Anybody remember the Banana Splits (before they become just another Saturday morning cartoon show)? After dropping acid late one Friday night and helping about 6 other people smoke a 2-gram chunk of black hash in the morning, we watched TV, and this insane show I had never seen before came on. After some slapstick, like a clock saying it was either 25 after 10 or 10 after 25, they yelled "Uh-oh, Chongo!" and Danger Island came on. I found a website about the show, which contains movies of the theme song and Danger Island. A little nostalgia for the old folks, as Frank Zappa might have said.

Banana Splits are currently on Boomerang, the sister channel of the Cartoon Network. Boomerang has many of the cartoons that the baby boomers grew up with. Then there was that face on the wall that would talk, and a couple of lightbulbs around it would flash while it talked. I saw an interview with one of the people who created the Banana Splits. He said it was sort of a spoof on the Monkees, who themselves were modeled after the Beatles. When you think about it, the Banana Splits were four characters involved with music and mischief, much the same as the Beatles.
a co-worker and I were just talking about the banana splits the other day...she, however, did not remember Danger Island
Danger Island, with Jan Michael-Vincent. Also the Arabian Knights. Both were pretty lame, the best part of the show was the Banana Splits themselves.
I woz a drummer then an i always resented the fact that the ugly banana split woz the drummer (wot d'ya mean they were all ugly)...arabian knights with the funky donkey and the guy who used to shout SIZE OF AN ELEPHANT!!! in your dreams man...
