We begin Nickelodeon 1985 with Bananaman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananaman_(TV_series)), a silly superhero cartoon (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/Bananaman) Nick picked up to fill a hole in certain episodes of Danger Mouse. We discover it's origins in British comic books (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananaman), the tiny studio that made it, and the merchandise trends that fueled it. Also, the history of Viacom and their purchase of Nickelodeon!

It's Bananaman time, Here is your full dose of potassium. Join me, Old Ashley as I delve into the history of Bananaman. We will learn all about his time in Nutty, His move to dandy and see how things are going in his final resting place the Beano. I'll also take some time to talk about the Bananaman cartoon as well as his annuals. It's a lot but don't worry I still remembered to crowbar in the obligatory Hoot references
