6. There Was One Successful Spin-Off Show
There were two spinoffs, but one stuck. Fans loved the character Gomer Pyle, played by Jim Nabors. The studio heard them, repaying their adoration with a spin-off show dedicated to the character called “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.” It was a story about Pyle joining the marines. It did okay, running for five seasons before they pulled it.
