I simply couldn't resist viewing the first Color episode that opens Season 2. For Classic TV trivia buffs, this is the point in which U.S.M.C. Private Gomer Pyle becomes Private First Class Gomer Pyle, but not without some hilariously funny effort!
Having checked the running times of the first six episodes that comprise the first Season 2 DVD, the fifth episode (Episode 35 of the series) has an approximate running time of 23:16, and thus is definitely edited. All other shows on this disc clock in at over 25 minutes.
Furthermore, the Jim Nabors episode introductions that are such a welcome staple on the Season 1 episodes, are completely AWOL on the Season 2 disc, as I suspect they will be for the remaining seasons. On a positive note, a Play All feature is included.
On the opening Season 2 "P.F.C, Gomer Pyle" episode, I was delightfully surprised to see Jack Larson (Best remembered as Jimmy Olsen on ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) make a substantial appearance:
CHEERS!
