    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.
    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
    gazzo-2 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 ****.
