Wayside is a Canadian and American co-produced animated television series airing on Teletoon in Canada and Nickelodeon in the United States, loosely based on the Sideways Stories From Wayside School series of books by Louis Sachar. Originally a one-hour television special on Teletoon in November 2005, 26 episodes of the series have been commissioned for 2007. Each episode contains two 15-minute shorts. As a production of both Teletoon and Nickelodeon, Wayside also holds the distinction of being the only series to be both a Teletoon Original and Nicktoon. It airs on Teletoon every Saturday at 8am and 4:30pm in Canada. Wayside airs on Nickelodeon weekdays at 12:30pm in the United States.
The show's theme song is performed by Skye Sweetnam. The series was directed by Riccardo Durante and the head writer/story editor was John Derevlany, who wrote the pilot and developed the series.
