| TV.com summary | |
Wayside (Wayside School in the UK) is a Canadian and American co-produced animated television series airing on Teletoon in Canada and Nickelodeon in the United States, based on the Sideways Stories From Wayside School book series by Louis Sachar.
Originally a one-hour television movie on Teletoon in November 2005, 26 episodes of the series have been commissioned for 2007. Each episode is composed of two 15-minute shorts. As a production of both Teletoon and Nickelodeon, Wayside holds the distinction of being the only series to be both a Teletoon Original and Nicktoon. Unlike most Teletoon shows in the U.S, this is the third Teletoon show to be put on a channel other than Cartoon Network. The first two was My Dad The Rock Star and Shaun the Sheep
In the US, Wayside aired on Nickelodeon weekdays at 12:30pm ET in the United States from June-July 2007, but it has been moved to 3:30pm ET weekdays. As of September 1, 2007, it also airs on the Nicktoons Network. In Canada, it airs on Teletoon every Saturday at 8am ET and 4:30pm ET.
The opening theme, "Fly by the Wayside", is performed by Skye Sweetnam. The series is directed by Riccardo Durante and the head writer/story editor was John Derevlany, who wrote the pilot and developed the series. The pilot was released to DVD under the title Wayside: The Movie, on September 25, 2007. The first season was released by Paramount Home Entertainment on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc on August 19, 2008.[citation needed]

Wayside is a series taking place at the fictional Wayside School: an unusual Escher-esque 30-story grammar school which had accidentally been built "sideways", with one room in each of the 30 stories instead of 30 rooms on one floor. In the books, there are actually 29 floors in the school, one inhabited by the imaginary Miss Zarves on the imaginary 19th floor. The series revolves around a new student at the school, named Todd, and his adventures adapting to life as a student at the top floor of Wayside School.
There are some character(s) who have been mentioned in the series, but are never seen.
for no reason.
Wayside: The Movie was aired in Canada on November 19, 2005, as the series pilot. It has yet to be aired in the U.S.
Todd gets transferred to Wayside School, a school that was accidentally stacked 30 stories high instead of 30 rooms sideways. He tries to fit in with everyone in Mrs. Jewls' class on the 30th floor. He saved them from being crushed by the trash compactor that was accidentally on the 30th floor and the machine would work every time the PA comes on. Mark Rendall and Nancy Cartwright (The Simpsons, Animaniacs) will redub Todd and Mrs. Jewls voices for the Nickelodeon airing of the pilot.
