Default There were TWO closing titles....

...and, like the one on "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW", the first was seen only on CBS {Sgt. Carter yelling at Gomer while trying to march in formation with the rest of his platoon}, usually featuring a General Foods logo in the lower left-hand corner of the screen [they sponsored the series during its entire run]. The second featured a backdrop of the barracks, with an extended version of the closing theme. That version was used in CBS daytime and syndicated editions of the series.

As for Carter calling Gomer "boy" a lot, that was during the first season, when Sgt. Carter was getting to know Pyle a lot better [inbetween yelling at him, that is]. When he did, he started yelling his last name {"PYLE!!!!!!"}.
