Gumby lives on

Evil Chris · 10-23-2005

All the Gumby cartoons were made in the late 60s, and I remember watching them when I was from 4 to 6 years old.

Anyway I noticed them being played occasionally on a pay channel on my grid so I DVR'd some of them. It's amazing how interested my son is in them, considering he's also exposed to the most tech advanced cartoons and kid shows as well. He loves Gumby, Pokey, and Nopey.

Gumby was the best.
Actually Chris he was born in 1955. He was originally a segment on the Howdy Doody show.

Damn I feel really old knowing that.

oh ok that makes sense. I was just going by the date shown on most of the ones I've seen lately (1967).

Another thing... yesterday on ebay I ran across an auction for a complete Billy Blastoff set of toys. The same stuff I played with when I was 5. Of course it's all collector's items now, and quite expensive for anything in mint or near mint condition.

This got me down memory lane ...

Who remembers that Davy and Goliath?

Here's one for Gumby and his very good friend. (Not for the kids!!)

I remember Davy and Goliath.

How about Beanie and Cecil? I loved them.

PornoDoggy · 10-23-2005

I'm cummmmmmmmmmmmming, Beanie Boy!!!!!!

Evil Chris · 10-23-2005

I remember the Davey and Goliath kinda claymation thing.

Wasn't there a lot of religious undertones to that one?

PornoDoggy · 10-23-2005

I don't remember Davy & Goliath ... but my "cartoon" years were from ... uh ... my cartoon years ended ... errrr ... shortly before the time Chris started watching 'em.

MorganGrayson · 10-23-2005

Ah...memories.
I remember Gumby and Pokey.
I remember Davey and Goliath.
I remember Beanie and Cecil.

Davey and Goliath had a strong "moral" plotline. It never struck me as religious when I was young, more of a "right and wrong" kind of thing.

Dravyk · 10-23-2005

Yeah Davy and Goliath was sponsored by or created by some "group". Methodists or someone. But as Morgan said, it was ethics undertoned not religious in nature.

Funny thing (ok, three people in this thread may not think it funny), I never saw Beanie and Cecil. Seems that's the dividing line between the three shows mentioned that shows people are even older than me.

Trev, that's how "we" feel when you Brits talk about some shows and comedians ... It's like "WTF"?

I understand that, but these shows are 40 - 50 years old... if they were brit shows then you 'mericans would have had them in your face by at least 20 - 25 years.

LOL! True.

You never know though. We ended up getting "Chef!" here on PBS, but I've heard Lenny Henry has had at least three more programmes (notice the spelling) since then.

We're not that much older than you Drav.
I remember a lot of local kids shows in NY and then in Philly. Most memorable were Soupy Sales and Wonderama in NY, Gene London and Pixanne in Philly.

Chef was Lenny at his best, his other shows were all weak.

Gumby lived in Enumclaw ??

BTW I remember them all, but my fondest childhood program memory was
being able to go down to see a couple of live Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
tapings, since that was taped out of the PBS studios in Pittsburgh...

Evil Chris · 10-23-2005

Cool reading... I'm trying to remember what other shows I watched as a kid.

Of course Sesame Street. I think it had just started as a new show.
I watched Commander Tom and Rocketship 7. Featured "Promo the robot"

It was out of Buffalo New York.
But my favourite was The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.

Sabby · 10-23-2005

I think I was a deprived child. I have never seen this Gumby show.

I loved Sesame Street and Mr. Dressup.

Sabby

PornoDoggy · 10-24-2005

Sesame Street used to have these odd little Martians/aliens that I thought were funny as hell when I was stoned.

I can remember watching the Mickey Mouse club on television. I can remember watching both the Flintstones and the Jetsons as prime-time shows. I was never that much into cartoons; on Saturdays I watched as many old half-hour show repeats like Roy Rogers, My Friend Flicka, Sky King, and Rin-Tin-Tin as I did animated stuff.

Stacey_JoinRightNow · 10-24-2005

Gumby

Gumby is a green clay humanoid figure who was the subject of a series of television shows totaling 223 episodes over a three-and-a-half decade period, animated using stop motion photography, known as claymation. The shows also featured Pokey, an orange clay horse, and Gumby's nemeses, the Block-heads.

I sometimes watched this bec. my siblings like more to watch Sesame Street...

PornoDoggy · 10-24-2005

I didn't become a big fan of Gumby until I was in my 20s ...

I know! That's why I said that other show is a dividing line.

Yep! I remember all of them too!

And let's not forget: Sally Starr, Captain Noah and the Wee Willie Weber Show. (Not to mention Saturday nights with Doctor Shock!)

It's Gumby, Damnit!

PornoDoggy · 10-24-2005

Soupy Sales was my hero ... I always wanted Black Fang to get ahold of that wimpy Lambchops.

I had a crush on Shari Lewis, though ...

In St. Louis it was Corky the Clown (a local weatherman and the father of a friend of mine) playing LooneyTunes, Cookie and the Captain (playing Popeye), and (my favorite) Captain 11 playing the Three Stooges.

I always liked the Hanna-Barbera stuff the best (Magilla Gorilla, Huckleberry Hound, Quick-Draw Magraw). My absolute favorite cartoon was Rocky & Bullwinkle, however.

That whiny voice talking to a sock?

The thought of her doing it in bed would be like an SNL skit.

I really didn't think of that when I was six ...

True. Those were different times.

MorganGrayson · 10-24-2005

I hate to tell you how old I was when my husband (that should give you a clue) hit me with "why did you think he was called 'Huckleberry Hound'??"

"Alliteration?" wasn't the right answer.

OK, OK, huckleberries are blue. I know that now.

Evil Chris · 10-24-2005

so are blueberries... but it just doesn't sound the same does it?

MorganGrayson · 10-24-2005

Chris...I actually rolled "Blueberry Hound" around in my head a few times, and no, it just wasn't the same.
