'''''[[The Banana Splits Adventure Hour''']]'' was a Saturday morning series from [[Hanna-Barbera]] shown on [[NBC]] in the late 1960s. Live actors in full-body costumes portrayed Fleegle the dog (voiced by [[Paul Winchell]]), Drooper the lion (voiced by Allan Melvin), Bingo the gorilla (voiced by [[Daws Butler]]) and Snorky the elephant. [[Sid and Marty Krofft Productions]] designed the Banana Splits' character costumes.
 
The foursome did comedy sketches, performed songs and introduced the following action segments:
Line 14:
* ''Danger Island'': This was the serialized live-action segment, set on and around a Pacific island. Memorable for the [[Catch Phrase]], "Uh-oh, Chongo!". Directed by future-Goonie [[Richard Donner]].
 
After the Banana Splits became popular, Hanna-Barbera tried to duplicate its success in 1977: ''[[Skatebirds]]'' on [[CBS]]. (Some sources had 1969's ''[[The Cattanooga Cats]]'' on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] as live/animated with the Cats live costumes, but it was all animated.) When ''The Banana Splits'' was shown in broadcast syndication, and later on [[TBS]], the following series were added to the package:
* ''[[The Atom Ant Show]] and [[Secret Squirrel]]''
* ''The Adventures of Gulliver''
