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.

This show scared the bejezus out of me as a child. A very good example of why drug users should not produce childrens television shows.

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.
