Larry Hovis on Gomer Pyle USMC

[4freespeech]

My God, I had forgot just how RETARDED poor Gomer could be.

He was a PIONEER of "Don't ask don't tell".

[Wellch]

William Christopher was also in Gomer Pyle too.

[jayhop1]

no half hour show ever directed -written-casted -produced---and shot with cameras---was better--jay from tennessee believes this---we must get something started---

[BigSmoke2222]

" He told me he wouldnt believe me, I said I'd prove it, and he'd say i was wrong, So we did and I was... Wrong I mean" xDD gomer pyle rules

[1963TNT]

gomer needs more drilling???

[CorporalLouisLeBeau]

Sgt. carter, the dont like him...then he plays a sgt. carter.....i love larry

[terentii]

So ... who was the chick???

Ted Bessel, who played Don Hollinger in "That Girl," was also a member of Gomer's platoon for a while.

Did I see Spearchucker, from the first season of M*A*S*H, in the barracks sequence too???

[ekocentric]

I was sort of like Gomer when I was in basic training but the goofier that a recruit gets, the worse it becomes for EVERYONE.

....trust me, a G.I. Party sucks.

P.S. A g.i. party consists of a few fellow enlistees holding the blanket down on your head ( to insure their identity.) Your other buddies commence to open a can of whip ass on you slinging a large bar of soap in a sock across your body.

Tragedy= instant military intelligence! lol.

[DiAnno13]

'Operation Foul-Up didn't work.'

Naturally.

[WETNWILD85]

Gomer is so cute. I love well mannered country men.

[kingsman565]

[WETNWILD85]

[kingsman565]

[WETNWILD85]

YES I WOULD.

[WaveOBabys]

[CiaoCucin]

G.W. Bailey owes a considerable amount to Frank Sutton.

[woverby1963]

its an anal thing but I was in the Corps and youd never call a gunnery sergeant just plain sergeant

[loveisok]

what about the part when stg carter loses his voice(he was singing solo with a choir)he had a squeaky voice. what episode was this?

[bartman1775]

the sgt is really a gunny wtf

[Wellch]

What would a real DI do?

[TOBYMACfan]

Oh wow! That is so awesome. I didn't know that. Thank you.

[TOBYMACfan]

What season was this from? I LOVE Carter from Hogan's Heroes (Larry Hovis). I didn't know he was on this show. Sweet! ♥

[liarsclub75]

First season. Larry was in 10 episodes. He also wrote Frank Sutton's Vietnam act.

[primeralives]

What Vietnam act are you taking about?? Sounds interesting.

[liarsclub75]

Sutton went to entertain the troops and Larry wrote the material for it.

[SuperTennis3]

@liarsclub75 lol, interesting, ever notice Carter from Hogans Heroes has the same number of stripes as Carter in Gomer Pyle?

[B0thergirl]

I was honored to meet Mr. Hovis when my Friend married his son about 8 years ago. He sat with my husband and I during the reception. It was just we 3 at the table. He had a lot of stories. May he rest in peace.
