5.0 out of 5 stars I never met a Banana I didn't like..., 23 Sep 2009

By	Kuma Chan - See all my reviews

If anyone reading this is wary of buying it cos its got the 2008 Banana splits costumes on the cover, let me reassure you its the original OLD 1st series with all the 3 musketeers + Arabian Knights cartoons, Danger Island + all the Live action Banana Splits bits + music videos etc, 18 hours of it, worth every penny !!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Syndicated Cable TV' Edited Version DVD release., 27 Sep 2009

By	Luke73 (LONDON) - See all my reviews

The original Show was called 'The Banana Splits Adventure Hour' and consisted of 18 hour long episodes, give and take commercials. For Syndication Cable TV in the US each 1st Season episode was re-edited into two episodes lasting around 22 minutes each. It is this version that is released on the DVD package. The contents of each episode seems to be intact. All the cartoons are complete and in chronological order as well as the live action 'Danger Island'. All the music videos are here.

There are 6 episodes per disc, with a total of 36 (Hence 18 original Episodes split into 2 including all the start/end credits)

The picture (Original 4:3)/sound quality (Original mono) are in great condition considering the age of the material. The menus allow you to choose an episode or chapter into a particular cartoon or 'Danger Island'. Little can be said about the packaging as this is a real let down. Surely an original photograph or graphic design should have been used and a booklet or inlay print to display the episode guide for each disc would have been helpful. However, I guess it's the contents that matters! The DVD case is standard size, but stores the staggering 6 Discs, that are easy to remove by gentle push button.

Interestingly I think this is the first time The Banana Splits has been released on DVD. I don't think it's been release in the US yet. But for a generation of young people of that era who watch the Banana splits first time round this is a real 'blast' from past treat. Young and old will enjoy this bit of television history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dear Drooper, 14 Sep 2009

By	James Keary "playwright" (Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Banana Splits was first shown on BBC 1 in 1970 on Friday afternoons from 4.55p.m. to 5.40p.m. and for me 'Danger Island' was the hook. Each episode ended with a cliffhanger - with quite often Linc (Jan-Michael Vincent of Airwolf fame) in mortal danger. At the end of the first episode, he's attacked by a shark. There was nearly always a freeze-frame ending to each episode. The serial was directed by Richard Donner, who went on to direct the Lethal Weapon films. Hopefully, Danger Island will be included in this dvd package.
Other treats are the cartoons, Arabian Knights, The Three Musketeers and Micro Adventures. Plus the songs and slapstick comedy elements make it a must-have dvd package for fiftysomethings like me, who are still kids at heart.
I remember seeing re-runs of it on the satellite channel 'Boomerang' a few years back, but they had chopped it all up to fit a half hour format - with commercials and it wasn't the same.
So, I'm really looking forward to this dvd release to have a good wallow in nostalgia.
