UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

BarrisDarkly I was 16 when I first saw this, which was just last summer, and that was the only time. I was at my friend's house one night and we were going through the channels on his TV. This was on Boomerang I think, and when we reached it, the people in the animal costumes singing that tra la la song almost immediately threw me into what my friend described as a "catatonic state." I'm not sure if I'd explain it as that drastic, but I remember screaming and writhing on the couch. I'm not sure if this is an isolated incident or if others have experienced this when watching this program. I don't even know if I'd go into the same fits if I were to watch it again, but I'm not one to find out.What I'm saying is: Use caution when watching this show.

Andybern I watched this show in 1969 when my father was stationed in Bangkok and the family relocated. I didn't like it. I loved it. And I can still hum the Banana Splits theme song. The part I enjoyed a lot was the write-in letter for Dear Drooper. He would always come up with the zaniest reply. To a writer, amazed that the light from the sun travels 86,000 miles per second, he replies, "Don't forget, it's downhill all the way." To a safety conscious student driver, he replies, "The most dangerous part of the car is the nut holding the steering wheel." I still have the tape recording (monoraul audio) I made back then. This is part of my childhood and my early lessons in humor.

Brian Washington This was a show that I truly enjoyed looking at as a child. The songs may have been corny bubblegum, but they were enjoyable. Also, the back up features (The Three Musketeers, The Arabian Knights and, of course, Danger Island) were what really made this show special. I hope that they will eventually release it on D.V.D. and that the songs will be re-released on compact disc.

obe-one One of my favorite Saturday morning kids shows growing up. My favorite segment was "Danger Island" which also featured a young Jan-Michael-Vincent, but who at that time was billed as Michael Vincent.I wish the Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon would show the reruns.
