    I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

    Whilst I know this is an American show, like many Americans, we here, in the UK saw it on our screens and everyone I knew enjoyed it. Combining the mad action of the 'boys' (Is that what I could call 'em?) with the okay-cartoons (Yes they weren't necessarily any different from the churned-out Hanna-Barbera type of stuff, but still enjoyable)this was a good combination that worked.One of my favourite skits, was the little girl who kept singing 'Ta-ra boom de ayyy!', much to the annoyance of the boys, they then tried to keep her out, but she kept on popping up and singing the same tune to annoy them further. Personally, although the cartoons were okay, I looked forward to the time when the boys showed their faces and were up to their usual craziness. I have really missed this and although the cartoons wouldn't make us bat an eyelid now, the antics of the boys would always have me glued to the screen if they came back!

    I was reading the first comment that shows up about how the guy got cable TV in 2003 and saw them rerun a bunch of shows in a row on Cartoon Network! I caught that too! I had gotten up to have a garage sale at 6am, turned the TV on, flipped around a while and saw it. Small world indeed! I loved this show when it came on. Would come home everyday and jam out to the song. If anyone is interested, there was a CD released called "Saturday Morning Cartoons" which had a rockin' cover of the theme song by Juliana Hatfield. Such memories always make me stop and smell the roses from time to time. So funny how we can't remember what we had for dinner last month but we know moments like this by heart. Hopefully heaven will allow us to be kids just once more.

    Seeing this show was very nostalgic for me. I was a kid during that era, and I used to watch the Banana Splits every week when it was on - same time frame as the Monkees. Was there ever a better time for TV? Not only is the show clever in its ruses and gags, but there is an action sequence for almost any taste in the silly, yet amusing, Danger Island.I did notice an actor in Danger Island that I used to see during the later 1960's and throughout the 1970's. His name is Jimmy Bradfield. He had a very small part in this show, as one of the "natives" that befriends Michael Vincent. He was in the Heat of the Night movie with Sidney Poitier as a youngster. He was a guest (not a guest-star) on the Brady Bunch. I know he was in the Babysitter horror movies, and he played on a few other '70s shows before working with the obligatory rock band. Alas, he seems to have disappeared, probably because no one is making the fairly mindless, yest still humorous shows like they used to. Too bad, I mourn for the simpler days.

    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.
