It's the REAL original one (with the "Seely-Loose" Hanna-Barbera/Columbia/Jay Ward/Clokey(the creator of Gumby) associated
produciton cues used by Warner Bros. as well for a while in 1958 and Jack Wrather on the GOOD ORIGINAL Lassie) on In2tv.com and YouTube.
Courtesy of DGMI. (The 1980s syndicated one had, save for the by then standard updated voice based on Dal McKennon, the longtime voice of Gumby, Professor Dingledog from Woody Woodpecker and Archie in the Filmation version, and the storekeeper in Aaron Spelling's 1964 Daniel Boone starring none other than Disney's "Davey Crockett",Fess Parker), but ironically what little music there was, ironically was from the 1956 series as werre the soudn SFX, the other 1980s-2000s Gumby reruns weren't so lucky and Gumby even had all those awful IMHO new episodes with that same syndrome and a portait falling off with the title. But THESE showings on the websites above are the ORIGINAL REAL DEAL!!!)
There is also one of those episodes that almost totally made it intact in it's original state from 1955 to the modern series, the "Gumby on the moon" trilogy from "It's Howdy Doody Time:,where Gumby originally resided! But it';s TOTALLY in its original form. Compare THIS, "Gumby on the moon", and the more childlike voice with the "Trapped on the Moon" (on YouTube,if it's still there) where the 1956 soundtrack is still there EXCEPT for the voices.Mind you the music licesning was the reason the entire AUDIO ahd long been replaced, including the sound FX,which btw weren't copyright. and none can,far as I know, back on track here:
AGAIN,BTW the sequel: Those early moon-bound Gumbys have sound effects that would turn up in vagule similliar, speeded-up form as our belvoed car alarm sounds that just about everyone's car has! - the b'weeps bweeps floooops flopps and so forth. (Gumby and Pokey in their early 1960s incarnation revisited the moon in another famous episode). Sound effects were basically all there were on these early ones, but still the canned music was suprsiingly still there in the 1980s revival, the ONLY Gumby episodes by then to still have this honor, along with the Sound FX,since Gumby's voice had been rerecorded (as I said before) to match the late 1950s-early 1960s "Dallas McKennon" speeded up variant that was used before Dick Beals and Norma MacMillan took over in the 60s (the former also did Speedy Alka Seltzer and Clokey's own Davey of "..and Goliath" and the latter, "Underdog's " Sweet Polly and Gumby's girlfriend Goo and also the females on the later episodes of "Davey and Goliath".) for "Trapped on the Moon" but its cousin similairy titled with "Gumby on.." instead has the ORIGINAL VOICE FOR GUMBY!!! YAY!!!:cool:
Those eaarly ones were as rerun in the case of that first story in three parts (the very first, "Moon Trip", being the first and as far as I know, the actual title therefore-see final part of this sentence), and thereafter in two parts or in similiirly themed "twin stories" ,e.g.shared themes like beaver,racing,etc., but they'd actually been on "It's Howdy Doody Time" starting in 1956 as triple length for the first and double length for the others (compared to how they've
been rerun) and "Moon Trip", as the first one's called, was apparently also what the FULL-LENGTH version (from which "Gumby on.." and "Trapped on the Moon" as mentioend were extracted,same with the others-"The Racing Game shortened with "Gumby Racer" taken out, and "Too loo" spawning its 6 minute version and the companion "A Gumby Concerto" of equalivalent lnegth and so forth later in 1957 onward around the time Gumby got Mickey Mouse eyes, this was discontinued for self-contained 7 minute and later 4 minute Gumbys.
Anyhow, the sites are:
In2TV.com & YouTube.com.
If you're disapoointed by the Rhino collections that had the synth music, fret no more, for here are 33 of them on In2TV and a few plus another "Ricochet Pete" from 1962 that's not on the In2TV.com site but is on YouTube, and from DGMI.com. Their stuff is legal. BTW Joe Clokey, son of our hero, Art Clokey (the creator of Gumby), has been restoring these, so you KNOW that these presenations are legal!
