Before leaving to school between 7:00 am - 7:30 am - Gumby was the entertainment on television for me a few friends who would gather at my house to walk to school. It is amazing how cartoons and children's entertainment has changed...it is all now a memory.
One of my favorite Gumby episodes!
Gumby's Trip to the Moon was the first NBC Gumby film, and the second pilot. Art proudly points out that "Gumby was on the moon long before anybody else really thought about it." It was 1956 when Gumby went to the moon, and we wondered how Art thought up that story.
"Well, you know, the spaceship had four modules on spokes like a wheel. The fifth module, that is the central module, was spherical. The idea was that they would rotate in space and create artificial gravity with centrifugal force. I studied physics and chemistry and so on. I taught chemistry and physics in high school at one time. So I had the knowledge at that time, in 1956."
Too funny Glenn...your cracking me up!
