As a follow-up to yesterday’s invisible friends entry, I was poking around the tv listings in the TiVo and decided to record The Banana Splits. Guess who is now watching it for the 2nd time this morning? The splits themselves get a big thumbs up, the Arabian Nights cartoon somewhat of a thumbs up (hey, it involved flying water casks and a magic donkey, what more do you want?). But he didn’t like Danger Island (uh oh, Chango!) which is probably because that’s serialized, you jump right into the middle of a story, and the story was the guys all being captured by the skeleton people, who looked a little scary. I just might have to grab a few more episodes for him…it’s a good way to form the boy in my own image, eh?
