Friendly Freddy, the Gentleman's Tailor - S4-E30
Other mistake: Gomer and Sargent Carter buy alike suits. They are together in the suits. Gomer doesn't start sneezing until he gets to Lou Ann's apartment and Sargent Carter doesn't start sneezing until Gomer mentioned the suits will make him sneeze. (00:10:33 - 00:18:36)
Answer: If you saw the whole series run, you know that Gomer was a country bumpkin. He fumbled, stumbled and tumbled his way into one disaster after another. There was an episode that questioned why he was never promoted. However, a few years before Jim Nabors died, the real Marine Corps, gave him a ceremonial promotion to the rank of Lance Corporal, which Jim gladly accepted.
Unfortunately, I never saw all the episodes. Only a few episodes and a clip of the episode where he sings "The Impossible Dream" which made me wonder why he was still a PFC. Thanks so much for the info.
