 The British version differs to the USA version with different running times per episode, they might have chopped the segments and rearranged them into different shows, There were a lot of comments about this on Amazon when the series first got issued on dvd.

In case you are not aware, there is a Banana Splits horror movie which was made a few years back. The lovable bunch are now animatronics which go on the rampage after learning that their show is to be axed. I don't think it was a successful transition.

 I watched this in the early 70s and loved every minute of it.

But as Biff says it's a tad dated now, too much pot going about in those days maybe.

 Yes... I too remember seeing this in the late 70's and loved it at the time. I saw an episode a few years ago and... well... definitely a product of it's time.

Yes... it was shown a few times over the years into the 80's.

 They showed this in the mid-late 70s in the UK on Saturday mornings. I'd never seen anything like it before - me being a kid of 4 witnessing total visual cacophany before my eyes. I was always strangely fascinated of the Moose's head on the wall - it's eyes used to move. The sound effects too were straight out of The Three Stooges, except the Banana Splits' comedy was more cartoonish. I loved it, and simultaneously was annoyed by it. A strange combination. I wouldn't have minded riding about the dunes in them dune buggies, though.

Is anyone in the USA aware of the extent to which we in the UK were totally immersed in your pop culture? :D
