Zula Patrol
A group of animated aliens travel the galaxies to learn new and exciting things about science and space exploration. The series, targeted to pre-kindergarteners through third-graders, delivers both astronomy-based science education (orbits, eclipses, moon phases, asteroids, comets, gravity), as well as character- building lessons. The Zula Patrol, stationed in the far reaches of outer space on the bright orange planet Zula. The group, always on the lookout for the villain Dark Truder & his toupee-wearing sidekick Traxie, includes: Bula, the fearless captain and intrepid explorer; his co-pilot Zeeter, a wild space jockey in her own right; Multo, an intergalactic absent-minded professor; Gorga, a loyal puppy-sized pet with amazing tranformative abilities, and Wizzy & Wigg, a cosmic pair of flying dictionaries.

However it's the imperfect Larvi who inadvertently gives them the pieces needed to build a rocket - the only true way to get to space. Also: After Gorga snorts up Wizzy's and Wigg's toy box full of toys, Multo proposes that they make a solar sail kite to play with instead, and teaches them all about solar sails. Then a Zula Patrol fan (Dark Truder in disguise) calls to compliment the ZP on their new billboard on a distant asteroid. Our heroes get suspicious -- the Zula Patrol doesn't advertise. When they fly up to the asteroid to investigate, they discover it's a trap! Pirate Truder and his robot crew steal their ship, and the Zula Patrollers are left stranded on the asteroid. But Wizzy and Wigg use their new knowledge of solar sails to come up with a solution -- a "lifeboat" using the shiny foil of the billboard as a solar sail.

Dark Truder returns to his roots by starting small to jumpstart his career in villainy. He pretends to be the mascot of a water theme park, which he ruins when he replaces the water with a gooey substance called Blub-Glub. Thankfully, the Zula Patrollers happen to be enjoying the park at the time, and they use their knowledge of water to put an end to Truder's scheme, and save the water supply on Zula. Our heroes learn not to take something as wonderful and as necessary as water, for granted. Also: When Zeeter finds a lone flower on a previously unexplored island on Zula, she wants to save it by bringing it home. But when she accidentally leaves the lid off of its contained environment, the flower must venture out for water.
