There are only pirate copies floating around the net. After I posted this, a few people posted the entire series on youtube. When Turner Broadcasting goes after them, they'll go away.

Loved this show when I was a kid! Then we moved to a new town where school got out later & I never got home in time to watch it! Did they ever get off the island?!?

[crispycritterz]

@dukes0916 Sure they did. And they left Mu-Tan stranded there. Win all the way around.

These sequences were directed by no other than Richard Donner (director of Superman), who oddly enough had also directed three episodes of Gilligans Island in it's first season.

@GIRlovesWaffles That's one of the fun parts of watching some of the old shows. You see some familiar, sometimes now famous names early in their careers.

Please stick to discussing the video. There is a chat room for youtube. Launch your personal attacks there.

Get a multi-zone (worldwide) DVD player and get the R2 or R4 version of the Banana Splits show on DVD and find out if the heroes get off the island or not.

Uh-ohhhh... DRONGO!!!!

[Azaan1016]

loved this show also as a kid...now I look back and realized it was a showcase for stereotypes and buffoonery.

I feel dizzy now. And slightly nauseous.

You can watch all 36 parts of this show on the official Banana Splits season 1 DVD box set. I own this set and for the first time ever, I got to see all 36 parts the way it should be seen. I watched the Banana Splits as a kid in the late 1970's and the network always played the episodes out of sequence. The DVD is only available for R2 and R4 regions. I have the R2 region DVD and a multi-zone DVD player to play it on.

This was a cool show.

Is it on DVD yet?
