Bingo, Drooper, Fleegle and Snork
29 July 2006
Why am I giving this VHS tape five stars? Obviously to help along the imminent advent of The Banana Splits Show on DVD. This is one of the few live-action (non-cartoon) shows Hanna-Barbera did while Chris Brough, producer of ReBoot was in charge of the live action division. Another memorable show was Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.
Live action shows by Sid and Marty Krofft such as H.R. Puf'n'Stuf, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Lidsville and others in the Krofft Supershow format were quite popular, as well as The Great Space Coaster (with Gary Gnu and the gnews). But this Hanna-Barbera Sat-Am entry is an all-time classic.
Four costumed animals drove around in Banana Buggies and ran around in nonsensical, fun antics reminiscent of the Beatles in Help or Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. But they also showed a number of cartoons, and thus brought back and re-invented the original TV cartoon format of 'toons shown by a live host.
As the unforgettable theme song introduced them: "flippin' like a pancake, poppin' like a cork; Bingo, Drooper, Fleegle and Snork".

BOOMERS Unite!! We need this on DVD!!!
1 May 2007
Transport back to a time of innocence and "all you needed was love" attitude. Back to the time of silly costumes and even sillier jokes. Throw in some cartoons, the tra la la, tra la la la song - and of course - Live action DANGER ISLAND!!!
Please put this show on DVD. Baby boomers WILL purchase this one!!

Banana Splits & Friends
1 Dec 2008
VHS was in excellent shape and very good quality for a older video. I'd wish there was a DVD box set of the all of the seasons but this will have to do for now.
