I would think it was Goober, but his last name was also Pyle, and #15 above precludes that. ---

I’m stuck. I only know of Gomer and Goober Pyle fitting the criteria. I’m not sure if @Prof.Pepperwinkle previously asked this question: **Are you Goober Pyle**? If not, I relinquish my remaining DQs. ---

> [@knoodler](#): > > **Are you Goober Pyle**? Yes! I am Gomer Pyle’s cousin, **G** oober Pyle, played by George Lindsey on _The Andy Griffith Show_ and _Mayberry RFD_, as well as the special _Return to Mayberry_ and one episode of _Gomer Pyle USMC_. Time for a new thread, knoodler! > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > I would think it was Goober, but his last name was also Pyle, and #15 above precludes that. Was that a typo, Prof – “#15” instead of my incorrect answer to #19? ---

I’ve certainly heard of Gomer Pyle and the list of shows Goober was in, but I don’t think I’ve ever watched any of them, so I’m a little more ambiguous on whether I’ve heard of Goober Pyle. Probably, but there’s room for some doubt. ---

I would not have thought of Goober if Prof hadn’t mentioned them. ---
