The Sour Grapes
From Puppet Wikia, the puppet encyclopedia
The Sour Grapes are a group of human girl characters from the Banana Splits. One of the members of the club - Charley, usually played by Shirley Hillstrom - would bring a written note to the Splits.
None of the Sour Grapes spoke in the entire series, however, they would also do a number with the Banana Splits in the first season episode on October 5, 1968 titled "Doin' The Banana Split" as all five girls appeared together with the Splits.
The other members of the Sour Grapes were played by Debra Thibodeaux, Colette Chenault, Julie Graham and Kathy O'Dare. Their dance instructor/choreographer was Byron Gilliam. As illustrated in the picture to the right, the Sour Grapes wore a purple mini-dress with a large patch on the back carrying an illustration of a bunch of grapes and their name ("SOUR GRAPES") split between the grapes with pink leotards and tights and a pair of black gogo boots.
