The Banana Splits were a musical quartet, based roughly on The Beatles or Monkees.  They were Drooper a Lion, Bingo a Gorilla, Snorky an Elephant and Fleegle a Beagle.  Fleegle was usually in charge.

They travelled around in crazy beach buggy/quad bike type vehicles.

The show had sections of the Banana Splits singing and humour mixed with animated sections such as The Arabian Knights and The Three Musketeers.

Their arch enemy gang were The Sour Grape Bunch - they were young girls who danced messages at their door.

Snorky did not talk at all - he made a honking sound and the others told us what he meant.
