Sid the Science Kid is an American computer-animated children’s television series on PBS Kids. It aired from September 1, 2008 to March 25, 2013, with a total of 66 half-hour episodes produced over two seasons, and lasted for four years.

Production began in January 2003 with 42 half-hour episodes of Sid the Science Kid having been ordered.

2 years after the series ended, a fully animated movie composed of 26 un-aired episodes of the show, called "Sid the Science Kid: Encyclopedia of Discovery" was made in 2015.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The animation while impressive for it's time for it's motion capture animation (as this was the second show to use it) didn't age well, as some of the character's faces can tend to look weird at times, especially for some moments in the show such as Sid saying "Breakfast Time!" while running towards the screen.
 * 2) Despite the title of the show being "Sid the Science Kid" many of the episodes do not really teach science to it's viewers. As most of it is pretty much about life-lessons instead.
 * 3) Most of the animation from the segments are pretty much recycled from previous episodes, most notably the "Looking for my friends" segment, but with the dialogue changed to focus on the subject of the episode.
 * 4) Some of the jokes featured in "Good Laughternoon" are pretty mediocre.
 * 5) Some of the voice acting while good, is pretty questionable as some of the kids sound more like adults rather than kids.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Great voice acting, despite some of them sounding pretty questionable.
 * 2) This show is the second show to use motion-capture animation, along with Donkey Kong Country.

Reception
The show received mixed reviews from viewers, as it got a 5.5 on IMdB.
