I feel olddddd LOL! I remember this came on Saturday morning in LA market this was joke one of LA hard rock station that you usually when you got older around 20 then Farmer Almaric on KHJ 9 turn into KCAL 9 after you been on Saturday night early Sunday morning coming off Crystal Meth high For many children of the 1960s and 1970s, it’s a familiar scene: Sunday morning sunlight pours in through the window as you sprawl out on the living room floor. Some families busy themselves as they get ready for church—you may even already have on your Sunday best. From the family TV, a familiar voice bellows: “Oh, Daaavey.” The voice belonged to young Davey Hansen’s talking dog, Goliath, in the stop-motion animated series Davey and Goliath, a perennial TV staple. The program, conceptualized by the United Lutheran Church in America (ULCA) and Clokey Productions Inc.—headed by Gumby creators Art Clokey (1921-2010) and Ruth Clokey (1923-2008)—premiered 60 years ago, in February 1961. Some audiences—Lutheran or not, religious or not—knew of its connection to the Lutheran church; others didn’t. But for millions of people around the world today, including many Lutherans, Davey and Goliath’s legacy endures. In 1958, ULCA President Franklin Clark Fry (1900-1968) designated $1 million of the church budget to fund the production of a TV program. The ULCA contracted with the Clokeys, who had already had success with the creation of the iconic stop-motion animated character Gumby, to create a children’s show, Davey and Goliath. www.livinglutheran.org/2021/01/an-animated-anniversary/?fbclid=IwAR0CH11uOpBxuC7ysWittY8wrtoFrXrBKwEvgMMXPAWh8EHOEDCDy_gj8aE#.YAnqDgLXOFQ.facebook
