I only liked it when Budnick won. I really hated when the others got the best of him. It was so...terrible.

Who could forget Salute Your Shorts, part of the Golden Age of Nickelodeon?
Now that I'm older, I realize that this was one of those shows that, while it was made for kids, had a lot of adult jokes the younger ones probably wouldn't get. For example, remember the episode where Michael and Budnick fake being sick, and everyone else goes to the beach? On the way there the group goes to a rest stop, and Donkey Lips gets locked in the bathroom. He tells Sponge that "there's a machine in here that sells balloons."
That wouldn't mean much to a little kid, but think about it now! I think we can guess what those machines were REALLY selling, eh? :lol:

There's a bunch of episodes I remember. When Budnick and Dina became a couple.
When the smart kid was winning that radio contest and they asked what was the color of a giraffe's tongue. Then Ug comes in and gives them the correct answer after making some speech about a school mascot.
I thought it was really good, it could have been a stereotypical show, but you really got to know more about the kids and how they changed.
But I must admit, I didn't care for Michael and I really can't remember that much about him.

Remember the one when they told the story about the plumber guy who had his nose cut off and they were all freaking out and then at the end ugg and everyone teamed up to scare the hell out of budnick??? I think that show and Hey dude, round house, and so many more should be put back on the air darn it! Like Eureka's castle, today's special.... I could go on forever. Can't they just have like a classic day or something???

I liked the show. But I didn't like how they toned down Budnick in later seasons. It's apparent even in the changed opening song.
The first version Budnick yells out "It makes me wanna fart!" very loudly at the top of his lungs, and wiith a huge grin on his face that said "Ha! I know I'll get in trouble, but it was worth it!"
When they changed the song, he still has the same line. But instead of yelling it, he just says it with no emotion behind it. No enthusiasm. And he says it like he immediately expects an audience reaction from him saying something funny, but with no real delivery (like Michelle from Full House).
But, I think a lot of the jokes with a lot of the cast felt more forced than organic in later seasons.

Did anyone find it odd that we never got to see Dr. Kahn? He was like this omniscient force presiding over the entire camp.

not seeing him bothered me too, but when i got older and found out it was the voice of ben stein, then i just picutred him like a camp style mr. bellding
I remember the one with the plumber story and the one that had Michael and Budnick completing a puzzle towards the end, don't remember what the plot of that ep. was. :/ (I just remember it was the first time I'd heard of a person doing a puzzle upside-down.)

That was the episode where Michael and Budnick fake being sick to get out of instructional swim, and the others end up going to the beach. So they have to spend the day in the infirmary, and Budnick suggests that they steal the key needed to open the locked refrigerator that has ice cream in it. Toward the end they assemble a jigsaw puzzle, and Budnick tells Michael to put the pieces together face-down. When the puzzle is done, and he flips it over, it's a picture of various kinds of ice cream.
Why wre you bothered by not seeing Dr. Kahn? Its like Dr Claw
It didn't really bother me. I just said it was interesting that we never got to see him. :-)

That was the episode where they brought in that guy to replace the other guy. Everyone loved him. The women loved him. He knew how to handle every single situation thrown at him.
I think it's kinda funny how Budnick was in Terminator 2, as well as Diff'rent Strokes and Mr. Belvedere (where he sang "I am the captain of the Pintafore").

LOL! And doesn't the radio commentator say something like, "You never know, I could ask how many hairs are on Hulk Hogan's head! Any question is fair game!" I swear he does, 'cause I was dissapointed that the final question was... erm... "easy" compared to how tough he said it could potentially be.
I really liked the Ug Lee ('ugly') joke in, I think, the first episode. But realistically, I'm sure they made that joke a ton of times...
I think I had a crush on Dina for like 5 hours or something, during a marathon. I think I kissed my TV screen when she was on there one time, lmao.
And..... as mentioned, the Capture the Flag episode kicked ass!
