Thanks for looking.In 1967, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera approached Sid and Marty Krofft to design costumes for a television show which would feature animated and live-action segments, with the whole show hosted by a bubblegum rock group of anthropomorphic characters. The format of the show is loosely based on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and the characters appear on one episode of that show.[2] The Banana Splits Adventure Hour premiered on NBC on September 7, 1968.[1] In his autobiography, Barbera said that the show was to be called The Banana Bunch, but they could not get permission from the author of a children's book by that title. The Krofft brothers give credit to the success of the series for opening the door for their own entry into television, H.R. Pufnstuf. NBC picked up the Krofft series, which was launched during an hour-long special hosted by the Banana Splits on August 30, 1969.[1] The show's live-action segment Danger Island, a cliffhanger serial, as well as the short-lived Micro Ventures, a part-live action, part-animated[3] series consisting of only four episodes, run alongside the animated segments Arabian Knights and The Three Musketeers.[1] Actors Jan-Michael Vincent (billed as Michael Vincent) and Ronne Troup appeared in the live-action component Danger Island. All the live-action material filmed for the series' first season, including the Banana Splits and Danger Island segments, is directed by Richard Donner.[4]
