Move over iCarly, Bobby Budnick is moving in! According to Entertainment Weekly TeenNick will begin airing Nickelodeon shows from the ’90s this fall. This includes Rugrats, Kenan & Kel, Pete & Pete, The Amanda Show, All That, Clarissa Explains it All, and Salute Your Shorts!
As I wrap up Salute Your Shorts week, I want to thank the cast and crew who were a part of Salute Your Shorts. I’m sure I speak for all the fans, when I say that the show was a highlight of our childhood. Eighteen years later, people still remember the show fondly. To Danny Cooksey, Heidi Lucas, Megan Berwick, Michael Ray Bower, Trevor Eyster, Venus DeMilo, Erik MacArthur, Blake Soper, Kirk Bailey, and Steve Slavkin thanks for being part of the show that made us laugh.

Our dedication to Salute Your Shorts ends today with the conclusion of I Am Sponge. An interview with Trevor Eyster. Trevor has recently opened himself up to the fans on his Sponge Harris Facebook page. You may have only known him as the Sponge, but I think you’re about to learn a lot more on who Trevor Eyster is.

Portrayed: Dina Alexander & Z.Z. Ziff
After Salute Your Shorts ended, both Megan and Heidi had a few acting roles. Heidi had a role on Boy Meets World and The Wayans Brothers. While Megan starred in The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom. So Where are they now?

This is Dr. Kahn, your camp leader, with the Camp Anawanna camper profile of the day. Every group of pre-teen misfits needs a fat kid who goes by a nickname that accentuates his fatness. Our resident chunker is Eddie “Donkeylips” Gelfen. In the grand tradition of Chunk, Fat Kid, Cartman, and Vern, Donkeylips is husky, sweaty, and constantly dreams of fatty foods. He is not above eating rock-hard, painted macaroni during arts and crafts. Despite his girth, he proved his worth during the camp’s game of capture the flag. In addition to being the token fattie, this is a man at the heart of a love triangle. He is torn between serving as Budnick’s sidekick and enforcer and being Sponge’s best friend. With Budnick, he is feared, but with Sponge, he can be himself. Despite this identity struggle, he remains honest, loyal, and smelly. Where would we be without a fat kid?
For two seasons the campers of Camp Anawanna ran, jumped, swam and played. Sometimes they even rowed and went on trips. Throughout their camp stay, they created a lot of great memories. Budnick, Donkeylips, Dina, Sponge, Z.Z, Michael, Telly, Ronnie, and Ug all provided us memorable moments. Too many to count. However, we have identified the Essential Seven Salute Your Shorts Moments.

Portrayed: Telly Radford
Playing sport-obsessed Telly Radford was one of Venus’s first acting roles. She has continued acting since the end of the show. Where is she now?

I found this collection of photos of the cast published by Michael Ray Bower (Donkeylips)
A few weeks ago, we asked you to send in your favorite Salute Your Shorts memories. What was your favorite episode, or who did you relate to the most. Well I narrowed down some of the responses, and I was surprised by a few of them. Most people said the Zeke the Plumber or the Awful Waffle. As always, there were a few unique ones (and a few of them that were just dirty!). Here is what you most remember about the show!

In Season One, the new camper was the blond, athletic Michael Stein. In Season Two, after Michael left camp due to a case of the chicken pox, viewers were introduced to the floppy-haired, smooth talkin’ Ronnie Pinsky. Budnick ran both of their shorts up the flagpole. However, this is the only similarity between the two characters. SYS fans are divided, placing the debate over Michael and Pinksy alongside arguments about Mike vs. Joel and Claudia Wells vs. Elisabeth Shue.
