The Banana Splits

Show Summary

Aired: 1968 - 1970
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

The Splits are not cartoon characters they were the hosts of a show that presented great cartoons like The 3 Musketeers, The Arabian Knights, Microventure, The Hillbilly Bears, and the live action Danger Island ("Uh Oh Chongo!"). The show ran on NBC Saturday mornings from September 7, 1968 to September 5, 1970. The Saturday morning version was an hour long and was originally titled, "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour." When the show went into syndication in 1971 it was used to showcase other HB material each day of the week: "The Adventures of Gulliver," "Secret Squirrel," "Atom Ant," "The New Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn," and of course "The Banana Splits & Friends" which featured segments from the Splits' Saturday morning show.

The `nana splits, I never realized how long ago it was originally aired it hasn`t aged unlike me, it reminded me of the Monkeys & my dad now in his late 70`s told me it reminded him of the Marrix brothers at their hight, fleagle was Groucho, drooper was zeppo, bingo was chiko, snorky was harpo as he never really spoke much.

And " hasan cabaarr " & " size of an elephant " ingrained on my young mind forever, from the arabian nights, never could remember the donkeys name though.

I watch it every day on Boomerang with my 3 year old daughter, who actually LOVES Danger Island! I watched it then, and I STILL love The Banana Splits!

In case any of you who were teen SoCal punk/garage rock fans in the late 70's or early 80's have forgotten or were never aware (or, ftm, decidedly trying hard to forget those days or just prefer to keep it to themselves - ykwya) there was a cover version of the theme song performed by LA punk rock group The Dickies. Anybody remember them?

Umm must be a misprint or somethin' cuz if Jaleel White was born in 1976, then how could he have played Drooper if the series ran from 1968-1970??
