KidZone is a Canadian TV show for adolescents that aired on Knowledge in British Columbia from 1989 to 2001. The show is also notable for providing a start for several young stars, including Sarah Chalke, Devon Sawa, Erica Cerra, Jai West, Kea Wong and Taheer Mohamed.
KidZone initially began as a series of informative skits and interviews. Following the education mandate of the broadcaster, the show managed to present anti-smoking, safety and environmental issues with funding from provincial government agencies and private companies. The entire cast of the show were children, who acted in various sketches and portrayed journalists. At the age of 12, Chalke was the program's environmental reporter.
One of the recurring sketches on KidZone was Kerrisdale V6M 1Z6, which used a style similar to Beverly Hills, 90210 and Degrassi Junior High to present youth issues. Eventually, KidZone shifted away from its journalistic style and became a docudrama about high school based on the Kerrisdale sketch. This version of the show also aired in the United States as Kerrisdale High.
I saw three ships come sailing by
Come sailing by, come sailing by
I saw three ships come sailing by
On New Years day in the morning
And what do you think was in them then?
Was in them then, was in them then
And what do you think was in them then?
On New Years day in the morning
Three pretty girls were in them then
Were in them then, were in them then
Three pretty girls were in them then
On New Years day in the morning
One could whistle another could sing
And the other could play on the violin
Such a joy was there at my wedding
On New Years day in the morning
I saw three ships come sailing by
Come sailing by, come sailing by
I saw three ships come sailing by
