The Banana Splits are Back!
The Brothers Krofft’s first famous puppets, “The Banana Splits”, are coming back to the Cartoon Network. Variety gives us the information:
Hanna-Barbera’s 1960s phenom is returning in a multiplatform effort starting Sept. 2, with shorts and musicvideos airing on Cartoon Network and its website. Future efforts will include DVD and audio CD releases, as well as live performances.
Once in awhile we are treated to repeats of “The Banana Splits”, and my kids have really enjoyed it. The type of humor and style that was in “The Banana Splits” and the Krofft Shows have been missing from Saturday Morning. The manga-style entertainment is getting tiresome, and I think kids are ready for some old-school stuff.
I’m really looking forward to this, and I know my children are also. What do you think? Is the world ready for the splits to return?
The only one who has changed looks throughout the episodes is Snorky who is my favorite.
My wife remembers the Banana splits deep nostalgia. They were very close friends of hers. She would love a lunch box. If you are starting a new product line, which includes a lunch box, please tell me how to order one. The classic 1969 version is either impossible to find or too expensive.
