Gumby


For those of us of a certain age this will bring back memories.. Gumby

As he celebrates his 50th anniversary, green, clay-animated pop culture icon Gumby is all over the web today. Classic episodes of The Gumby Show, including the pilot "Gumby on the Moon," are now available on Google and AOL/In2TV. In addition, the flexible one has his own dedicated Gumby area on YouTube at the DMGI channel (www.youtube.com/dmgivideo).

The original TV episodes from the ’50s and ’60s have been digitally remastered by Joe Clokey, son of Gumby creator Art Clokey. The ’50s episodes have also been restored to their original eleven-minute format, having been previously re-edited to create two six-minute shorts. All 223 installments, complete with restored soundtracks, will roll out over the digital channels during the next few months.


Gumby's 1st Episode: Gumby has found himself in an interesting predicament: he's stranded on the Moon, and being chased by odd triangle creatures. Who will come to his rescue?
