith, which was taken about a decade later than 1964, as The Andy Griffith Show was being filmed and Andy appeared clearly younger*
William Christepher went on to potray Father Mulcahey on MASH. And he was on two episodes of The Andy Griffith show, The New Doctor In Town, and Aunt Bea on TV. Actor Ted Bissell went on to potray Don Hollinger, boyfriend of Ann Marie in the tv show, That Girl. Also, the actor who potrayed Fast Freddy on this show I think is the same actor who was on MASH to when they were traveling throughout South Korea entertaining the troops during the Korean war. I truly believe that actress Elizabeath McRay also was in an episode of MASH when a baby was left off at the Swamp and the 4077 tried to go to the Red Cross to help the little baby to go to the United States whare she would live a much better life. Elizabath McRay potrayed the Red Cross worker in that episode. Could be wrong, yet I think for sure that that truly was her on MASH.
@@TheFishdoctor1952 Hovis moved to California in 1963, where he performed comedy and tried to break into television. In 1964, he was discovered by Andy Griffith's manager and was hired to appear on the TV series , where he played "Pvt. Larry Gotschalk". He also appeared on
Right before the Dragon Lady Hannah Troy (Barbara Stuart AKA Bunny) flipped Sgt Carter Frank Sutton what was the name of that Instrumental song which is Heard in the background? That same instrumental song is heard on the GOMER And the Beast episode of GP with Michael Conrad as Sergeant Benchley and that Song is heard on The Return Of The Fun Girls when Skippy and Daphne arrive at Andy Taylor's house at the end of the episode after Thelma Lou and Helen Crump storm out of Andys House .
OK.. Here's an 8th grade math problem for you: Tommy was 28 years old in 1964 when he had is picture taken. He died exactly 15 years later, in 1979. How old was Tommy at the time of his death? (Hint, it's not 50.)
Kind of was in love with Sgt Carter. He was just perfectly authoritative. Didn't like Gomer Pyle. Too insubordinate. Like that time he was supposed to be in formation but he was inside the barracks, sitting on the floor, babying a skunk. That made me not like that show. Lol. Had me thinking... conspiracy. Haha

Luv the show an cast still watch it 5 nights a week 👍

Love Ronnie Schell, met him in Mt Airy, NC. He is a facebook friend. looks better today then he did on TV.
Would like to meet him...Not to many left alive from that funny wonderful show.That show and the actors help me through some rough times i had in my life 10 yrs ago.Thank you to all cast and thank you for putting this video together and the research
He was a good actor. Glad to know he's still going strong.
@@watchman1178 Duke Slater & Ms. Poovie still around. Right, guy that played Slater managing very well👍
go back to grade 4...check Cuccinelli's age
He was twice shown.
Gomer was my favorite show of all time. My jaw dropped the 1st time I heard him sing.
Helluva good singer I loved his deep voice it was amazing. I loved the song On the banks of the Wabash he sang this song at the beginning of the Indianapolis 500 race. I loved watching Gomer Pyle. It is on every Tuesday morning where I live and I watch it every week
I'm only 15 and most of the time I don't really like older shows but Gomer Pyle USMC and The Andy Griffith Show are exceptions
Frank Sutton was my favorite,next Gomer! 😁
I hope Sutton won an Emmy for that role! He was great and authentic!
Frank Sutton and Forrest Compton were United States Army veterans.

I met Ronnie a few years ago at portsmouth Ohio really nice man.
1:29 Usually we hear of Allan Melvin's character as Sgt. Hacker.
Yeah, Sargent Charlie, lolololololol
The pic of him here is from Sgt Bilko
Yes and Sam the butcher on the Brady bunch.

I remember Allen Melvin as Sam the butcher from the Brady Bunch.
Yeah, and I think he also was a Spock worker on Archie Bunker's Place to. Seen him on The Andy Griffith show to.
0:26 I did find Tommy Leonetti, 1929-1979, in Wikipedia. How do you arrive at age 28 in 1964? He would have been 35 then.
Anyone can go in Wikipedia and make changes. Doesn’t necessarily mean that wiki is correct.
@@CountryLivingOnTheFarm there are also 15 years between 1964 and 1979, yet there are 22 years between ages 28 and 50.

the reason we dont have any more good movies all the actors are all gone so sad
Most of the actors were in other hit shows later.

How did you go from 'Gomer' to " Homer " that quickly ????

Background music better than most !
old age changes us all
28 + 15 = 43
Not my era but still love this show. I wonder why?
These always break my heart.
Beautiful people. Sad we all end up dying.
Sgt Carter was my favorite
This was very nice! Wonder why some of them died so young?
Gowlly! It wasn't my finger either 😂
Only 2 still living
That's right
Ronnie Schell and
Elizabeth MacRae
RIP Ronnie Schell
Almost all gone now. Memory eternal.
I loved Gomer on TAGS, but just couldn't make friends with this show.
William Christepher went on to potray Father Mulcahey on MASH. And he was on two episodes of The Andy Griffith show, The New Doctor In Town, and Aunt Bea on TV.
Actor Ted Bissell went on to potray Don Hollinger, boyfriend of Ann Marie in the tv show, That Girl.

I didn't know he was still around out-of-work actors
Like how he snuck in the Cary Grant photo...
It's life and interesting...but sad
William Christopher was also on MASH.
Whoever does these needs to do more research. The pic of Larry Hovis was from Hogan’s Heroes. Sgt. Charlie Hacker. As previously stated.

Tommy Leonetti 28yo in 1964 and 50yo in 1979? Basic math says he would've been 43 in 1979.

fans called that name to sgt slaughter in wwf in 1981
0:22 I suck at math but I can’t see how someone is 28 years old in 1964, that person could be 50 in 1979. How does one age 22 years in 15 years?

I like that background music . What is the name of that tune , who is performing it ? Does anybody know ?
It's called "Sunshine in the Sand" by Unicorn Heads
@@kevinpowers9024 Thank you.
Every one died wow
You have your shows mixed up. Hogans Heroes with Gomer Pyle USMC
