WAYSIDE Theme - Saturday Morning Acapella - Triforcefilms
In their latest addition to Triforcefilms' Saturday Morning A Capella playlist, Mr. Dooves performs a capella cover version of the Wayside theme song!
Original composer - "Fly by the Wayside", Skye Sweetnam
Wayside (also known as Wayside School) is a popular Canadian animated comedy television series developed by John Derevlany for Teletoon and Nickelodeon. The series centres on Todd, a transfer student who attends Wayside, an offbeat 30-story elementary school. It is loosely based on the Wayside School books by Louis Sachar, although several elements differ between the two works.
Derevlany conceived Wayside in 2003, leading to an hour-long television special pilot titled Wayside: The Movie that aired in 2005. Teletoon greenlit two seasons of Wayside consisting of thirteen half-hour episodes each, and they aired from 2007 to 2008. The series ran on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons channels worldwide, including Nickelodeon USA, Nicktoons Network, and Nicktoons UK.
Wayside ran for 26 episodes (and 1 pilot) over two seasons between November 19, 2005 – January 15, 2008.
"Fly by the Wayside" lyrics:
So cool and crazy and wild and upside down
I'm bored, and that's not fun
I wanna get away
But I'm too tired to run,
I'm gonna find a place where there are no rules,
and the world is wild
I have the tools to make things happen
And the reaction will explode
The lights go off, the world flips upside down
I brought the party to town.
My deal to make my chance to take
So take a ride, fly by the wayside
Fly by the wayside
The lights go off, the world flips upside down
I brought the party to town.
My deal to make my chance to take
So take a ride! So take a ride!
Fly by the wayside, wayside,
Fly by the wayside, wayside,
WAYSIDE!!!

Mitch Schauer Talks Possible 'The Angry Beavers' Revival
Could there be an The Angry Beavers revival on the horizon?
In a fantastic interview with Old School Lane's Casual Chats, Mitch Schauer, the creator of Angry Beavers, has said that there are no current plans for Nickelodeon to bring back two of the network’s most memorable cartoon critters, however, if they do want to revive the popular '90s animated series, he's more than willing to make it happen - and he's got the perfect premise and title ready and waiting!
Update (1/6): Nickelodeon Animation has revealed in a post on their official Tumblr page that there are unfortunately no plans to revive The Angry Beavers for a Respoot. However, they do hint that this could change in the future!:

Kiernan Shipka to Star as Sabrina in Netflix 'Riverdale' Spinoff
The untitled drama received a two-season order at the streaming giant in December.
Netflix has found its Sabrina!
Mad Men and Feud star Kiernan Shipka has been tapped to topline the two-season, straight-to-series Sabrina Riverdale spinoff.
Image credit: WBTV
The show will reimagine the origin and adventures of the comic book character Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age tale that traffics in horror, the occult and witchcraft. It's described as in the vein of Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist and finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature as a half-witch, half-mortal while fighting the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit. The untitled drama's Sabrina Spellman is described as an empowered young woman, half-human, half-witch, who is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High. Intelligent, compassionate and brave to the point of recklessness, Sabrina is all that stands between us and the forces of darkness that threaten our world.
The untitled Sabrina drama was put in development at younger-skewing broadcaster The CW in September 2017. A casting search to play the reimagined teenage witch began almost immediately. Sources note that The CW and producers Warner Bros. Television had a list of actresses they eyed for the role. That was revisited, given the large 20-episode/two-season order and move to Netflix, with Shipka emerging as the top choice.
"We’re all such huge fans of Kiernan’s work that when we started talking about who this new incarnation of Sabrina could be, her name was on everyone’s wish list. This is a darker, more macabre version of Sabrina, and we’re incredibly excited for people to see Kiernan make this iconic character her own," said Riverdale executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Added Archie Comics CEO Jon Goldwater: “I am thrilled that Kiernan is playing Sabrina and have no doubt that she will embody the strength, courage and boldness that has made the character a fan favorite.”
Riverdale showrunner Aguirre-Sacasa, who also serves as chief creative officer of Archie Comics, penned the script. A Sabrina spinoff was originally eyed as a potential companion series for Riverdale to air in the 2018-2019 TV broadcast season. Aguirre-Sacasa will direct the drama and executive produce alongside Riverdale collaborators Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Goldwater and Lee Toland Krieger. The drama hails from Warner Bros. Television-based Berlanti Productions.
Shipka is best known for her seven-season role as Sally Draper on AMC's Mad Men. She most recently played B.D. Hyman, the teen daughter of Bette Davis, on FX's Feud. Her other credits include Nickelodeon's The Legend of Korra and Lifetime's Flowers in the Attic. She's repped by CAA, Anonymous Content and Sloane Offer.
Still no word if Sabrina will be joined by her wise-cracking cat, Salem Saberhagen. We can only hope!
