The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) | Gumby - WPWR Channel 60 (Complete Broadcast, 12/26/1984) 📺 @FuzzyMemoriesTV | Uploaded 7 months ago | Updated 7 minutes ago
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.

Includes:
Station ID / promo for Gumby next, followed by Birdman and the Galaxy Trio (voiceover by ?)
Notice of National PTA "conceptual" recommendation (voiceover by Neal Sabin)
Gumby creator Art Clokey opens show with his main characters, "son" Gumby and pal Pokey (the "clay boys", next to him)
