This is a great group photo of the cast of Danger Island. That was a live-action adventure show from the 1960s made by Hanna-Barbera. It was part of a bigger show called The Banana Splits Adventure Hour. There were 36 different chapters that all amassed into a six-hour story. Each segment ended in a cliffhanger, so audiences always wanted to know what was going to happen next.
The Banana Splits Adventure Hour was a variety filled with different animated and live segments, hosted by the Banana Splits. Variety shows have generally gone out of style, but they can be a lot of fun. Plus, they are great avenues to introduce audiences to new shows and characters. If everyone likes the ten minute version of a show, there is a good chance they will like a full hour version.
