We’re big fans of The Zula Patrol. Such big fans, in fact, that we decided to devote this week’s entire newsletter to the animated half-hour show which has been called “the Sesame Street of outerspace.” If you haven’t yet watched the high-flying adventures of Multo, Gorga, Zeeter, et al, keep reading. We’re pretty sure we can convince you to give it a try.

(And don’t forget to tune in for the next issue of Smart News, when we’ll play the field of kids’ TV again.)

Coming to a Theater Near You
Start making room in your purse for a bag of Newman’s Own popcorn and a couple of organic juice boxes. On Saturday, March 29, The Zula Patrol: Animal Adventures in Space! – five never-before-seen episodes – will premiere in over 300 theaters around the country for one day only. (And at the kid-friendly time of 10:00 a.m.) Apparently, the Zula Patrollers will search for stolen frog eggs, help restore life in the canyon on Zula, solve a mystery of missing honey, and tunnel through dirt with some worm boot camp comrades to save their little wormy ecosystem.
