Summaries

The adventures of Gumby, a being made of clay and who can transform into several shapes, without losing his anatomy. He is accompanied by his red pony Pokey.

Gumby first appeared in the 1953 film short Gumbasia (believed to be one of the first music videos). In 1956, Gumby and his horse friend Pokey appeared on The Howdy Doody Show. It was so popular that it became its own show in 1957, called The Gumby Show. The show contained the 1956 shorts along with new ones. Each episode consisted of 3 cartoons. In the 1960s Goo the blue mermaid, Prickle the yellow dinosaur, and Nopey the dog were introduced. Later came the Blockheads, who sometimes chased after Gumby, Pokey, Prickle, and Goo with some scheme in their block heads. Gumbo and Gumba were Gumby's Father and Mother.—Art Clokey
