The series was conceived in 2005 by Derevlany, who later developed and wrote an hour-long TV film for Teletoon. Pleased with the results, the company greenlit Wayside for 25 episodes in 2007. The series was later commissioned to air in the United States on Nickelodeon during the summer of 2007 before being pulled from the network's lineup and returning late in the year. Though Nelvana.com's listing for the show listed plans for up to 39 episodes, production ceased in 2008 for both countries, and any official word on continuation has yet to be announced. Wayside has also been nominated for a "Best TV Series for Children" at the 2008 Cartoons on the Bay award ceremony. Despite favorable critical reception, praising the animation and surreal humor, the series has also received negative criticism, including unfavorable comparisons for its differences from the Sideways Stories book series. During it's time on the air, serveral pieces of tie-in media were been released, including a DVD release of the pilot feature under the title Wayside: The Movie, released on September 25, 2007, and a 2-Disc DVD of the first season, released on August 17, 2008.
