Subject: Does anyone remember...

Written By: jenx on 07/07/04 at 3:49 pm

I am trying to determine if I am remembering an ACTUAL show, or if I dreamed it.  I think it was on Saturday mornings.  It was live action, the characters were all teens and I think the were a detective agency, or something, kinda like the Monkees, only there were also girls that were regulars.  Anyway, they were always solving crimes and stuff (and NO, it wasn't Scooby Doo).  What I remember most are two things:  1.  There was a lot of music, and 2.  one of the regular characters would go crazy and run around if anyone ever said the word "banana" or "bananas".  This would have been on in the late 70's??  Was this really a show or am I crazy?  Thanks!

The Banana Splits. What a disapointment. I remember when I was a kid and how the network plugged their new Saturday morning show every chance they got. They even had a full pre-show on the Friday night before its first Saturday morning showing. What a let down. "I'll stick with Jonny Quest" I thought. I also remember the song "More Today Than Yesterday" by Spiral Starecase being popular at the time, so the BS pre-show and that song are forever "linked" together in my brain.

:) ;D

The Bugaloos were bugs, they had wings and antenna (or however you spell it).  I don't know if they solved mysteries.  There was one girl, three guys, and a bee-fire fly kind of bug.

It was The Kids From C.A.P.E.R..  They had  a character that would go nuts when you said the word Banana.  He would freak and gain super strength.  NBC saturday morning show.
