I used to love this show when I was a kid - we had it in England. I never liked the 'Monkey' carachter with the glasses (cos it looked like one of my Aunts we couldn't bear to meet) and I wasn't sure of the 'Snort' elephant carachter. but that little girl that did the go go dance delivering the mail was ace. Anyone know who she was?
That's funny, I don't remember seeing these BANANA SPLITS segments when went into syndication. I don't remember seeing Super Drooper or Goofy Gopher. Did the second season of the SPLITS not go into syndication. I only remember seeing the BANANA SPLIS as a half hour show.
The reason you don't remember these Season 2 segments is because they were not shown in the syndicated reruns. The syndicated half-hours were cut down from the original one-hour shows, but only the first season shows were represented. The one-hour shows do exist (at least from Season 1) and hopefully will be out on DVD some day.
To answer heine71...yes, it seems probable that the Season 2 costumes were used again in "Hocus Pocus Park" (which was produced three years later) although I know they had multiple sets of costumes and the characters did appear for years afterward at Kings Island in Cincinatti, where "Hocus" was filmed. BTW...note the stock footage of Super Drooper being chased by the train (filmed at Coney Island). Part of the footage from that shoot was also used in the Season 2 opening titles.
Thanks again to Uncle Cathode for making this stuff available! Here we have a "Goofy Gopher" (voice of Paul Winchell) segment (though in this one, Fleegle calls him "Gopher Goofy." Then we have "Banana Vac Gag" BV #16 ("Ticklish Tomcat") (Banana Vac is the guy on the wall who looks like a mounted moose head, voiced by Allan Melvin) followed by "Fan Letters To Super Drooper" FLSD #1 ("More Powerful Than A Locomotive").
@matchgame35 seems to me, that while they "were" H/B characters, did they become W/B ownership when W/B purchased H/B characters or are they the property of Ted Turner/Cartoon Network? couldn't they had taken these costumes from storrage & use them instead of failing at making NEW costumes?
I wonder, did Hanna-Barbera even used the same costumes with moving mouths for the live action parts in the 1972 ABC Saturday Superstar Movie "The Banana Splits in Hocus-Pocus Park"?
Was it Ted Cassidy?
