This is Eric, when he eats a banana.., 10 August 2002
Author: SHB_73 from Medford, MA.

Growing up in the 80's, I used to watch this cartoon which was so stupid I laughed every time it was on. I loved the begining and end theme songs so much that after the show I used to whistle it because I couldn't get it out of my head. Favorite quote: "This banana is loaded and I wont hesitate to use it". Funny cartoon.

Potassium Infusion, 5 October 1999

I was only ever given the chance to see Bananaman if an episode of Danger Mouse happen to run a few minute short... Nevertheless it is one of my favorite childhood TV experiences. The absurdities present throughout every situation and character and cell are simply a delight. It never tries to take itself seriously, but doesn't resort to the inane in its attempt to entertain. Bananaman is a quite little show that, as far as I know, doesn't have a single dissenting viewer... we all loved Bananaman... all of us.

Classic Zany British Concoction., 6 June 2003

"This is 29, Acacia Road. And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life. For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman."

Nostalgic cartoon from the 80's which I watched religiously for some reason, voiced by members of "The Goodies" (I've only just now discovered that!). The theme tune, the opening speech, the nutty one liners and the loveable but inept 'Bananaman'all bring back cool childhood telly memories.

Have a banana!, 9 August 2005
Author: In_Name_And_Blood from Gosford, Australia

Bananaman is a great show. I must've watched each episode half a dozen times (ABC had great afternoon kids shows, but not a whole lot of variety). The way he ate bananas was great, I just wish they'd do a crossover with 'Bananas in Pyjamas', but they might have to put it on later at night.

I always wondered what would happen if Eric ate an apple or a watermelon. At least they wouldn't be quite as suggestive as a banana. I mean it's bad enough dressing up like a fruit...but a banana!!?? All up, good show, wish they still made it, but I suppose then the networks would have to show one less of those Nickelodeon shows. Give me a sexually ambiguous, man-boy bananaman anyday!

Aaargh, it's worse than a rotten banana, 27 July 2006
3/10
Author: untilitsleeps from Finland

As I was watching the show I started thinking:" What is the target audience?" It was just so stupid that even kids wouldn't get anything from it. Bananaman is made extremely cheap, it's boring as hell, and full of stupid jokes that are just so stupid that I can't even describe it. And on top of that, almost all of the "funny" elements are ripped straight off old Disney cartoons. 3 points come from the fact that usually when something is really bad, it makes it just a little funny as it is. Well, bananaman is almost below that, and it deserves credit for it.

I feel sorry for the people who are behind this disaster, it must have been a career killer.
