Name this Show!

What was the children's show on USA network in the late '80s where the people were always sliding on a huge slide? I think there may have been a furry animal sidekick. Any ideas?

Hmm . . . That might be it. Thanks! Odd that I would remember a roller coaster as a slide . . . but who knows!

I doubt that's it, TGSC was on more than a decade before the late 80s.

Really? IMDB lists it as '81 to '86.

There have been some VHS releases of Great Space Coaster. Now if we could only get them on DVD...

Banana Splits -- was a 70s show, but USA may have had reruns

Opening (or closing) credits showed the main characters hoing down one of those bix yellow slides you used to see at carnivals
