Odd Squad

19 episodes

A PBS KIDS live-action comedy in which child agents investigate outbreaks of "oddness," and the math is the case rather than a garnish. Agents measure exactly eight quarts with only a three-quart jar and a five-quart jar. They skip count by 2s, 5s and 10s to win the O Games, sort villains into a Venn diagram by what each one likes, and put a scrambled history back into sequence after a time-travel mistake. Episodes run 12 or 23 minutes, with the 66-minute Odd Squad: The Movie and the World Turned Odd special for a longer sitting. Grades K-4.
