Reviews

kinofan1 This was a really cute kids' show, but what really amazes me is that I can still remember the theme song, and I have it on an old 45 record in it's original sleeve.We'll be doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doing the Banana Split, ya'll. We'll be slidin' it, peelin' it, scoopin' it, etc.!Anyone know what it might be worth? I don't think I'd part with it, though, any more than parting with my Huckleberry Hound bank! There were a lot of "kitschy" shows on at the time, but this one was full of fun and silliness. It's a shame that there aren't as many fun shows for kids these days. They are missing out.UPDATE! I did find the 45, to discover that I don't have the sleeve, but I do have 2 records. So KHDolan, the group is actually the Banana Splits. Here are the names of the songs.Record 1 - Doing' the Banana Split, I Enjoy Being a Boy (in love with you), The Beautiful Calliopa, and Let Me Remember You Smiling.Record 2 - The Tra-la-la Song (One Banana, Two Banana), That's the Pretty Part of You, It's a Good Day for a Parade, and The Very First Kid on My Block.A Past, Present, and Future Production by David Mook, for Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. (1969)Good luck!

ge1502 I as a kid remember coming home after school and watching the Banana Splits. That was one of my Favorite Shows as is today. I was thrilled to see that it is back on T.V. unfortunately the time that it comes on is utterly ridiculous. I was looking forward to watching it again. Why would Cartoon Network have it on at those crazy hours. Danger Island was one of my favorite episodes. I wanted to live in California just to see the show live in person.The Banana Splits was such a wholesome show back in the early 70's it was such a fun show to watch something that your whole family can enjoy together. I wish this generation could appreciate a Great show like this.Maybe all of us Banana Splits fans will have to set our alarm clocks to watch it.

happipuppi13 I was only 3 and 4 when I saw this show. (I was 3 in '71 so it must have been re-runs already.) I remember just laughing at how silly and goofy the characters acted. I barely understood what,if anything ,that they were saying. I watched the cartoons 1/2 understanding them of course.The theme song never,and I mean never,exited my head from day one and recently I found a 45rpm copy of the song,which I bought for about $1.I gotlucky in 2003 and got cable TV and for one night only on Cartoon Network got to see about 3 or 4 shows in a row! I laughed a little but obviously what's funny then isn't always as funny later. I did laugh at the cartoons (unintentionally). For the times,they were pretty good.The show can be currently seen on "Boomerang" channel,basically Cartoon network Pt. 2 on Hi-Def cable.I'll still give a 10 star rating,because when childhood memories are good,they're always good. Great job Daws Butler and Allan Melvin & Co. Allan Melvin by the way was Barney on "All In The Family" and Sam Franklin the Butcher on "The Brady Bunch." (Allan passed away at 84 on 01/19/2008).

akpolar I remember this show and mickey mouse club the original. I loved these shows as far as banana splits I really remember tom sawyer but all these. they weren't violent they were awesome and i so want to share these and grape ape and land of the lost and the show w/ ruth buzzy and jim neighbors with my kids. these cartoons now stink and aren't appropriate for my kids please bring these awesome well loved appropriate totally rad cartoons back for this new generation I believe these shows helped define me as a good loving person. Please help my children don't hide these away in the archives that would be a waste and should be a crime by the way how about donny and marie osmand and shananaSincerely the biggest fan of class in television
