I remember that! Didn't they used to live in some kind of psychodelic double decker bus thingy? Or am I confusing?

Oh, I'm old enough!
The show even inspired a poem I wrote in gradeschool ...

The Banana Splits

The banana splits,
the boy spits.
The boy is bad,
the banana is glad.

Did they film at King's Island? Seems it would have been before that was built though ... I know The Brady Bunch filmed there once ... or maybe The Partridge Family ...

hmmm ... maybe I'm just hallucinating ...
nevermind

I remember 'em!! One of my favorite Saturday morning shows when I was a li'l nipper. Me, my brother and all our friends had great fun doing nearly everything the "Banana Split" way, which usually meant some very difficult, senseless way.

It was. KI opened in '72. Most of the Cincinnati footage was shot at Coney Island. They also filmed at Six Flags Over Texas.

"Anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down and kill all four of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills each one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives, except Fleegle."
