Production notes

Based on best-selling author Louis Sachar's zany books, "Wayside" is a series that captures how kids really see the world in all its preposterous, contradictory glory. Set inside a quirky grammar school accidentally built 30 stories high, "Wayside" follows the peculiar twists and turns of kid logic and introduces a fantastic environment where students are smarter than teachers, cows wander the halls (of course!), and cafeteria meals sit around for hours until they achieve strange powers - none of which enhance the food's flavor...

"Wayside" originally aired as a one-hour special (also titled "Wayside School") on Teletoon on November 19, 2005.

Beginning with this episode, the series moved over to Flash animation from hand animation. This resulted in a new look for all the characters, and a new feel for the show.
