Banana Splits

Premiered (September 7, 1968)

---

The Banana Splits were four costumed actors performing zany slapstick humor. They pun, offer advice and answers to important questions of all time, They also run into each other alot, & carry on like nothing you have ever seen before. They would introduce cartoons & a live action segment called "Danger Island" (directed by Richard Donner). The Splits are the daffiest, wackiest foursome to hit TV since the tube was invented. Recurring segments include: Splits Handshake - Take Out the Trash - Dear Drooper - Mildred - Secret Password - Sour Grapes Messenger Girl - Fleagle News - Club Business - Hold the Bus - The Dilly Sisters - Uh Oh! Chongo, & many Really Groovy Music Videos.
