Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
naseby Whilst I know this is an American show, like many Americans, we here, in the UK saw it on our screens and everyone I knew enjoyed it. Combining the mad action of the 'boys' (Is that what I could call 'em?) with the okay-cartoons (Yes they weren't necessarily any different from the churned-out Hanna-Barbera type of stuff, but still enjoyable)this was a good combination that worked.One of my favourite skits, was the little girl who kept singing 'Ta-ra boom de ayyy!', much to the annoyance of the boys, they then tried to keep her out, but she kept on popping up and singing the same tune to annoy them further. Personally, although the cartoons were okay, I looked forward to the time when the boys showed their faces and were up to their usual craziness. I have really missed this and although the cartoons wouldn't make us bat an eyelid now, the antics of the boys would always have me glued to the screen if they came back!
jonesy74-1 This was basically, "The Monkees" for kids with cartoons and a weekly serial tossed in for fun. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was an obvious influence as well with the pop-art sets, patterns and color schemes. Paul Winchell's voice (Jerry Mahoney and Mortimer Snurd - a popular Ventriloquist/Dummy act of the time) as Fleagle was fun. Winchell was also the voice of "Tigger" from Disney's "Winnie the Pooh" and many other cartoon voices, including the leader of the "Anthill Mob" in "The Adventures of Penelope Pitstop." Daws Butler's voice (Huckleberry Hound and many others) as Bingo was great too.I had to see reruns of this show to remember it was Jan Michael Vincent's t.v. debut in the "Danger Island" segment."Chongo" (Uh Oh) got a little irritating with his constant bird sounds in place of real language.The cartoons were fun - Three Musketeers and Arabian Nights.It was an obvious Hannah-Barbera effort.Lots of fun for kids. Teens too.GREAT theme song (La la la, la la la la)!
btdroflet38 Never mind the characters, or the animation....it was the songs that stayed in the memory even as sketchy as mine. Someone mentioned a song called 'Wait Til Tomorrow' and i thought it was the best of the bunch (no pun indeed LOL). Who sang it - and does he still perform to the present day? If he does, he must be in his early fifties by now.Okay, i changed my mind - loved the cartoons (Arabian Knights were like Shazzan, but what the heck? the action sequences were cool!) Danger Island kinda grated on me because the scripting was so bad, but the location scenes on the island were above par and heaps better than the similarly-named "Mystery Island" live-action show years later.Brian T.
akpolar I remember this show and mickey mouse club the original. I loved these shows as far as banana splits I really remember tom sawyer but all these. they weren't violent they were awesome and i so want to share these and grape ape and land of the lost and the show w/ ruth buzzy and jim neighbors with my kids. these cartoons now stink and aren't appropriate for my kids please bring these awesome well loved appropriate totally rad cartoons back for this new generation I believe these shows helped define me as a good loving person.
