For all you youngins out there Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. was a very popular US sitcom in the mid to late 60s. A spinoff of The Andy Griffith Show (aka Andy of Mayberry) it was about a naive but helpful Marine and his Sergeant at a California marine base. Most episodes are posted on youtube in the entirety. Look up on youtube Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. (S3E12) - Follow That Car . I saw it when it first aired on CBS TV on Nov. 30, 1966. Gomer and Sgt. Carter are captured by smugglers. The smugglers take their uniforms and Gomer and Sgt. Carter are chairtied and tape gagged in their boxer shorts. It runs at 25:08, but the "good stuff" runs from 15:44 to 20:22 and features a comedic escape. Perhaps someone could edit and post that. At 21:28 they're handcuffed to each other, One of Pyle's catch word was "Shazam!" which was also Mary Marvel's magic word. Enjoy!
