The Banana Splits Show

[Big Bull]

Does anyone remember the old Banana Splits Show?
LA LA LA LALALALA!

Jan Michael Vincent got his start there at age 18, as a jungle boy.

Here They Are!

I've never seen the people underneath the costumes. Wonder if they're all still alive. Wouldn't it be great if we took off the costumes and found Nixon, Erlichman, Haldeman, and Kissinger? :)

I remember the Dune Buggy the best!
VW chassis/motor. Or was it Corvair?

[shaggie]

Or was it Speed Buggy? That one was on around the early 70s.

.... or even Hoffa.

I was raised with this programme. When I was 6 it was the best thing on TV. I used to watch that, Little House on the Prairie(ha ha), Mystery Island, a French serial called Mikhail Strugoff(or something like that), Combat and the daily stock market report. But Banana Splits was, by far, my favourite.

Does anyone remember the cartoons they showed? I remember the one called Arabian Nights or something, and it had this really funny donkey in it.

Man, I'm having flashbacks!!!http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif

[shaggie]

Arabian Knights and Three Muskateers were two of the cartoons. Danger Island had actors.

Thanks Shaggy. Everything's crystal now.

I like those go-karts they used to drive. And Robbie the Robot. :)

haha I remeber watching that show when I was kid, I have to watch that on acid soon

[soccergirl]

I believe I have seen this show. Did this show have the purple grape gang which was a group of little girls dancing in grape costumes which terrified the banana splits.

[shaggie]

Not sure. I remember a little girl that would dance toward them and knock them over with a hip shake. :)

If a group of grapes scared me, I wouldn't scream. I would just let out a little whine. (grapes, wine, heh heh.) :)

I was once told I had to sing the Banana Splits theme to get my paycheck at work. I could only remember the LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA part, but it was more than anyone else had been able to come up with that day. :)
