The character of Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors, left) originated on "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960-68). Gomer left Mayberry to serve in the Marines under the irrepressible Sergeant Vince Carter (Frank Sutton). The two series were among the most-watched of their day, with "Gomer" regularly beating his old buddy "Andy" in the Nielsen Ratings. Recently, the TV Land network added both shows to their lineup, bringing the long-time favorites together again twice nightly.
