Road Runner Posted September 16, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2021 Even though it was a spin-off of one of the greatest shows ever, it truly sucked. 300 episodes or so of the same shtick. Make fun of a backwoods, uneducated schmo for 25 minutes and then end the show with his naivete somehow saving the day for everyone involved. A totally unbelievable premise repeated over and over and over again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted September 16, 2021 Gomer had the same sargeant from boot camp through his entire military career. And he never went anywhere. The Vietnam War was going hot and heavy in those days, but Gomer stayed at a military base somewhere in the US and remained completely out of the fray. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was the coast guard, they would have caught on and just listened to him after the first several times that he was right or saved the day. Sgt. Carter has an anger disorder. Mr. Ed would have been a better sergeant, plus sergeant is a very weird word. Weird is a weird word, too. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think I’d know how to spell my own freaking rank… In the 1980’s Army, sergeant was often pronounced sar’ nt but you have to swallow the nt part. The g is completely gone from the pronunciation. I always thought that weird… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Beanz Posted September 16, 2021 Share #24 Posted September 16, 2021 I loved the Honeymooner so watching anything after that was almost always the same situation, same story, same result. So watching Gomer was entertaining as a child seeing I was 6 in 1969. So the old stuff is fun to watch seeing all the new series, movies, what have you are all the same story with new people. I don't even watch tv much at all because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could half-way watch the same story week after week, but Gomer and that other loser, Hogan's Heroes, each air twice nightly on the MeTV channel. Ten of the same stories in one week is much more irritating that seeing it just once a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goober Pyle's Station That is because King of Queens did nothing but copy the Honeymooners! I have to say that is a funny show. I have watched every episode over and over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
