We take a look at another outdoorsy show from 1990 (technically, I know most think of it as a 1991 show), a year full of outdoorsy shows. We look at how it pushed boundaries, where it probably shouldn't have, and its unfair ending.

Sorry for misspeaking, Kirk Bailey obviously died in 2022, not 2002.
Thanks, I was confused about that one. I thought he had died pretty recently and then assumed he was a different actor.
No biggie it’s still tragic
I can't watch this.. ur absolutely right about everything.. and I'm old now and I loved these days 😅 the good days
"obviously"
This is still one of my favorite and most cherished Nick shows. As a 1981 born kid, all the first scripted Nick shows are my wheel house, as I was 9-12
Is been a year since Kirk “Ug Lee” Baily died of lung cancer and we still hold him in our hearts forever ❤
Think Anawanna-wanna, speak Anawanna-wanna..
Live Anawanna-wanna! Ugh!
I noticed "Anawanna" is a play on "I Don't Wanna".
@@mattm7798 Next to Budnick, Ug is my other favorite character on the show.
Man it breaks my heart to see these scenes of Kirk Bailey and Christine Cavanugh. They were perfect together. 😢 RIP to both ❤❤
I'm 37 years old now and I haven't seen Salute Your Shorts since Nickelodeon stopped airing it regularly, I still remembered every word to the theme song especially all the goofy awkwardness from the kids and Ugg.
Hey fellow 85 dude. But yeah I wish I was a touch older when I watched this show because a lot of the interpersonal drama between the characters sailed over my elementary school head.
Oh well, there's always DVDs and their virtual equivalent.
“I don’t like this new guy, he’s athletic and popular”
Lmfao
This show was always one of my favorites, I was oblivious to the fact that it had been in reruns for years before I ever saw it. Thank you as always for the amazing work you do.
I think you need a life.
We all grew up with Christine Cavanaugh's voice.
Mona Tibbs, Gosalyn Mallard, Kevin Generic, Bunnie Rabbot, Dexter McPherson, Marty Sherman, Babe the Pig, Oblina, Wizzer & Dumpling Dalmatian, Chuckie Finster.
I regularly quote "get it right or PAY THE PRICE" constantly and no one knows what I mean ever.
😂 not always but pretty often 🤙
I do that too… Get it right or pay the price and nobody I mean absolutely nobody understands where that’s from. They just look at me weird.
"One-two, cha cha cha!
Three-four cha cha cha!"
Core memory unlocked
Nickelodeon's first cuss wasn't on SYS, it was a Dana Carvey special that got cut up for Turkey TV: he tells a story about his dad being too cheap to buy Halloween costumes etc, and instead of fireworks on New Year's he would shine a flashlight in the kids' faces and yell "just as good, dammit!" I remember it because my mom made us change the channel
I think he meant from an actual in-house Nickelodeon production
Don't forget the "damn" in the infamous You Can't Do That On Television Adoption episode.
@@SpongeyTheEditor "Damn" was also said by Barth in several sketches during the Safety episode from 1981 and first aired on Nick in early 1982. Those two scenes would eventually be edited out when Nick became ad-supported in late 1983.
There was a hilarious "Damn" in one of the Fairy Tale cartoons as well. I think it was Cinderella, unless my 30 year old memory failed me.
I love that almost everything to do with Turkey Television is someone's hazy memory
A very fitting retrospective for the series, Pop Arena. Salute Your Shorts is one of those special shows sitting in the back of countless 90s kids' minds simmering in nostalgia because deep down, many of us desired to be at Camp Anawanna with the characters who we've gotten to know well enough to consider as TV friends. This is one show I would've wanted to witness as an older kid back in 1991, rather than a younger one who caught most of it in reruns, rather than the original airings.
Seeing the beginning of the Golden Era of Nick being covered on your channel is very exciting, knowing the slew of heavy-hitters awaiting us on the horizon. Thank you for the continued hard work and dedication you have to preserving Nick history. We've only been doing it for under two years ourselves, but you must have an iron will do be doing this as long as you have on this channel. Our hats off to you!
Hey Splat Attack! Love your podcast. The production, the guests, the content, everything is triple S for splatceptional. Thank you for all that you do.
@@atariblue That means a lot to us, Seth. Thank you for your support! You even know our Splat Attack rating scale! Haha love it.
I used to watch this show all the time as a kid. Brings back so many good memories. My two favorite episodes were the Treasure of Sara Madre and Zeek the Plumber.
@Dick Handy And you sound like an insensitive troll who gets their kicks off of starting trouble with others in youtube comments. Back under your bridge you go, you pariah!
This show and Pete & Pete captured early 90s childhood in a bottle.
@@mattm7798 That reminds me of this article on AVClub by Erik Adams from 2016 called "Nickelodeon grew up and blew up in 1996". He makes note of how the series finale of Pete & Pete from late December 1995, really symbolized the end of an era for Nickelodeon. Going forward, Nick started to make the shift into making a lot more straight-down-the-middle, mainstream programs.
I find it interesting how Nickelodeon's earliest two sitcoms, Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts, sitcoms which are fairly well known when it comes to Nickelodeon nostalgia, were single-camera sitcoms with no laugh track, considering that today, the Nickelodeon sitcom is synonymous with multi-camera sitcoms which utilize a laugh track of some sort.
Also when you consider laugh tracks were the norm on network television at the time and remained so up until Malcolm in the Middle debuted.
And it's weird this UA-camr felt like putting protect trans kids before the episode.
Also they were shot on tape instead of film.
I can't stand laugh tracks. Authentic shows don't need a crutch
Plus they were mainly shot outdoors, set during the summer, and both had a group of kids ganging up on the one stuffy adult.
David Lynch's Salute Your Shorts was not something I knew I needed in my life.
Nor did I know that David Fincher was behind this show.
@@VahanNisanian I don't think he was behind the show. He worked for/with the same production company that made it. They primarily made music videos, and Fincher started as a music video director.
Nickelodeon got very Lynchian with Pete & Pete. Can't wait for that Nick Knacks. I can only imagine it'll be a very long one, like YCDTOT and Double Dare. Still one of my favorite TV shows ever.
I've been waiting for this one. Salute your Shorts was a childhood favorite of mine. I remember many a weekend afternoon in the 90s watching it with my parents in our living room. All time classic.
One factor we can't overlook when discussing Danny Cooksey's voice acting career is his role as Jack Spicer in Xiaolin Showdown.
I believe he was active as a voice actor at least couple years before this series. I remember him being in a couple late 80's H-B cartoons, The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley for one.
@@mightyfilm I think he was the neighbor's kid brother, now that you mention it?
It’s a shame Christine Cavanaugh didn’t get more live action character work. She was definitely memorable on this show and she and Kirk Bailey worked really well off of each other. It’s a shame they both are gone too soon.
@Super Fruity She probably couldn’t be considered a household name, no. But what does that have to do with anything I said?
Did I see right that she was only in two episodes? What an amazing job to be such a large part of my memory of this show!
Ay! Pepper Ann reference! Fun little fact: the pilot for Pepper Ann was originally done for Nickelodeon under Linda Simensky.
I didn't watch this show much at all, remembered nothing, and I found this a fascinating retrospective. Thanks for continuing to make high-quality content!
Oh boy you haven't lived dude😊
"Danny would kick these kids' asses!"
He would *not.* Danny was a good boy, he doesn't beat up on little kids. He'd give them a lecture.
He’d throw hay them & take away all the possessions made my Native Americans.. except underwear lol
he'd verbally kick their asses
I feel the need to mention that Danny Cooksey also voiced another character from an underrated show that would be lost media if it weren't for Internet archivists: Dave the Barbarian.
Wow I didn’t know that!
Would you believe after this show, I actually *begged* my mom to send me to summer camp? She finally did after 5th grade. No regrets.
Every episode is the kids hating on some aspect of the camp.
I tried too but summer camp was too expensive for my parents.
Despite not seeing the show for over two decades, I still remember the entire scene about the radio trivia contest with Ug giving a monologue about giraffes having a purple tongue. Really wish Paramount would put every episode up; it's the same thing with the other vintage Nick shows. Tempting to assume it's some kind of financial "If we use fewer than X episodes, it'll count as a best of and not a full season and get to barely pay royalties".
I think he said the tongue was black. Or blue. (Whatever, they're all correct). I also remember the DJ taunting Sponge in the lead-up to the contest:
"I might ask you how many hairs are on Hulk Hogan's face, or how many potato chips are in an average bag."
Nah Danny the type to politely school them lmao
When you described Ugg as a "goofy authority figure" I immediately thought of Spencer from iCarly. Funny how archetypes in Nick sitcoms evolved over time
"Salute your shorts" feels like the first show that could've only been made at nickelodeon. Like I could see "Hey Dude" or "Clarissa explains it all" on Disney.
Did Disney have anything like this in '91? (It was still a premium channel at this point, I believe, and we generally didn't have it.)
@@pronkb000 you're right, maybe Disney wasn't the greatest example. I was more saying I could see them on a different kids/family programming block, like TGIF or something.
They have Bunked
This was my favorite show growing up. Heidi Lucas was my first crush. I got to interview and speak with Trevor a number of times.
Do you have chicken fingers? It’s a good thing cause you’d need a lot of handcream.😂😂😂😂😂 the look on her face is still as funny as it was the first I seen that episode.
I just came across this channel (Poparena, not Nickelodeon) not even a month ago. I was born in 1981 and it is easily becoming one of my favorite channels.
I used to think that they were saying “but the thing that last forever, is our ‘good friend chip.’”😂 I was seven, lol🤷♀️
I vaguely remember watching this show a few times when it was on Nick GAS. But there's something about camp themed episodes & shows that makes me feel nostalgic and relate back to my fun experiences going to summer camp when I was a kid.
Blake Sennett was actually in a recent episode of the Pod Meets World podcast (the Feb 6 2023 ep fyi) and clarifies he's put music on hold and has gone into real estate. Worth a listen for anyone curious.
Can't wait for the history of Nickelodeon Studios episode. Glad that I helped find the full 3-hour grand opening special. You're welcome!
I thought that the reason Salute Your Shorts ended was because Nickelodeon wanted SYS to move to Orlando from Los Angeles. Now I know the real reason. Nickelodeon should've given the actors pay increases because it was a hit that could've lasted 2 or 3 more seasons.
Didn't many Nickelodeon shows usually end because of the kids aging out their roles?
I never until now, heard about the actors wanting pay increases being the reason why SYS ended after only two seasons. I did read that MTV Networks, who was the parent company at Nickelodeon at the time, wanted to use their money towards their newest show at the time, Beavis and Butt-head. This is according to Tim Eyster (Sponge) so take that with a grain of salt.
@@VahanNisanian Blake Soper, Michael Bower, and Danny Cooksey were 19, 17, and 17 respectively during the show's second season. So in that regard, they now looked old enough to be camp counselors much less campers.
Over 30 years later, I finally realized that "Sarah Madre" was a play on the old film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
This is a very thorough breakdown of my favorite Nickelodeon childhood show! 🙂
In 1990 I was only 8 years old, but this show is still special to me.
I didn't know that Ug died 😢 R.I.P. Kirk Baily
I loved Salute your Shorts, the episodes that always stood out most the me were the Radio Contest, and the Beach trip where they stay in the nurses office trying to get the ice cream. It deserved more seasons.
I'd give an arm and a leg for a third. *Sigh* One of those moments where a time machine would help. Both of those episodes are great picks - favorites among mine as well.
Those two episodes always stick out for me too. It's Ug with the answer and the puzzle from the beach trip episode that I seem to remember in detail.
I'm still shocked at how common summer camp experiences were for kids. They always felt fairly bougie
Certainly was in The Parent Trap.
Right I never knew anyone who went to summer camp
I think they probably were more affordable up until the 90s/00s, but there's also a lot fewer camps now than there used to be too, so now there's a cost for exclusivity. There used be a camp up where my parents live that would bus kids in every summer from I think Boston.
13:20-13:51 - One of Christine Cavanaugh‘s rare onscreen appearances.
Yay, a video about Salute Your Shorts!
I remember the episode that Ug got a girlfriend. I remember thinking it was cool to see the lady that voiced Chucky from Rugrats and Gosalyn from Darkwing Duck in person.
Christine Cavanaugh's story is very strange as well as sad. She abrputly retired from acting in 2001 and lived the remainer of her days as a virtual recluse. And then, she dies at the still very young age of 51.
@@TMC1982Part2 Awe, that’s sad to hear.
Wow, Salute Your Shorts was one of the first shows I really remember watching vividly. So many great memories! The use of “Fart” on a kids show felt so edgy to me growing up. My Mom always disapproved of me using the word. My favorite episode is when Budnick and Michael fake being sick so they don’t have to go on the beach trip. They stay behind and dress up in tin foil so they can get reception on the TV.
And I will never forget the fact that they actually made a condom joke in the show. They are on a trip and Donkey Lips makes a pit stop to use an outhouse. When he comes out, he says that there was a machine on the wall that sold balloons. Can’t figure out how that one got passed the censors.
So many great memories watching this show! Thanks for uploading this, I am loving all your episodes!
Does anybody now why Erik MacArthur (Michael) left the series after the first season?
I was wondering that, too. Maybe we'll find out the answer to that in a "footnotes video" one day.
Oh man, I thought I imagined hearing "pissed" on an episode of this show. Thanks for unlocking that core memory.
wow seeing Donkeylips actor going on that "CaNt SaY MerRy cHrisTmaS aNymOrE CaUse CaNceL cULTuRe" rant was a bummer
I just shook my head at how hacky it was. That kind of joke (without the specific "cancelled" terminology) is 30 years old or more at this point.
Still to this day, I chant to myself "Knees High, youre a winner!" when I need motivation. Hahaha
The Budnick loves Dena/Dena loves Budnick episode was good. But the follow up episode didn't have a continuation of the previous episode. ZZ liking Budnick, everyone breaking their leg....
Had such a childhood crush on Heidi Lucas & eventually Megan Berwick too.
Yeah it wouldn’t be fair to the other actors to focus on a romance too much.
It’s hard to imagine Nickelodeon just gave us two seasons of this show!! It felt like they could have made double & had that much more fan base to tune in!!! They could technically run it the same if the camp is in a remote location that didn’t have service too
pay the price 💰💰💰
man seeing that bee-suit is funny, my friends and I built one after seeing it in the show. Except ours was made of carpet squares that we taped together. it took us like 2 weeks to build it but then nobody had the fortitude to wear it 😅
Kirk Bailey played Seven of Nine's dad on Star Trek Voyager!
Dan Cooksey used to live in Oklahoma.
I never knew that until 3 years ago when I was curious about where they are up to these days.
I was roughly the age of these kids and went to camp a couple times and not for nothing, the disrespectful appropriation of native culture is very authentic to my own camp experience. I remember my Italian friend's father at a boy scout camp putting on a headdress and war paint and talking in a Tonto-like stilted delivery after drinking "bug juice" and exclaiming "puts hair on chest!"
Have you seen the documentary "Reel Injun"? There's a whole section devoted to (rightfully) making fun of a very white summer camp (forget the name) that appropriates native culture in this really gross and inaccurate way, based more on dated Hollywood clichés than actual native practices and customs.
@@bigredjanie never seen it! gonna look it up now! :)
I knew Salute Your Shorts only had 26-episodes before this video, but that fact will never feel wrong to me.
It’s sad to learn there could have been more if Nickelodeon wasn’t cheap and gave the actors a raise
Hey Dude was practically long running by comparison!
@@ragnakakI really don't think anyone was raking in too much money from Nick in '91. It sucks the kids didn't get more.. but it is entirely possible that the money just wasn't there yet.
@@h0nkyJ late 80s to very early 90s Nick was when the foundation of the network was rooted, but it wouldn't be until the mid 90s where the network financially blossomed fully.
To be honest, if Nick had the almost magical foresight to hold off on the game shows until like 1994 and later, they could have made some amazing sets and furnished some damn amazing prizes. Imagine the grand prize of say Family Double Dare '95 being a full launch Sony Playstation playset (aka console, 2 controllers, and all the launch games)?
Hey dude
I keep expecting Jason Voorhees to show up at camp.
I loved the use of classical music. I think Tchaikovsky’s March Slav had to have been Ug’s theme song lol 😂
Wow, being the target demographic for this at the time, coming back to it is a trip
I can’t wait for The Muppets on Nickelodeon!❤️📺🎶👍🏻
And "You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown."
@@simplyjuannie5128 Yes, I totally remember watching You’re on Nickelodeon Charlie Brown!
I use to watch this when i was 10 years old along with Wild & Crazy back like 33 years ago i just turn 43
David Lynch even could have made Doug interesting.
I had forgotten that Sponge used the phrase "pissed off." I had recorded that episode on video years ago and when he said it, I had to rewind just to be sure. Even when I was a kid, it was the classic did-he-really-say-that(?) moment.
I remember all those shows..also remember weird adventures of Alex Mac
Anyone else noticing this show feels a lot like the cartoon Recess?
That makes sense. I think I watched that Ice Cream episode about 300 times.
I def remember this show, hearing the theme song made me feel nostalgia
"That's what I used to spend on craft service for Roseanne"
I'm going to hell for laughing so hard
1. Venus De Milo also appeared on a couple of episodes of Family Matters. 2. I am glad that I checked your channel page. I missed this video when it premiered.
Somebody on the MovieChat board for Salute Your Shorts asked if Nickelodeon was in some part, inspired by Camp Cucamonga, which was a made-for-TV movie that NBC aired in 1990. It starred a young Jennifer Aniston as well as John Ratzenberger from Cheers, future Nickelodeon president Brian Robbins, Candace Cameron from Full House, Danica McKellar and Josh Saviano from The Wonder Years, and Jaleel White from Family Matters. It was in effect, one of those TV movies (like Dance 'til Dawn, Crash Course, Kidz in the Woods, etc.) that we would occasionlly get that brought together all of the big teen sitcom stars of the era.
Isn't that how Candace and Danica first met, or had they met before that?
I love the fact that Camp Cucamonga is (unless someone's taken it down) available to watch here on UA-cam for free.
Makes me so upset this only got two seasons
I'm sorry, both Haley from The Wizard AND Pinsky from Salute Your Shorts are in Rilo Kiley?!
And they used to be in a relationship as well
Summer camps seem to be one of those things that, because they've been depicted in so much media over the years, everyone has an idea of what they're like even if they've never been to one. I get the feeling shows like this made overnight camps seem like a more ubiquitous experience than they actually were, but I've never known anyone (apart from my mom) who actually went to one. I did go to a "summer camp," but that was more of a place to go and do activities during the day while my parents worked. It wasn't quite the same thing.
Usually the overnight summer camps on tv are depicted as lasting the entire summer. I am sure that many more people only went for a month or less.
Since I turned 10 in 1991 this was a big show for me and I watched it in reruns after it ended in 1992 until I'd seen every episode quite a few times and would know immediately what episode it was from the first few moments. I liked it more than Hey Dude and Clarissa, but I did appreciate that those had more episodes. I'm pretty sure that in 1991 / 1992 a lot of my personality was sculpted from SYS, Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons, and other shows I watched endlessly in reruns like Full House, Perfect Strangers, and Family Matters.
Hey Dude sucked imo
I like Salute Your Shorts I watch it a lot when I was a kid it's still fun to watch today and I wish that a third season would happen. 😀👍
I think another “straw that broke the camel’s back” regarding the cancellation of Salute Your Shorts was moving to Florida as part of shows run by Nickelodeon Studios (which is your next Nick Nacks); I’m confident the show’s producers and actors wanted to stay in California for the genuine setting, which I think Nickelodeon should’ve honored as The Adventures of Pete and Pete stayed in the Northeastern United States.
I think moving to Florida would remove the genuineness of Camp Anawanna, hence I support the show ending on a high-note.
Finally, thanks for covering a childhood favorite and I hope you recover from your illness, poparena!
We're just gonna leave out that Trevor Eyster became a full anti-vax/anti-trans QAnon crazy person?
I remember my mom heard the "pissed off" comment by sponge, she didn't like that. Lucky I was able to keep watching.
Classic tv series haven't seen this since I was 7 in 1991 until I was 8 in 1992 on nick 👋
You can’t forget about the awful waffle lol and when the kids would say roasted, toasted and burned to a crisp lol
I'm holding off from watching this immediately because this is my favorite NICK show. We're nearing the end of my regular NICK viewing, so I'm nostalgia edging. Not that I'll stop watching once we pass my point of viewership. You make superb and interesting videos and I'm just waiting for the algorithm to kick off for you.
I loved that show as a kid. My favorite was the ice cream in the nurse station episode. God man it so sad to see the “what they doing now” for DL.
I always wanted to work a puzzle upside down like Budnick and Michael!
After Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts is my favorite of the live-action Nick shows. It definitely could have gone on for at least one more season, and with (one of) the last episodes being another soft reboot with Dr Khan's niece being introduced, I think that new dynamic could have brought the characters in further more interesting places.
i remember as a kid, watching this every weekend. Salute Your Shorts is a great sitcom. especially Danny Cooksey who voice Jack Spicer and Dave the Barbarian
It's not mentioned in the video, but Danny Cooskey was also in the last few seasons of Diff'rent Strokes as Mr. Drummond's step-son, Sam McKinney.
This was never a great favorite of mine, but I watched it occasionally; I was never a fan of summer camp, and always refused to go.
However, I had NO idea only 26 episodes were made since, as you said, it was rerun ad infinitum. What a surprise!
@14:32, OMG! I Love That TreeHouse w/ Slide!❤️📺🎶👍🏻
I'm surprised this episode isn't as long as I expected.
Wow, this brought back some real deep memories... So many of the clips I just knew the lines right away. I haven't even thought about this show since probably 1997.
Loved this show growing up, thanks for the great video and series!
Holyshit every 30s to a minute I'm getting flashbacks to my childhood.
Not sure if someone said it yet or not, but there’s a Finders Keepers episode where the announcer says Bitchin’ Kitchen. I would say that is the first Nickelodeon cuss.
Oh, I was waiting for this one 😁 Hands down, this was a top 5 Nickelodeon show for me when I was a kid. I loved the characters, I loved the silly humor, I loved the subversion - in a way, it kinda ruined summer camp for me, because I knew it could never really be this much fun. I did go to sleepaway camp in the summer of 1997 and I hated every second of it; it would've been much more bearable if I could've teamed up with the other kids to paint the counselors blue and pluck out their nose hairs 😆
It was also one of several Nickelodeon shows that my grandma vocally hated, thanks to all the rude dialogue and fart jokes. She hated Rocko's Modern Life too, so she ended up serving as kind of an inverse yardstick for my favorite Nickelodeon shows - if grandma hates it, it's gotta be good 😆
This show always makes me feel like a kid again
Me, who has only ever watched HOPR:
Getting strong Bulk & Skull vibes from this Donkey Lips guy.
Funny how Paramount Plus has part one of a two parter but not the second part.
I can't believe I've never seen that pilot before
Absolutely delightful, thank you for your wonderful work
I distinctly remember the Deena and Donkey Lips dance episode. It was easily the best episode of the series.
I never watched hey dude but i remember commercials for the shorts.
What can I say about "Salute Your Shorts" that hasn't been previously said? And I think it's unacceptable that just a tiny portion of the 26 episodes are on Paramount+. I want the entire series available for people like me to enjoy. And anybody got a favorite character and/or moment? I'd say Budnick is my favorite character, and that episode where he loses the Basketball game is one of my favorites (he ignored Michael clearly yelling "I'm open!" five times). The shooting locations are very nice, too. I always like nice and relaxing locations. "Hey Dude" had plenty of those.
It's one of those things that It's been so long since I've seen the show that I forgot some of more questionable aspects of the show. That point aside, I do like the show, and it's good to see the cast is doing well, for the most part.
*warily removes finger from the Never Forgive Him for Not Mentioning Zeke the Plumber button*
So is the interview on your patreon. I'd like to watch it as soon as possible
"Sadly, Bailey died of lung cancer on February 28, 2002."
2022, my dude. Literally last year.
