Sid the Science Kid is a PBS Kids CGI animated series that ran from 2008-2013. The show revolves around a kid name Sid, who uses stand up comedy to answer science related questions that other kids ask with help from his teacher, family and his other classmates May, Gerald, and Gabriela.

Sid's was also originally named Josh and had a much different design compared to the final show. However, a pilot was never specifically confirmed in any early information for the show.
