Saturday Cartoon Throwback Thread- Gumby (11/15/08)

Hello boys and girls, welcome to this week's Saturday Cartoon Throwback Thread. For this edition, it is all about GUMBY, GUMBY!

35 years.

That is how long Gumby lasted. And for many all over, Gumby and his friends still last, and linger in our memories. It has crossed two and maybe three generations of children with how the series had a resurgence on Cartoon Network in the 90's (and Nickelodeon too I think). And both Madtv and Saturday Night Live had a field day making parodies of the big green kid.

First, the latest song intro with the kids signing over it. This one, to me, was the best because of the kids (through it is also the only one I knew until I saw the other Youtube videos).

Thanks to these people nutcases at DMGIfamily, I can't embed any of the episodes, so you will have to just click on them over here.

Hilarious MadTV Cops segment featuring Gumby. Classic:

That's SCTT for this week boys and girls. Until next time, stay safe, and Sha-la!
