The Wrong Coast is a Canadian cartoon show on Teletoon channel. The doll stop-motion animated show features two anchors for a fake Hollywood gossip show with fake news and features. The show features a lot of parodies on Hollywood movies, but often utilizes real stars. The theme song is performed by They Might Be Giants.

The Wrong Coast was produced by Blueprint Entertainment and Curious Pictures with stop-motion animation provided by Cuppa Coffee. The series initially was to air for American audiences on AMC in December 2003 but never did, then in Canada on The Movie Network in April 2004. TELETOON has rebroadcast the original season in Canada since 19 August 2005. A French-dubbed version of the series, titled La Côte Ouest, aired in Canada on TÉLÉTOON.

With Jameson in Hell and no further episodes produced or announced, the show is apparently cancelled after its only season.
