Trying to get a run-down of all the cartoons they had. So far I’ve got:
Secret Squirrel
Huck Finn
Hillbilly Bears
That Octopus one
Uhoh Chongo
Witchy Witch
Any others? I know there’s tons.
The Banana Splits obviously had … a peel! 
Here’s an interesting link about the show…

dont forget gullivers travels.
one more thing. this question has tortured me all my life.
did bob marley rip off the banana splits, or did the banana splits rip off bob marley?
thanking you…
There was one cartoon with a guy who would smack his wrists together and say “size of an (insert animal name here)” and then turn into that animal. I think it was called The Arabian Knights or something like that.
Also, Danger Island was called uhoh Chungo in the OP.
The Banana Splits! One of my earliest memories.
Fleagle, Bongo, Drooper and Snork!
Haj
errr, wasn’t that Bingo?
Hillbilly Bears were on the B/S’s? That’s where I remember them from!
What I want to know…Where do cannibal headhunters get cream pies? On Danger Island Every encounter with the skeleton men ended in a pie fight.
By the way, the octopus cartoon was…Squiddly Diddly.
Which sounds fairly indecent.
Wasn’t Precious Pup also on the show?
Moving this to Cafe Society.
“What time is it cuckoo?”.
OK, I’ll add The Three Musketeers and Micro-Venture.
Oh and (not a cartoon), but how about those Sour Grapes girls doing their Goldie-Hawn-in-Rowan-and-Martin’s-Laugh-In dance? Strangely sexual in a pre-pubescent way.
For those that don’t like the name of this forum, how about calling it Dear Drooper instead?
I always wondered what that strange head on the wall (with long hair and an animal muzzle) was. According to a stamp set my little brother had, it was “Banana Vac,” whatever that means.
When the BSAH was aired in the morning, years later, before he went to school each weekday, I would watch the end with him. I was watching Three Stooges shorts later in the day and I would sing over the closing theme:
One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Good cooks don’t peel bananas anymore!
Watch them drive into the wall and make a little bump,
Moe, Larry, Curly and Shump!
(forgive me, Shemp and all Stooge fans. :o )
“Banana Vac” was supposed to be a computer. The name was a wordplay on “Univac”–the name of the first supercomputer.
And (IMHO) the first season’s long-haired Snorky was way cooler than the second season’s short-haired version.
According to BobMarley.com, “Buffalo Soldier” was released in 1983 on the album Confrontation.. The Banana Splits theme was obviously written earlier, since the show debuted in 1968. I guess we should probably give Marley the benefit of the doubt and say that it was a case of “Now where have I heard this tune before? Ah well, I must have made it up. Mon.”
Here’s a little bit more on the theme song:

Did Snork have a face-lift midway through the series? I seem to recall his physical appearnce changing at some point.
