Wayside School

Wayside School is a live-action situation comedy series for children that was produced by TotalAccess between 1999 to 2001. It is based on the Wayside School book series by Louis Sachar. Much like another TotalAccess production, Clue, Wayside is a 'watch it or read it' show, in which stories from the books are adapted for television. Each of the show's 100 episodes features two miniature stories direct from the books.

Wayside was built 30 stories high, with one classroom on each story. The building was supposed to be one story, with thirty classrooms in a row. The builder said he was very sorry.

This sets the tone for the craziness and oddities that pervade throughout Wayside, especially on Mrs. Jewls and her class of zany children. Then there's also Louis the yard teacher, Miss Mush, the school lunchlady, and Miss Zarves, the teacher who doesn't exist on the 19th story... which doesn't exist either.
