Gumby Celebrates 50th TV Anniversary

NEW YORK, March 16: To
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the television series The Gumby
Show today, classic TV episodes from
the 1950s and 60s, including the pilot Gumby on the Moon, have been digitally remastered and launched on
Google and AOL/In2TV, as well as on YouTube via the DMGI channel.

Over
the next few months, 200-plus Gumby episodes will roll out to the digital channels. In addition to this week's
Google, YouTube and AOL/In2TV launch, The Essential Gumby DVD collection will be released this fall and a
new remastered director's cut of the 1995 Gumby Movie will premiere this April at the Tribeca Film
Festival in New York City. The Gumby episodes are being distributed by DMGI,
who has licensed the episodes from Classic Media and Premavision.

Joe
Clokey, the son of Gumby
creator Art Clokey, has digitally remastered each episode from the classic TV
series. The original soundtrack has also been restored. This is the first time
that the series has been in its original format in over 20 years. After more
than 40 years, the episodes from the 1950s have also been restored to their
original 11-minute format, from previously re-edited two six-minute shorts.

Joe
Clokey, the president of Clokey Productions, commented, "For 50 years,
Gumby with his innate goodness and eternal optimism, has inspired us to look at
the bright side of life. His imaginative and creative adventures have always
struck a chord with people. Gumby's digital launch is the perfect way to give
the gift of these stories to today's audience and help inspire generations to
come."
