Overseen by TV-animation veteran Margaret Loesch, the daily, half-hour educational cartoon series The Zula Patrol was set in the "Zulaverse," where dwelt a band of zany aliens who traversed the galaxy, getting in and out of trouble while learning a lot of valuable information about science and astronomy -- and not a few vital lessons about tolerance and problem solving. Bula was the diminutive, green-skinned leader of the Zula Patrol; Bula's crew included the pink-colored female spaceship pilot Zeeter, multi-eyed absentminded professor Multo, anthropomorphic flying dictionaries Wizzy and Wigg, and the crew's versatile shape-shifting animal mascot, Gorga. The principal villain was oval-headed Dark Truder, who sported a living toupee (and a female one to boot!) named Trixe. Described by its parent network PBS as "Intergalactic Brain Fuel," The Zula Patrol was first telecast in the U.S. on September 11, 2005.
