WOW. I totally remember that.

No wonder that years later, psychedelics seemed familiar...

Rain-Monkey: WOW. I totally remember that.

That, and The Archies. Everything was sooo groovy back then.

The drummer kind of looks like Mickey Dolenz.

I tried to describe this show once to somebody who had never seen it. He thought I was making it up.

If I think really really hard about it, I think my earliest childhood television memory was watching this show.

That, and the closing credits to Sesame Steeet - Funky Chimes

I'm a firm believer that your first pleasurable exposure to something uses that something as a standard for the rest of your life. It's no wonder, then, that Sesame Steet's Funky Chimes would declare, for me, an early predilection for funk, soul and all variant forms of groove-based music.

At least, that's my theory.

Woo hoo, Banana Splits thread! Loved them as a tiny kid.

And their theme song translated so well to punk (new window)

/la la la, la-la-la-la

Fark, let's try that again:

The Banana Splits are on everyday in Canada on Teletoon Retro.

I loved this show when I was a kid.

I adored this stupid show - particularly Precious Pup, Atom Ant, and that Three Musketeers cartoon.

I'd always wander off during the Tom Sawyer segments. Yawn.

Mezmerizing, what a blast from the past. Seems like a lifetime ago that I used to watch that. Oh, it was.

Wow, this SHMHC is pretty weak.

Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky went hunting? Brasky decides he's going to hunt down all four of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives...except Fleegle.

Weren't certain segments of this underrated show filmed at the same amusement park where one of the Brady daughters lost her stepdad's work papers?

 
LarrytheBlueOkie 2009-11-01 01:05:02 PM  
Now that I have come out of my seizure from viewing this, I believe I will now drop some acid and watch it again.

Sid and Marty Krofft must have been doing all the drugs that Jerry Garcia didn't get a hold of. Al Kooper, Berry White, and Gene Pitney all wrote for the Banana Splits. Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky rocked. At the SF Fillmore we still watch them on DVD (bootleg of course).

/Banana Splits are better then your favorite band.
//Really.

Thanks for the clip! I loved the funky chimes when I was little.

I thought the drummer looked like Laurence Fishburne.

I never watched the Banana Splits, but I think I just realized where WSAZ got it's Beeper costume for the old Mr. Cartoon show.

I believe the show was filmed at 6 Flags Mid-America. 6 Flags Over Texas had the same rides and some claim it was filmed there, but the backgrounds in the show were wrong.

The show sucked, as did The Monkeys and all the Sid & Marty Krapp shows of the era. Give me Gilligan, Flintstones and Jetsons any day.

I so wanted one of those when I was a kid.

/la, la, la...la, la, la, la

Do yourselves a favor and just watch the Banana Splits for an hour and a half instead of wasting $10 on that shiatstorm emofest, Where the Wild Things Are.

Or as I like to call it, "Where the Kids that Need an Ass Whooping Are"

i have their album on vinyl do you think it's worth anything?

eriphila: i have their album on vinyl do you think it's worth anything?

I wouldn't mind if you made an MP3 of this album and posted it somewhere.

/loved the Splits when I was a kid, I wanted to ride that kewl slide ride that Snorky kept trying to walk back up.
//AND a Banana Buggie!

IMdB is your friend.

Banana Splits filming locations (for the show) (new window)

and
Brady Bunch filming locations (for that one episode) (new window)

If you follow the link for King's Island in the Brady Bunch link, you'll see the Banana Splits *did* film there, but for some Super Movie or other, not the regular show.

my "alternative" band from the 90's did a punk version of "I Enjoy Being A Boy". Good times indeed.

Yeah... can't find a listing for the movie (or extra long episode, or whatever it was), but I remember seeing it when it aired. It had some weird plot line (of course) about them getting stuck in a magical billboard, or something.

I'd be curious to see it again.

farkilada: Banana Buggies!

A buddy of mine had a "Banana Buggy" {1/1 scale}. I always wanted a Drooper costume to ride around in it.

They still show this frequently on Boomerang.
