RIP Jim Nabors (1930-2017) ~ Actor and singer who was most famous for playing the simple but sweet Gomer Pyle on television. Nabors made a cameo appearance as Pyle on a 1966 episode of “The Lucy Show"  “Lucy Gets Caught Up In The Draft” (TLS S5;E9) and that one minute cross-over appearance set the whole Lucy-verse spinning! Consider: "Gomer Pyle USMC” was a spin off of “The Andy Griffith Show.” “The Andy Griffith Show” was a spin off of “The Danny Thomas Show/Make Room For Daddy.” “The Danny Thomas Show” also did a crossover with “I Love Lucy/The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.” The upshot of all of this is that Lucy Ricardo and Lucy Carmichael both exist in the same world! That’s just weird.
