Children's TV classic The Banana Splits is getting a modern makeover.
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky are to star in new comedy shorts and music videos on the Cartoon Network and its website from September.
A series of DVDs, live concerts, music CDs, and online games from the anarchic crew are expected to follow.
"Everything that made The Banana Splits popular in the '60s is back, including the group's terrific humour and music," said Jordan Sollitto, of Warner Bros.

One bananna, two bananna, three bananna Boy, that brings back some cobwebs. Can't say I remember anything about the show, but I vaguely remember the theme song.

“Oh PLEASE use the Dickies version of the theme song for the new show! La-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la La-la-la-la-la!”
This is Flash Jr.’s favorite, since I showed it to him on Youtube a few months ago. Now he asks for the “Banana Song” every time the computer is on.

All I could ever think of during that show was, "C'mon, c'mon -- let's get on with the CARTOONS!"

They show reruns on the
Boomerang channel. Every so often I'll catch the show channel surfing.

That show was like The Monkees in costume.

Great theme song but the show was nonsense. My band circa 1980 used the Dickies as inspiration and played this song also.

Heck..I just watched it for the “Sour Grapes”....pre-teen girls in mini-dresses an lilac-colored tights, performing go-go dance moves....
Hey...I was 11 at the time.
What I never understood was how they always managed to beat up the much-bigger Splits. One of the mysteries of life, I suppose.

WOW. If you liked them or not you got to admit they aged well. None of them look a day older!

My first grader will love em. Me? When they were on TV, I was into much more sophisticated TV programing like Gilligan, Get Smart, Adams Family and all the rest of the after school line-up. And remember the Saturday morning cartoons?
I am glad to see many of these series coming to DVD. I will still watch them.
