Zardip's Search for Healthy Wellness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zardip's Search for Healthy Wellness was an educational Canadian television show from the 1980s intended to teach public health messages to schoolchildren. Zardip Pacific, played by Keram Malicki-Sánchez, is an alien who takes the form of a boy and ventures to Earth to report the habits of humans to his home planet. He befriends a group of teenagers, who instruct their new and ignorant friend on topics ranging from nutrition to exercise, all the while ignorant of Zardip's true identity.

The show has a cult following among Canadians who attended grade school in the late 1980s and early 1990s, due to memories of watching the videocassettes in class, or watching the shows as they aired on TVOntario. The material is currently used by the Girrawheen Senior High School and up until April 2008, the Tasmanian Ministry of Education
