Fifty years ago this year, legendary animator and producer Art Clokey created Gumby. Soon after, the clayboy received his very own Saturday morning TV series. “The Gumby Show” debuted on March 16, 1957 on NBC. Since then, Gumby has starred in 223 TV episodes, which were produced in the 1950s, 1960s and 1980s.

Gumby Essentials is a must-have collection that includes popular episodes from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1980s series, personally selected by Art Clokey. For his big anniversary close-up, the one and only clayboy gets a makeover! For the first time, Joe Clokey, Art Clokey’s son, has used the original film to digitally re-master each episode from the classic TV series. The original soundtrack has been restored, and the 1950s episodes have been returned to their original 11-minute format (previously two re-edited, 6-minute shorts).

The DVD collection will be available September 4 for $16.93 SRP and features environmentally friendly packaging.

This is a bizarre little clip. It features characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Adult Swim doing a trailer for the Simpsons Movie. Kinda cool to check out.
