Gumby - WPWR Channel 60 (Complete Broadcast, 1984) 📺

[@tripdefect87]

I remember renting Gumby vhs tapes constantly and obsessed isn't the right word for what I felt. The show led me towards a life of absolute infatuation with stop motion animation

[@ken_danerdiest1]

I use to watch Gumby on channel 60 every single day. Thanks so much!

[@microvrml]

channel 60 was the best when it came to cartoons. Think Spectre Man used to come on this channel also

[@thatshot8]

Gumby was my guy growing up... 🌵 💚

[@richardgazinia5482]

Although I did not grow up in Chicago (I grew up near Philadelphia) and I was in college by December of 1984, Gumby was packaged with other cartoons for broadcast basically the same. In Philadelphia, Gumby was shown on the Captain Noah Show and any kid that grew up in the Philadelphia area in the 1970s would recognize the Gumby theme and interstitial songs in this video. Great to see Art Clokey introduce Gumby and his pal Pokey. Thanks for upload.

WKBD TV50 in Detroit played Gumby during this time.

I remember Gumby and poke I loved watching it when I was little great show

[@Musicradio77Network]

I used to watched this since I was a kid. This claymation was created by the same guy who later did “Davey & Goliath” which was Art Clokey.

But Davey, Mr. Preacher isn't gonna like it if you slam all that dope, Davey, save some for your mom...

Do You Used To Watch The Funny Company?

[@jesusnodal8948]

Thank you so much for this!!!

[@stevensolway1054]

Art Clokey the creator of Gumby, was once on a TV game show in the early 1990s, somewhat like the Original "What's my Line?" BUT none of the celebrities could ever guess who he was! Then he gave them and the audience the toy figures of Gumby.

[@PGTransformed]

To Tell The Truth, 1990 to 1991, NBC daytime version you must be referring to.

[@chonqmonk]

I hadn't seen Gumby since about 1975.

[@WallyTony]

I loved Gumby so much as a kid

[@kascnef]

Before reboot there was Gumby

[@zltoonslc2000rj]

Did “Car-Tunes” feature “The King Kong Show”, “Clutch Cargo”, “Laurel and Hardy”, “The Atom Ant-Secret Squirrel Show” and others?? Dang, what an hour THAT must’ve been!! 🙂

[@luvs2cover]

This is so awesome I love it 🥰

[@hertribe1978]

My earliest childhood memories are Gumby,

[@Musicradio77Network]

There is one show that WPWR-TV ran was the very first short called “Gumbasia” from 1953 by Art Clokey, and it was a 3-minute experimental short which would later become Gumby. “Gumbasia” has full of clay techniques and movements to go with it combining with jazz music together.

Prickle's lack of inflection is hilarious.

[@Launchpad05]

23:17: That's music you'd hear in Hanna-Barbera cartoons from the 60's.

[@sherryhannah9262]

I hope y’all will reply to this remember when Eddie Murphy was on Saturday Night Live and played Gumby????.:he would say I’m Gumby dammit!!!!!!

[@ChrisConnolly-Mr.C-Dives-In]

One of the really good SNL bits.

[@bradjames891]

Amazing!

[@SoenyCentral]

This is awesome

[@myworldproductions]

When watching Gumbi in the late 80's during the day, I remember some crime drama police show played right afterwards. Would be nice to know the title of it.

[@robloxfan23_]

4 years before the new Gumby series came on TV.

[@NEPatriot]

Gumby for me was on channel 9 WWOR-TV in the late 80's with the Gumby Adventures show which had new adventures plus classics mixed in as well as a new take on the Gumby theme song. This was at the time channel 5 began to cut their kids shows and cartoons. I myself have not heard of The Funny Company but at the end of that opening title, when the chief opens his mouth I swear hearing the "Tacky Buzzer" from The Hollywood Squares whenever time ran out on the syndicated version.

[@Musicradio77Network]

The 1988 “Gumby Adventures” had the original Gumby shorts which were re-dubbed along with the newer episodes. These Gumby shorts were shown here were way better than the 1988 re-dubs which were later used in “Gumby Adventures”. I should give these hands down.

[@THEMOECOOPERSHOWTM]

YAY GUMBY!

[@terryleemangrumii8566]

10:50 Funny Company's Violette might be a superhero! Even though she doesn't know it, yet!

[@prycerobertson4695]

"Sneaky" Pete Kleinow wrote the Gumby theme.

[@FuzzyMemoriesTV]

And performed by The Shaggs? 😄

[@prycerobertson4695]

@@FuzzyMemoriesTV 😆No, it was performed by a young Ann Clokey (Art's daughter) and friends.

[@Musicradio77Network]

The musical score for all of the “Gumby” shorts were done by Mike Seeley who also did the music for the Capitol Hi-Q Music Library series. He also did the music for “Dennis The Menace” TV show and a few WB cartoons as well.

[@prycerobertson4695]

@@Musicradio77Network Actually John Seely. He and William Loose had their own stable of composers including not just themselves but also Harry Bluestone and Emil Cadkin, both of whom already had their own library for Capitol.

LSD never looked so good...

[@brianhebert6152]

I'm glad Art Clokey took Eddie Murphy's parody of his creation in good humor, given how he used the newfound burst in popularity as an excuse to make new content.

Gumby used a lot of LIONEL(TM) MODEL TRAINS 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃, the most popular was the large 027 track, 2-6-4 that charged like a bull, and Gumby grabbed a cape from the Toreadors poster to fight this giant engine, although he got knocked down, and the little H.O. Scale 0-4-0 with coal tender by Mantua chugged in and made friends when Gumby shrank down to ride on top of the cab, and the little toy wooden yellow engine whistled at the end. Hi in July 2023A.D.!!
