The Tragic Reality of Salute Your Shorts

I loved this show. Salute Your Shorts and Pete and Pete were the Best as well as Clarissa

Ren and Stimpy was peak TV. Beavis and Buthead are good too

Can you do the secret world of Alex Mack no one seems to give it its flowers or remembers it. Also Kenan and Kel also not sure if you did the show “Double Dare” and “What Would You Do”

To put the budget in perspective. Wishbone's budget for episodes averaged $500k.

Ugg Lee Ugg Lee Ugg Lee!

I learned that giraffes' tongues are black because of Ug, and I'll never forget it

Sponge got to say 'Pissed off' on a Nickelodeon show. Iconic.

Fart!

I loved this show it was meatballs for kids

I LOVED this show as well as Pete and Pete, Clarissa Explains it All and, of course, Are You Afraid of the Dark. Nicks live action shows were low key goated way back when. Also, Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple and Wild n Crazy Kids were all AWESOME game shows oh and also Nick Arcade. I used to want to be on Nick Arcade SO BAD!

Can't forget Zeke the Plumber and what color a giraffes tongue is…which was the question that had to be answered in a radio contest where they had to listen to the radio non stop until they got the question and then had to fish the change from the vent to use the collect call phone to call into the radio station

Plus for them to of kept the show going. They would have been bringing in new teenage actors too often.
I could see having the original cast end up being camp counselors and what not. That’s a way to keep them around. But the show is about the kids and not counselors.
It’s just so hard to keep a show going for a lengthy time when all the actors and actresses you are using, are going through puberty.

I'll say this, i watched this show as a kid, but the song never stuck in my head. . .
i remember the storylines, but i always thought it was meh and just watched it because that was what was on at the time.
just like Hey Dude would be on at the time and i would watch it. now, that show was completely forgettable, i don't remember a single plotline of hey dude.

I preferred to watch nicktoons.

on a side note. i couldn't help noticing Bobby Buttnick was in Terminator 2 : Judgement Day.

also, to speculate on the "awful waffle", in the scene where they were gonna do it to someone, they someone said "I'll get the syrup!" ,so pancake syrup must be somehow involved. .I suspect what it was is just like, they poured syrup on the victim's belly, then took the the tennis racket and pressed it int so it would leave the imprint, kind of like a tattoo or brand.

and then the victim has to clean themself up, but has that "waffle" imprint for a while as a reminder.
it was likely more humiliating than painful and left the target as the butt of a joke and that was probably why it was so "awful".
It was the social stigma of having had that done to you that they feared.

Dang I completely forgot about this tv show.

I miss these days terribly. Growing up and learning how creepy Nintendo was and the scandals was so disappointing.

I was always into older girls growing up and I was in love with the girl with the black hair. I would watch for her

"Look around, see the world, the sun that shines above. If we don't change the way we live, we'll be covered in ROTTING PUKING GARBAGE! TOXIC WASTE! OIL SPILLS! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

That recycling episode still remains my favorite and a core memory, especially at the end when Budnick is the only one still expecting to go to the water park.

I think it's because I was a Boy Scout that I was partial to the camping aspect of this show. I always remember this being part of a block of four shows, including Clarissa Explains it all, Fifteen, and some other high school based skit show that I can't remember the name of. I never really watched reruns beyond its initial airing so I'll always remember it having a fairly short run.

The new kid from the second season was Joey the Bully on Boy Meets World

Zulu swashbuckler.
Hm always wondered what the hell happened to this show
