Wild Side Show (shortened to Wild Side for its second season) is a nature documentary series for children, which aired on Nickelodeon and later Noggin.[1] The show originally ran from 1992 to 1995 on Nickelodeon, with reruns from 1999 to 2002 on Noggin.[2] Segments from the series were also included as part of Noggin's Phred on Your Head Show.
The show focuses on up-close encounters with animals, both in zoos and in their natural habitats.[1] The producers wanted to avoid the style of a "nature show with a voice-over narration and no humans in sight," which is why the hosts were "so close to the animals, right next to their faces."[3] Most of the show was live-action, but short animated segments were also used to explain concepts and add humor.[3]
Wild Side Show ran for two seasons and 26 episodes in total.[4] The first season, hosted by Jessica Durante and Scott Tunnell, was taped at the San Diego Zoo.[5] The second season, hosted by Jillian Hirasawa and Gordon Michael Woolvett, was taped at the Toronto Zoo in Canada. Safari scenes were taped throughout southern Africa.[6] Some episodes visited different locations, like Yellowstone National Park.[7]
