''The Banana Splits'' was syndicated in 1970 to local stations, reformatted as a half-hour show under the title ''The Banana Splits and Friends Show''. The Banana Splits formed a framework for episodes from three of Hanna-Barbera's animated series (''The Atom Ant Show'', '' The Secret Squirrel Show'', and ''The Adventures of Gulliver'') and the live-action ''The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn''. All the original ''Banana Splits'' episodes were included in this package, with Paul Winchell providing new, spoken introductions for the added components in the series.
