I mean does Cyma Zarghami sound like the type of woman to WANT to revive a Nickelodeon show? And if any Nickelodeon show, why this on-okay nevermind. Not only that, but I also found it kind of odd for Nick to be returning THIS show. I remember reading about this, finding it ironic how I had just rewatched the series, and they suddenly announced that another season was in production. I also found some obscure web pages talking about it. Ya see that YouTube video I just shared? There's comments all over it that say "YO! I MISS THIS SHOW! ECKS DEE!!!"īut more importantly, if you scroll deep, there's a lot of comments of people talking about this show returning. It's a forgettable, uniconic, uninspired piece of FLASH animation.but people loved it. I bet a lot of you people looking at this post had completely forgotten about this cartoon, or don't even know what it is. I used to like it when I was little, but rewatching it now I kind of think."well that existed". Personally I just don't care for the show.

Do any of you artists ever do a project for some stupid crap at school that you don't care about, so you don't even bother to stay to true to whatever you're researching at all, and just get the A+ because you added creativity, and ACTED interested because you did know about small details on the original source material, and you emphasized it?

Sachar’s experience as “Louis the Yard Teacher” inspired him to write the Wayside School book series, which include Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Wayside School is Falling Down, and Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger. “Louis” became a character in his Wayside School book and is a character in the play. “Sideways Stories from Wayside School is not only for kids, but for all who remember school as an exciting, and occasionally frightening, adventure.”ĭuring Sachar’s college and law school years, he worked at an elementary school where he was the Noon-Time Supervisor to watch over the students and during break time was nicknamed “Louis the Yard Teacher.” “The charming and endlessly engaging play is … smart entertainment for the whole family.” “… manages to be strange and base and fun all while putting forth an undercurrent of intellectual confidence.” This school is the definition of fun, borderless, and comically odd.
