[edit] Synopsis

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. When Todd firstly goes to wayside he finds it a strange and unusual school but some times he feels like he is just at home, but he says PCA is better than Wayside because he's dating Lola even though he has to be with Vince on a date with Lola as seen in Chasing Zoey he was dancing with Lola and Vince.

[edit] Characters

[edit] Main

  • Todd (David Kaufman) - 12-year old Todd is the new student in Mrs. Jewls' 30th-floor class, and feels like the only person in Wayside with any common sense. He originally transferred to Wayside after an accident involving helping kindergarten kids with retrieving toys, only for an unusual series of events to happen, leading the toys to be destroyed by a wood chipper. Ever since, he has an aversion to kindergarten kids. However, his stay at Wayside is no better: every day, he manages to get enough trouble so as to warrant sending him home early on the kindergarten bus. He never deliberately misbehaves, but Mrs. Jewls frequently punishes him due to technicalities and minor infractions. On Nickelodeon he is voiced by Mark Rendall and in the pilot, Michael Cera.
  • Maurecia (Nancy Cartwright) - Maurecia is a girl in Mrs. Jewls's class who loves to be active. Maurecia wears rollerblades and helmet everywhere. She also wears a bluish-gray miniskirt. She is in love with Todd and punches him whenever she can. Maurecia used to act like more like a girl until Mrs. Gorf became the substitute teacher for Maurecia's class. The substitute changed Maurecia's pet porcupine, Fluffy, into a pineapple and all of Maurecia's classmates into apples (and Myron into a potato). Soon enough, something inside Maurecia "just snapped," and she suddenly got rollerblades, a helmet, and very angry. Maurecia demanded that Mrs. Gorf turn the students and Fluffy back, and she did, and Maurecia just stayed as her new aggressive self (when Fluffy changed back, he became sharp and spiky). In the book her pet was a cat named "Strawberry". Her hair was red in the pilot, but bluish-violet in the series. She has a monstrous love for ice cream but in the books she had an ice cream flavor named after her. One question, how does she get up to the 30th floor wearing her rollerskates? She is voiced by Denise Oliver on the Nickelodeon airings.
  • Mrs. Jewls (Nancy Cartwright) - Mrs. Jewls is the enthusiastic teacher of the 30th-floor class. She sometimes refers to her students, Todd in particular (due to her perception that he breaks the rules or does something bad), as monkeys. Her teaching style is unorthodox and offbeat at best, and it is sometimes questioned whether she has any real academic credentials (she claims that Ancient Greece was founded by a T-Rex and a Wolf Man at the first Olympics). However, this is considered to be one of her endearing traits by her students. In Teacher's Parent Conference, it was revealed that she was raised in the circus.
  • Myron (Martin Villafana) - If there is anyone who wants to be class president most in the school, it's Myron. He's the dumbest (due to Mrs. Gorf gawking up a storm on him) student in Mrs. Jewls's class. He is from the Philippines. He will stop at nothing to become class president (crying like a baby on some occasions). He is also extremely selfish. Mr. Kidswatter always calls him by the wrong name (for example, Morgan) except for in "The Three Erics" when Myron takes off his glasses. He was president for only one day until he forgot to turn on the lights. He wears an aqua-colored sweater. He is also very, very fat.
  • Dana (Nancy Cartwright) - Dana is a girl in Mrs. Jewls' class, who is cast as a brainy, a Type A personality overachiever. She tends to be selfless and lacks control of her emotions - her trademark catchphrase is "Enough with the fun!" on some occasions. She is the first one to meet Todd in the pilot. One of Dana's personality traits is that she loves rules. She wrote the rules and regulations of the school and obsessively maintains them - "The Wayside Rulebook states, Chapter 5, Section 2-B, Paragraph 4: All oral reports are to be performed without talking." One episode gives her full name as "Yo Dana". In the books she thinks John is "a ratfink." She wears a green striped shirt. On Nickelodeon she is voiced by Lisa Ng.
  • Mr. Kidswatter (Phil LaMarr) - Mr. Kidswatter is the principal of Wayside School, who has a tendency to make long drawn-out speeches over the school PA system. He has an aversion to children and doors (referred to as "goozacks"), believing that the students' plan to throw him a birthday party was a plot on to overthrow him. A running gag in this series is that he always refers to Todd by his home address (344 South Fairview, Toad in "Principles of Principals") rather than his name. His own name implies the use of strict policies ("kid swatter"), and despite his position of authority, he never actually completed his education at the very school he administrates.
  • Louis (Jason Marsden) - Louis is the caretaker at Wayside, who is in charge of recess, the gym, and the cows. He takes care of the grounds keeping work with a very mellow and relaxed demeanor. As an alumnus of Wayside itself, Louis also acts as a "big brother" figure to all of the students. In The Elevator, it is seen that students like to dress up like him and be in a group called "rescue dudes". Louis is a fictionalized version of the show's creator and books' author, Louis Sachar. In the books he had a "mustache of many colors."
  • Miss Mush (Jayne Eastwood) - Miss Mush is the head of the school cafeteria, located on the 15th floor. In the pilot, it was implied that she was also the school nurse, although this is not the case in the series. In the episode, Honors Class, it is mentioned that she teaches the honors class on the 29th floor. The meals which she prepares often contain strange ingredients, and are often inedible; she seems to find more typical foods and kitchen standards to be abhorrent or incomprehensible. Despite this, she is loved by the students. Most notable among her dishes is a green glowing dish called "Mushroom Surprise", which has the property of being able to melt anything that comes in contact with it (and causes those who eat it to fall in love with the first person they see, causing Todd to fall in love with Mrs. Jewls). In numerous episodes she is said to hail from "the Mamaland", a fictional Eastern European country. She often speaks in third person. She always carries around Sammy and speaks to him, though she knows he is dead.

[edit] Supporting

  • The Three Erics (Terry McGurrin, Peter Oldring, and Rickey Collins in that order) - The Erics (Bacon, Fry, and Ovens) are three similarly-attired students in Mrs. Jewls' class, who do everything together. They are the second supporting characters on the show to have their own episode. (According to the Wayside rulebook in every class there should be three students named Eric, not more, not less) They like One Republic and want to be in the NFL.
  • Shari (Tara Strong) - Shari is an overcoat-wearing student in Mrs. Jewls' class, who is usually asleep. In the episode "Cabbage my Boy" it is suggested that she is only asleep while attending school, because her activities at home with her family (who also wear overcoats, even the baby) leave her with no time to sleep. She weighs 49 pounds. In the episode "Imperfect Attendance" Dana says that Shari does all her best work when sleeping, she doesn't want to wake her up.
  • Stephen (Terry McGurrin) - Stephen is a boy in Mrs. Jewls' class, who is always attired in his Halloween elf costume. His family is seen in similar holiday-themed attire. He is one of the three students on the school tetherball team. In Rat in Shining Armor, it is revealed that his idea of a costume is wearing normal clothes. He has two sets of "costumes". In Cabbage My Boy, it is revealed that his family is Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and a Thanksgiving Turkey. He is the first supporting character to have his own episode.
  • Jenny (Denise Oliver) - Jenny is a student in Mrs. Jewls' class who always wears a helmet and some sort of Evel Knievel like jump suit, as she rides a motorcycle to (and in) school. She has an affection for Myron and appears to be best friends with Maurecia, who she refers as Sista Mo. She's also on Wayside's tether ball team. In "Dana Checks Out," she calls Dana "Sista Dee."
  • John (Julie Lemieux in the series, Dwayne Hill in the pilot, Tara Strong in the episode Upside Down John) - John is a student in Mrs. Jewls' class who is always seen upside-down. In Cabbage My Boy, it is revealed that his whole family stands upside-down like he does. He is the fourth character to have his own episode.
  • Joe (Terry McGurrin) - Joe is a student in Mrs. Jewls who is often seen, and has an orange afro. In Wayside Christmas he got a blow dryer as a present. In Joe and Fro, Joe lets small animals live in his hair to protect them from Mr. Kidswatter. He is the third supporting character to have his own episode. He has 55,006 strands of curly hair.
  • Rondi (Grey Delisle) - Rondi is a very fat girl in Mrs. Jewls class who is missing her two front teeth. The gap in her teeth is caused by her eating too many sweets (mainly cake). She wears a blue blouse and is smiling all the time. She brushes her teeth in a couple episodes (so she doesn't lose any more teeth). Eating too much cake is what caused her to be very frumpy.
  • Leslie (Kath Soucie) - Leslie is a girl who has two pigtails that are sometimes useful. In Music Lessons, she uses her pigtails as hands to play Bongos. It looks like she is good friends with Bebe. Leslie is the only character to have never said anything. She has made noises, though. In the pilot she screams, and in Daring Love she laughs.
  • Bebe Gunn (Cree Summer) - Bebe Gunn is a girl in Mrs. Jewls class who is a very good artist. In Wayside Christmas, her art skills are showcased, although she doesn't talk. In Music Lessons, it is revealed that she is friends with Leslie when she says, "Cool, Leslie. Real cool."
  • Deedee (Grey Delisle) - Deedee is a girl with lemon-lime hair, who sits near the middle of the classroom. In the pilot, she is on the 17th floor. She wears a pink and purple striped shirt to school.
  • Fluffy (Tara Strong) - Fluffy is Maurecia's pet porcupine, who hates Todd. In the episode called "Mrs. Gorf", he really was fluffy (before Mrs. Gorf turned him into a pineapple and back). He likes ice cream, just like Maurecia. He wore rollerskates in "My Fluffy Hair."
  • Sammy - Sammy is Miss Mush's dead (or petrified) rat. Sammy assists Miss Mush, but he's dead, so he just keeps Miss Mush company. Although Miss Mush does seem to acknowledge Sammy's departure from the living world, she sometimes points out things about him that a dead being couldn't possibly do; these things include going on vacation or dancing. Sometimes she's even saddened that Sammy seems to have more of a life than she does. A running gag in the series (carried over from the books) is that the "dead" part of being a dead rat may refer both to Sammy being not alive and implying that a "dead rat" is a species of rat. In "Todd Falls In Love" it is implied that Sammy might have been dead for a year, the last time anyone (which happened to be Sammy) ate Miss Mush's mushroom surprise and that it killed Sammy. However, it can also mean that the only reason someone ate the mushroom surprise was because he or she was already dead.
  • Poobinsky/Stewy - An octopus that Miss Mush can never cook because he always runs away. He was introduced in the pilot with a green color, but is purple in the series.
  • Mrs. Gorf (Julie Lemieux) - Although only shown in one episode, she has the power to turn students into apples, cows into pumpkins, Myron into a potato, and Fluffy into a pineapple. Her name spelled backwards is "frog."
  • Le Chef (Ian Holm) - In the two episodes he appears in (French Fried, "Le Race"), he tries to get revenge on Mr. Kidswatter for firing him. Voiced by the same person who played Chef Skinner in Ratatouille.
  • Mr. Blunderbuss (Jeffery Jones) - Mr. Blunderbuss is a teacher on the 14th floor who's been on many daring explorations. He led Mrs. Jewls' class on a camping trip in "Mrs. Gorf."

[edit] Mentioned

There are some character(s) who have been mentioned in the series, but are never seen.

  • Miss Zarves - Miss Zarves was a teacher who was mentioned by Jenny to Dana in "Dana Checks Out", but was never seen. She taught a class on the nonexistent 19th floor. In Sideways Stories From Wayside School and its sequels, Miss Zarves' floor occupies a sort of alternate reality which the students sometimes stumble upon.
  • D.J - D.J is mentioned in The Pilot when Mrs. Jewls is counting votes. There was a rumor that he is shown in The Pilot, but there was no proof of it. Actually, D.J. is seen in the book series.

[edit] Trivia

  • Todd apparently has a gap in his teeth
  • Myron was class president for only one day.
  • In the pilot, John (the kid who is always upside down) talks to Mrs. Jewls by manipulating his legs. However, he speaks in later episodes.
  • Louis' teacher when he left Wayside was Mr. Osteo. In the books, it was Mrs. Drazil (Lizard backwards).
  • Wayside is actually 29 floors high. The 19th floor is nonexistent. This makes Wayside about 290 feet high.
  • The 17th floor has a very low ceiling.
  • On the outside shots of Wayside, a purple curved section is seen. In the middle is a part sticking out. This is shown to be the cafeteria. It has also been shown to be the auditorium in a few episodes.
  • Todd is an only child, as seen in the episode Cabbage my Boy.
  • Dana has "about a million" brothers. On the episode Cabbage my Boy, during her speech, it can be heard that she is one of seventeen brothers and sisters.
  • Le Chef has been trying to get revenge on Mr. Kidswatter since he was fired in French Fried.

[edit] Differences from the books

  • In the episode "Cabbage my Boy", Todd is in an only child. In the books he has a baby brother named Ralphie (who is Myron's younger brother in "Meet the Pets").
  • In the show Mr. Kidswatter is on the 1st floor, in the books he is on the 4th

[edit] Wayside: The Movie

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.
