| - Salute Your Shorts was an American television show that used to air on Nickelodeon back from 1991-1992, the series created by Steve Slavkin had run almost a few decades ago, about a life at a summer camp and a lot of activities going on around here.
- Airing on Nickelodeon in the early/mid nineties, Salute Your Shorts was a network contemporary of such shows as Clarissa Explains It All, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and Are You Afraid of the Dark??, and like those three tends to be among the more clearly and fondly remembered pieces of the era (making it a prime candidate for the Nostalgia Filter). A sitcom centered around a group of kids at summer camp Annawanna. The title of the show comes from a common prank in initiating new campers. Older, jerkier campers would loot their luggage, steal their underwear, and run them up the nearest flag pole to let them flap in the breeze. Seeing how there's no way to un-steal it, the appropriate response is to, "stand at attention, click your heels, and salute your shorts!"

| - Salute Your Shorts is an American comedy television program that aired on Nickelodeon from 1991–1992 and in reruns until 1998. The series, based on the 1986 book Salute Your Shorts: Life at Summer Camp by Steve Slavkin, is set at the summer camp Camp Anawanna. It focuses on teenage campers and their problems with both the camp and with each other. The title of the show comes from a common prank campers play on each other: a group of kids steals a boy's boxer shorts and raises them up a flagpole. Hence, when people see the boy's boxers waving like a flag, other kids would salute them as part of the prank. The show was filmed at Griffith Park in Los Angeles.

The first episode introduced Michael Stein, the Naive Newcomer, to the existing ensemble cast, which was set up as a Six-Student Clique. The other campers included:
* Budnick: The Schemer and resident Jerkass, Budnick is a con artist and more than a bit of a bully, preferring to use manipulative ploys more often than outright coercion, though he has Donkeylips to back him up in that department as well. His attitude initially repulsed most everyone at camp, but as time went by his hostile veneer started to rub off.
* Donkeylips: The muscle (Donkeylips is fat, but tough enough to qualify) and sometimes Budnick's enforcer, though he is rather amiable in personality otherwise. Openly crushes on Dina, to her disgust... most of the time.
* Sponge: the quirk, a smart, scrawny kid with occasional hyperactive tendencies.
* Telly: the smart one, although more in a common sense way, Telly is a tomboy obsessed with sports. Also the token black kid.
* Dina: the pretty one - a bit of a Brainless Beauty, and can be a Rich Bitch
* Z.Z.: the wild one - Granola Girl and Cloudcuckoolander, very conscientious about the environment but less conscious of just about everything else. The only authority figure in sight is Kevin "Ug" Lee, the dim-witted loser guy counselor. Dr. Kahn, his superior, is only heard through loudspeaker. In season two Erik MacArthur left the show and accordingly Michael left camp, (ostensibly due to chicken pox), and was promptly replaced by Ronnie Pinsky. Pinsky, in his debut episode, is established as a wise-cracking Ferris Bueller-like character (Michael's polar opposite, really) and immediately becomes the most popular kid in camp (except with Budnick). Later in the season, however, he becomes much more restrained and fallible (though still with his moments of Bueller-like mischief), and his popularity is significantly lower.
