SubscribeCan a comeback be as good as the original?
Call me shallow but this is possibly the best piece of news I’ve heard all year!
I only hope it lives up to the expectation…
The Cartoon Network, part of Warner Bros. are to bring back The Banana Splits for a series of comedy shorts in the US in September.
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky will also appear in a series of DVDs, live concerts, music CDs, and online games.
Jordan Sollitto, of Warner Bros. comments; “We take great pride in having carefully updated the look and feel of the original show for today’s kids while retaining all of the elements that made the original Banana Splits such a hit.”
For those younger readers (that makes me feel old saying that), The Banana Splits first appeared in 1968 as hosts of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, a show created by Hanna-Barbera that featured comedy and music videos.
A costumed rock band, they are comprised of Fleegle (dog), Drooper (lion), Bingo (gorilla) and Snorky (elephant) who hang out in their Banana Pad while playing music and telling jokes.
Here’s a short clip for your delictation:
