Zardip's Search for Healthy Wellness
Zardip's Search for Healthy Wellness was a Canadian educational television show from the 1980s intended to teach public health messages to children. Zardip Pacific, played by Keram Malicki-Sánchez, is an alien from a planet whose inhabitants are becoming fully sick as they do not know how to live a healthy lifestyle. He takes the form of a flatulent 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, toilet etiquette to exercise, all the while unaware of Zardip's sinister identity.
