Other supporting characters get a spotlight or two in season 4, including Howard Morris's Ernest T. By season's end, Gomer would depart for his own series (season 4's final episode, " Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.," would serve as the pilot for that program), but before then, he enjoyed some fine episodes, including " Andy Saves Gomer" from a fire at the filling station and " Citizen's Arrest" (a knockout showcase for Nabors and Don Knotts, who is topnotch, as always, as Barney Fife). Lindsey as Goober Pyle (cousin to Jim Nabors's Gomer) makes his debut in one of the season's funniest episodes, " The Fun Girls," which is also the only time Gomer and Goober appeared together on screen. Goober fans, rejoice-the arrival of George Lindsey's popular character is just one of the homespun joys of The Andy Griffith Show's fourth season.
