I guess I would enjoy these, they way y'all talk about them.

But, I would require y'all to watch a handful of Andy Griffith episodes in return. It, too, is one the best TV shows ever. You could start with the Malcolm Merriweather episodes 1 2 3 to kinda ease you into the series.

Come on Jeff.

Gomer Pyle USMC next?

I have a particular interest in this wonderful series because Clive Dunn OBE was actually in my old regiment the IVth Queen's Own Hussars when he was taken prisoner in Greece.

(and not-a-lotta-people-know-that)

What??? No Sgt. Bilko????

von Poop · 20-05-2008, 09:55 AM

Now you're talking.
Bilko's another one I can watch over and over again... except, obviously, for that awful Steve Martin film version.

Gotthard Heinrici · 20-05-2008, 10:03 AM

That Steve Martin fil was a mockery of a sham if ever I saw one!!

I wisely avoided that load of crapola. Steve Martin produced an album around 1980 called Comedy is not Pretty. He should have called it Steve Martin is not Funny. The second title would have been far more accurate.
