Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Isbel
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Whilst I know this is an American show, like many Americans, we here, in the UK saw it on our screens and everyone I knew enjoyed it. Combining the mad action of the 'boys' (Is that what I could call 'em?) with the okay-cartoons (Yes they weren't necessarily any different from the churned-out Hanna-Barbera type of stuff, but still enjoyable)this was a good combination that worked.One of my favourite skits, was the little girl who kept singing 'Ta-ra boom de ayyy!', much to the annoyance of the boys, they then tried to keep her out, but she kept on popping up and singing the same tune to annoy them further. Personally, although the cartoons were okay, I looked forward to the time when the boys showed their faces and were up to their usual craziness. I have really missed this and although the cartoons wouldn't make us bat an eyelid now, the antics of the boys would always have me glued to the screen if they came back!

It must have taken ages getting all of the info together, with regards to actors etc. however I wanted to let you all know that I have built a new website over this weekend, the website address is as follows http://www.banana-splits-show.com/index_1.htmlI hope you all enjoy it as the website is a little bigger than the last one and has more pictures. my website is probably the only site in the world to have pictures of the banana splits in there banana buggies. I wonder how long it will take before they appear on other sites. also just out of curiosity does anybody know what happened to the banana splits costumes? as I always get asked as to there where abouts.

This was basically, "The Monkees" for kids with cartoons and a weekly serial tossed in for fun. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was an obvious influence as well with the pop-art sets, patterns and color schemes. Paul Winchell's voice (Jerry Mahoney and Mortimer Snurd - a popular Ventriloquist/Dummy act of the time) as Fleagle was fun. Winchell was also the voice of "Tigger" from Disney's "Winnie the Pooh" and many other cartoon voices, including the leader of the "Anthill Mob" in "The Adventures of Penelope Pitstop." Daws Butler's voice (Huckleberry Hound and many others) as Bingo was great too.I had to see reruns of this show to remember it was Jan Michael Vincent's t.v. debut in the "Danger Island" segment."Chongo" (Uh Oh) got a little irritating with his constant bird sounds in place of real language.The cartoons were fun - Three Musketeers and Arabian Nights.It was an obvious Hannah-Barbera effort.Lots of fun for kids. Teens too.GREAT theme song (La la la, la la la la)!

You don't Know how big this was back in the day...Heck I used to watch this ALL the time. Loved the Splits, the Musketeers Toons and their music. It was very funny. Haven't seen it much since but that's fine, it was meant for the 6 year old mind-set and it's in that frame of reference that it belongs.*** outta ****.
