  1. Wayside

    Wayside is a Canadian/American animated television series created by Louis Sachar, developed and written by John Derevlany for Canadian television channel Teletoon, and the American Cable channel Nickelodeon. The series centers on Todd, a transfer student who attends Wayside, an offbeat educational institution based on Sachar's upbringing. The series' premise is based on Sachar's Sideways Stories From Wayside School book series, although several elements in the series differ greatly. The series was conceived in 2004 by Derevlany, who later developed and wrote an hour-long pitch for Teletoon. Pleased, the company green-lighted Wayside for 26 episodes in 2007-2008. The series was later commissioned to air in the United States on Nickelodeon during the summer of 2007 before being pulled from the network's lineup and returning late in the year. The show premiered in reruns on Nicktoons on September 1, 2007, and actually left the channel on April 5, 2010. The show also premiered on The N on January 14, 2008, until March 15, 2009. Production ceased in 2008 for both countries. Although a third and fourth season is being debated by fans and some writers featuring animated debuts of book-only characters, featuring Shari as a main star and returns from old villains, it is not likely possible unless Teletoon and Nickelodeon decide to renew the show.
