» » Gomer Pyle: USMC Gomer Pyle, P.O.W. (1964–1969)

Short summary

Gomer and his platoon engage in "war games" against a rival unit and Pvt. Pyle ends up captured and a prisoner of war. How he copes with his pow status and manages to escape are worth seeing. One of season 2's funniest episodes.

This episode featured Jamie Farr, better known for playing Corporal Klinger on MASH. In an inadvertent tribute, the episode ends with Gomer in a dress (having escaped the "enemy") looking much like Farr's Klinger character would look years later.
