Season #1 is out on DVD for R2 and R4 regions. All 36 30-minute episodes on the disc. I own this DVD and I loved this show in the 1970's when it aired on TV. So glad to be able to watch it on DVD.
@mistofoles Theres an album that was put out with this and other songs from the show including the shows opening and closing themes. I got the record as a kid from my grandmother ,, One of thoes things as a kid you dont think about keeping it let alone keeping it in decent shape. So I dont know whatever happened to it but this song was on the record. If I find it at my moms house ill look who the singer was. The album comes up on ebay from time to time.
San Francisco in the 60s was a fun city. Looking at all the things that were fab there in this is wild. Love that 1968 Chevrolet Impala Convertable crossing the Golden Gate
The guys had two sets of costumes, the ones they wore in the studio and then ones they wore for location shooting. The ones they wore for exeterior shooting were made from much lighter materials,but even so they were stiflling hot, so special "cool packs" were built into them. However, these weren't in use for very long, as they were quite fragile, and released dangerous chemicals if damaged!
You know that bit where the guys are driving over the Golden Gate Bridge? When they reached the other side (out of shot) they were pulled by a cop who didn't realise they were just actors filming a show!
i still have the album . . it was actually the very first album i ever got when i was a kid . it's great see the vids for the songs again . thanks for posting
I remember seeing this vid on the show in 1968 when I was just 16. all the years went by until now, and I happened to search for it on You Tube and there it was..amazing...kind of weird looking at it again after 41 years, am I immortal I wonder.
Agree with you. First heard this when I was about 5 years old and never saw the snow again for decades. Years later when I was about 15 - was in an oldie record shop. A guy was auditioning records and he put this one on. I just about leaped across the browsers! (I literally scared the guy away from buying it-I was so vocal about it). I had no idea it had been released as a single. So wish they'd put it out on CD in some proper form.
I was channel-surfing late one night back in the early nineties and there it was--my jaw dropped! All of a sudden it was Saturday morning and I was 9 years old again! From that moment I made a determined search for "Wait 'Til Tomorrow"... and finally found it in the music dept. of a Border's book store in downtown Chicago. FYI: If it's just this song you're looking for, Amazon has the CD I bought at Borders (25 All-Time Greatest Bubblegum Hits--Various Artists for 13.99). Cheers!
I sooo remember this song as a kid!!! I always new the songs title and chorus even at 39!!! Thanks 4 posting WLFD tv channel 32 Chicago!!! Mellodee123
any one know the names of the studio singers that sang for the characters? Just as it was David Mook that wrote and sang the Scooby-doo where are you opening theme song -first season, correct?
Peripheral vision in those suits must be close to zero, so when Fleegle hops out into traffic at 0:35, he is demonstrating either great faith in the drivers of San Fransisco or in the cushioning power of foam rubber.
Be careful not to develop a chauvinism against modern kid culture, Peter (as have so many who comment on Banana Splits clips). The great think about childhood is that it transforms mediocrity into magic, no matter what era one grows up in. I try to always remember that there's an entire generation that feels as strongly about Britney as I do about the Splits, and make an effort to see modern stuff through their perspective. Keeps me from becoming a curmudgeon too soon.
I "discovered" this tune on the reruns of the banana splits two days ago. It puts me in mind of what a duet between the turtles and the moody blues in 1968 might have sounded like. unbelievably catchy. The fact that you uploaded the SF version is especially apropos. Is this song on I-tunes?
The Splits only done 1 album - go to a website called toon tracker - where all lost toons end up the whole album is there to listen to or download individual trax
This is why YOUTUBE is so awesome because great people like kiwimike1 post great videos like this one!!!..this is a vintage 1969 music clip...The year I started kindergarden.I loved the Banana Splits!Great job kiwimike1!!!!!
Filmed in San Francisco, California. The Golden Gate Bridge, California Street, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, Coit Tower, and The Omnibus. I was born and raised in this fine city.

Must have been cool to have been able to watch this being filmed back then. Well, cool and a trifle weird.
