The Banana Splits
The Banana Splits is an American children's television variety show produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and featuring the Banana Splits, a fictional rock band composed of four costumed animal characters in red helmets with yellow crests. The costumed hosts are Fleegle (guitar, vocals), Bingo (drums, vocals), Drooper (bass, vocals), and Snorky (keyboards, effects).
The series ran for 31 episodes on NBC on Saturday mornings from September 7, 1968, to September 5, 1970, and in syndication from 1970 to 1982. The show features the Banana Splits band as live-action costumed characters, who host both live-action and animated segments within their program. The costumes were constructed by Sid and Marty Krofft from designs by Hanna-Barbera artists, and the series' sponsor was Kellogg's Cereals.
A feature-length comedy horror film adaptation, The Banana Splits Movie, premiered at San Diego Comic-Con on July 18, 2019, and was released worldwide on August 13, 2019.
