- Here's another complete broadcast of stop-motion Gumby "claymation" cartoons as aired over Aurora's "Power Station," WPWR Channel 60.
This airing was in the final years of the program with its original soundtrack still intact (including selections from the legendary "Hi-Q" music library) before it was revamped later in the 1980's and replaced with generic synthesizer music. This particular broadcast was also long after Eddie Murphy first "impersonated" the green lead character famously on Saturday Night Live.

1984 was a great year for WPWR channel 60, hands down.
Didn’t they carry Voltron and Robotech? And then changed to Channel 50?
YES!@@chrisw6164
@@chrisw6164 Voltron and Robotech carried by channel 60 and made the switch to channel 50 in January 1987, because channel 60 made way for the Home Shopping Club.
I watched Gumby alot when i was a kid miss that guy
I miss this channel so much!! Brings back childhood memories!!
I watched a lot of Channel 60 and Gumby came on before school. I was a 11 in 1984, so my friends and I would meme on Gumby a bit. It was intended for a younger audience but still entertaining for an 11 year old, even though we were much more sophisticated 😂
From the early-to-mid 1970s here in L.A., KCOP Ch. 13 showed Gumby Monday thru Friday at 8:30 in the morning or thereabouts. 📺📺📺📺📺 😁😁😁😁😁
Watching Gumby feels perfect to watch on a rainy day
The channel 60 era was a good time, before it moved to 50. And Gumby was amazing, I got really into the character, with a tshirt, calendar, pins and the figures.
Omg, I had these lil dolls!! My most prized toys!!!😂❤💯 I loved this show!!
Watchexd him here in Los Angeles on KTTV and KCOP. Yes Dallas McKennon did Gumby but Art Clokey was still Pokey, Dammit.
Yeah, on KCOP, it was on at 8:30 in the morning, if I remember correctly, after Skip & Woofer. 😁😁😁😁😁
They actually shared the voiceover duties as Pokey.
On the National PTA PSA .
Neal Sabin is now Vice Chairman & President of Content & Networks for Weigel Broadcasting.
Me TV , WCIU , et al.
@@RusstheTroubadourComes full circle!
Caught it on KCOP in SLO
Take me back to these days please, someone invent a time machine I'm all in.🚀
Thank you so much for uploading this. I loved Gumby as a kid and had several tapes of recordings of this show from channel 60 as a kid. Alas, they eventually got erased or lost. I'm so glad you managed to find one! bows to your greatness
This is cool 😊
Veteran Character Actor Dallas( Dal) McKennon voiced Gumby and Pokey.
The original air date for The Zoops was January 1 1960.
Not 1956 as Fuzzy stated in the description.
Yup, and from 1967-'69 it was Norma (Sweet Polly) MacMillan who voiced Gumby as well as Goo.
@@kennethoats2322 She also voiced Casper in "The New Casper Cartoon Show" which premiered in September of 1963 .
A new series of Casper & Friends adventures produced especially for ABC. Mixed with older shorts.
Also Alison Arngrim ( Nelly of "Little House") is her daughter.
Sounds like in copyrighting it 1956 whoever prepared it for airing got it wrong. Or was it 1958, now that I see it closely? Whatever, there must've been a gap between when produced and when first aired.
Am I the only one who hears Flintstones background music through the whole Gumby episode? 🤩🤩 would make sense since it was produced during the same time period, but SUCH a pleasant throwback and surprise 💕😭
Car-Tunes... trying to describe what tat was without a visual aide did it no justice, I've found.
Awesome! 🤘📼🔥
I also watched a lot of Channel 60 - Gumby, Robotech, Spectreman!
Its Gumby, Damnit
I do have to wonder, to what extent did Eddie Murphy's Gumby impersonation on "Saturday Night Live" play in this revival?
@@wmbrown6 This is the original, the revival happened in 1988.
I was exposed to Eddie Murphy Gumby before I ever knew what Gumby was.
@@chrisw6164I was exposed to the originals in the mid 80's that were distributed by ZIV International. This was definitely the last of that era.
@@chrisw6164 - I guess what I meant was, did WPWR's picking up Gumby in this state have any relation to Murphy's impersonation?
@@wmbrown6 I don’t think so. Murphy first did the Gumby bit in early 1982.
Gumby's mouth looks different in 'The Zoops'. Also, it's neat that WPWR aired 'Battle Of The Planets' was airing on WPWR in 1984 because our stations in Pittsburgh had stopped airing it by that point. (WPTT 22 could've aired along side 'Voltron', 'Inspector Gadget', and He-Man', but they didn't.) WTBS (TBS) was airing it around this time, too.
Funny how they got us kids to watch this stop motion shows and buy the toys......then bring 'Ol Gumby and Pokey back over 20 years later
Hal Smith and Dick Bealls provided various voices on "The Funny Company".
Don't Forget Davey And Goliath.
Which, as of 1963, was held by WOR Channel 9 in New York.
As WWOR in Secaucus, they picked up the rebooted, redubbed Gumby in 1988. Wonder which station(s) in the NYC metro would have aired this incarnation of "Gumby" originally, and when.
@@wmbrown6 The 'Gumby' reboot never aired in any of the Pittsburgh stations for some reason. We use to carry WOR on cable, but was dropped by 1986. So I missed out on the new 'Gumby'.
I recent years, I have had the pleasure of rewatching Gumby with my kids. It is good, but not necessarily for the reasons I enjoyed it as a kid.
Gumby always had this weird other-worldly quality. The character designs are quite weird. The characters live among humans, but that aspect is as conspicuous as all get out but it is never explored at all. Though the characters slide into books and sometimes travel to the toy world, most of the episodes take place in a quaint post-war suburban sprawl. Art Clokey seemed to be a non-traditional guy who was trying to create a program with traditional values in modern and post-modern America.
Clokey was too cool to be normal and not hip enough to be cutting edge. His shorts just feel weird and disconnected in ways that are difficult to define.
Same.
When I watched these in the late 80s as a kid I always felt like they were abstract like a1950s fever dream and cool.
GUMBY ist just total crazzys :;S ilove it
clay bois
Remember! Dairruger 15 was NOT Voltron... Oh wait...
12:43 I believe the main voice of the Voltron promo is Danny Dark.
Superman from 'Superfriends'.
Art Clokey himself there at the end of the show.
But...what did he get his mom for a present?!?!
(Oh gosh, even if you watch the ending you don't find out! Pokey just says he's tired of Gumby's schemes and it ends!)
Robot rump?
Damn, out of pig's blood!
