We hear from families often about what an impact ODD SQUAD has had on them, and how much they enjoy watching it together, said Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Children's Media and Education, PBS. With ODD SQUAD: WORLD TURNED ODD, we hope kids and parents continue to laugh and learn together as Agents Otis and Olympia use math and problem-solving to face their newest challenge.
ODD SQUAD reaches 6.6 million viewers on-air*, and averages 20 million streams digitally** per month. Research has shown that ODD SQUAD has a positive effect on a variety of children's math skills, including algebraic thinking, numbers, operations, and more.
