TROPES!!!! and some other corrections ot earlier blog entries

I've been reading TVTROPES.org, that famous site of plot devices, cliches, and crazy real life stuff. A change to this is, I'm gonna start adding tropes for these starting after I write this..for each.and I haven't done all the Gumby (pre-1980s) episodes (I only go up to the late 60s).

Tropes like
Anti-Hero
Anti-Villian
Cassandra Truth
Jerkass has a point/


For Gumby, 1967's INDIAN COUNTRY has Cassandra Truth:Goo, Prickle, and Pokey repeatedly, when seeing Indians, try and warn Gumby, who doesn;t know of it.

Soundtrack Dissonance: The cues in each could go from one style to another.
Style dissonance: Gumby's look changed in 1950s from one to another..


But you knew all of that. :-)

I'm also adding more informaiton and correctin some earlier entires..I am also most like starting what may be the ONLY in depth FELIX the CAT (Trans LUX version) blog within the next day or two..

Gumby and Pokey's new studiomates, Davey, Sally, Goliath and the Hansons

When Art Clokey enjoyed some years of success with GUMBY and me, he came up with the new DAVY AND GOLIATH series in 1959, in association with The Lutheran Church. This had Davey (Dkick Beals, whpo'd soon guest on Gumby) and Hal Smith (GOliath). Davey was a kid, and Goliayth, his wise but GOOFY sounding dog.."Oh, DAVEY"..it used tons of CInemusic and Capitol stock music piec,es a lot of 'em different than the Gumby ones..Davey and Goliaht would appear a few times like on one of the attempted Pokey solo spinoffs, 1962's SANTA WITCH, and also was with both the boys in that 1961's STRANGE PLANETS
