Going Bananas is an American live-action fantasy comedy TV series produced Hanna-Barbera for NBC's Saturday morning children's programming. It ran in 1984, airing 12 episodes.

The Cole family takes in an orangutan (named Roxanna Banana) who lived at the zoo. Simple enough, right? WRONG. Roxanna also inexplicably gets hit by a UFO's ray in broad daylight, endowing her with superpowers.
