I do.

BTW not rain Blockheads on our Gumby parade BUTTTTT... ,the one that used to show on Nickelodeon wasn't technically THE one..it was like someone had taken Hanna Barbera music director Hoyt Curtain's 1960s FLINSTONE music or Henry Mancini's PINK PANTHER soundtrrack or Carl Stalling'sLOONEY TUNE MERRIE MELODIES scores and put Courtney Love music on 'em!(I love, pardon my awful pun, CLove but this is a different matter!!)

From 1956-1969 when the originals were done a widevariety of oldtime bluegrass, "50s elevator muzak strings",and varied jazz backings from wildly popular stock-production music libraries (some may say muzak

) (like what Nickelodeon themselves usedon CLARRISA EXPLAINS, WELCOME FRESHMAN, REN & STIMPY, and what widely was used in 50s-60s on TVand in half adozen Warner Bros.cartoons in 1958 due to a music strike) were employed.

Thru their next years froim 1969 thru 1987 (when the new syndicatedshows--the originals both ran on NBC as first part of the old 1947-1960 HOWDY DOODYTV favethen as a n independed hosted series, then on SYndication)-debuted and replacedthe older packages!) they retained the eaisly identifiable soundtracks. Children, and adults (who'd consitedby NOW of kids of the 1950s who'd seen these on their blackand white Magnavox's!) who saw these old friends Gumby and Pokey would rememebr that music and voicesand sound FX.

(BTW----Famed Series Creator-Producer Arthur Clokey usuallyhadamuch bigger hand, clay or otherwise

in creation even despite the usual creators rightswith Lakesideand othersfactors getting in the way-he wrote almost all of the episodes, for instance!And voiced Pokey and directedas often as he wrote.)

In 1988 when the newshows (written,again, by Mr.C, this time excellently cirumventing a writers strike that caused other new or returning made forTV shows with new made for TV episodes-as opposed to the contnuing Bugs Bunny theatricals which of course were made years ago already!)-arrived, theoriginal soundtracks, which of course had the memorable, awesome(and not just in an eighties' sense either!) finally arrived, they were very controversially regarded, so changed were the original shows in the audio dept. (voices and SFX too-save for the first few ones), that there were sea-to-shining-sea protests and boycotts.

Supposedly some DVD's do exist with the original music,etyc.,I would love to hear that (I DO have the 1980s FHE videos.The open and closing were taken off for the 1988 syndicated-by-"Premavision" (the company that Artand wife Gloria Clokey founded) episodes--just a picture falling off the wall. This stock graphic was implemented for these modern day makeovers.

BTW now to get away from the reissue stuffand on a lighter note here, I used to sethe good three original UMBY series.

Roughly, and including the HOWDY DOODY 1955-56 appearances.
THe first ones...incl.HD appaer.and the subseqent NBC show.1955-1958.

The second series. 1961-1962.

The third series (w/Prickle,Goo,et.c) (includes the mid1966 patriotic/Pilgrim shorts) 1966-1969. (it is to be noted that the Pilgrim/Patriot episodes--SON OF LIBERTY, costarring Gumby'sand Pokey's sometime buddy the Groobee,abeewho builds crates-don't ask!

), GUMBY CROSSES THE DELAWARE-acreatorfaverave, POKEY'S PRICE & PILGRIM's ON THE ROCKS, bear CLOSING SCREEN credits., Here we note that Woody Woodpecker/Disney/Archie-Filmation guest star in toons and the Mel Blanc of cheap toon-ist Sam (SINBAD, COURAGEOUS CAT) Singer, and frequent live guest on ANDYGRIFFTIH & DANIEL BOONE,m Dallas McKennon, a very undersung, versatile,m and freequent character actor, does the voices. One of Gumby'sthemes followed Mssr.McKennon,from Singer to CLokey it seems...the "Deee....Deeedle-Dee-DEE-Dee-Dee-DEE, Dee-Dee-DEE'" tune, startshowingupohere, as would hsi offiical original bubblegum rock tune-"If you gotta heart.."

I was born in 1960.

When I saw these, I did not know how old our Gumster was(1955-!)

(This was true of a lot of shows,even more so for ONE season shows..Iwasamazedtorememebr how earlthe original, pre-Reagan Era JFK eraALVIN SHOW (1961-1962, notthe blah Chippetes abominations!

)
debute.d.1961! After all, CBS would rerun it til the sixties.Then I discovered Roger Ramjet.

Growing up asakid of a sixties, I not only was unaware how far back Gumby dated far, but over time, I'd forget howfar back that I'D haveseen hikm..he contineud to entertain us tiull the 1960s.

The reruns then followed. They came back in the 80s..but the show got the soudntrracks messedwith for legal reasons..Ifyou do not mind alink..Amazon.com, then typein Gumby 7-disc forreivews on the set.and on the condition (thewrecked audio was on there as well.) I even put in some reivews.)

^^ The person above is correct ( and a year older

) Anyway, funny story, when I was little , I watched this and loved it, so, in the late 80s ( After these cartoons hadnt been shown here on years ), I rented a VHS tape of old Gumby eps so the smaller children in the house would have something to watch while the adults did other things at my Moms annual Christmas party...well, the kids didnt care at all, they looked, then went to play games and such, it was us adults who sat in front of the TV watching Gumby and Pokey and singing the theme song!

hehe
