Never before available on video, now you can relive your favorite bits from ZOOM, the super-hot Emmy award-winning PBS kids' show from the 70's. As fresh as ever, kids of the 90's will love it too! In the first TV series inspired, written and performed by kids, ZOOMers—a cast of ordinary kids—used material submitted by viewers to act out plays, talk openly about their lives, experiment with games and cooking, sing, dance, and of course have fun. From Ubbi-Dubbi (a language that drove some teachers crazy when groups of kids used it at school) to ZOOMraps, ZOOMdos to Fannee Doolees, experience the sheer joy of ZOOM all over again. Featured segments include original musical numbers like ZOOMers in Wonderland and John Henry, a visit with a girls ice hockey team, making Stained Glass Cookies, creating the ultimate sandwich, and games like Story Concentration. If the most musical zip code in history, 0-2-1-3-4, means something special to you, then experience the memories of ZOOM, and remember what it was like to be a kid in the 70's. And be sure to tune in to the new ZOOM, on public television. The show with 'the most musical zip code in history' (anyone born in the U.S. between 1965 and 1970 can reel off '0-2-1-3-4' in song) has collected some moments from the original six seasons (the show has been remade for the '90s) in Zoom: Best of the 70's. While Zoom is certainly a show for children, this retrospective is definitely geared more for Gen-X nostalgia than for the youth of today. With the Zoom Raps (no, not a musical number, but a discussion group) about funding for girls sports (in the days when Title IX was a hot topic), the funky hair styles, and the muted sets, memories of Big Wheels and bell-bottoms will come flooding back. While this is a fun venture back in time, unfortunately too much of the 40-minute video is spent on showing the opening numbers and cast from every season and not enough time with Fannee Doolees ('Fannee Doolee hates to read, but loves a good book') and Merry Macs ('Miss Merry Mac, Mac, Mac, all dressed in black, black, black'). But 'Zoomers in Wonderland' and 'John Henry,' as well as the fantastical plays and Zoom Dos, make this worthwhile. One caveat: apparently one must be under the age of 12 to understand Ubbi-Dubbi. This formerly fluent reviewer found she could barely understand every fourth word. --Jenny Brown Customers who bought this item also bought The Best of the Best of Electric Company The Best of The Electric Company Zoom - Party with Zoom Schoolhouse Rock! (Special 30th Anniversary Edition) Sesame Street - Old School, Vol. 1 (1969-1974) Customer Reviews for: Zoom - Best of the 70's Rating - Need More of These Shows! I believe the public broadcasting system should release entire episodes of the original ZOOM series from 1972 - 1976. I also would like the television industry to consider a network channel dedicated to just 70s Childrens' programming ( The Magic Garden, New Zoo Revue, Electric Company, Romparoom, Kid Power (Wee Pals)etc. Boomerang and TVLand are a good start but are missing this scope in particular. These shows are a refreshing look-back to when you could be an aware, thinking individual and not get crammed ... Read More Rating - It's a very good show I used to watch, and WBGH, thanks for the tape. Please WBGH, Release all the Episodes! WBGH and PBS, thanks for putting out this videotape. I'd really love it if you could release all the 70's Zoom Episodes. That would be so incredible. Please put them out as Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, and so on and so on. But it's an incredible tape to see and it brought back nice situations and memories to remember. Thanks for putting this tape out and I appreciate it. Thanks. Rating - Excellent Retrospective Anyone who grew up watching Zoom in the 70's will find this video a thoroughly enjoyable trek down memory lane that stands up to repeated viewings. For kids who have never seen it, you will not be disappointed! Games, raps, Zoom-dos, musical numbers, ubbi dubbi, zoom guests, Fannee Doolee's, and finally, the complete opening theme of all 6 seasons are all here. Thank you, WBGH, for releasing this excellent retrospective, but don't stop now - - please release some complete episodes, especially from the first three seasons (I thought ... Read More Rating - Great Memories This brings back such wonderful memories! The video is an outstanding collection of clips from the hit 70's TV show - - the first show ever made for kids by kids. I only hope that WGBH releases more editions - - I would very much like to see something akin to "the best of season 1" or "the best musical numbers", etc. - - what we have so far just whets the appetite! I've now seen it many times and am thoroughly entertained by each viewing. And - - surprise bonus - - my 18-month old son can't get enough of it! see more reviews See all movies starring David Alberico, Nicholas Butterworth, Mike Dean, John Lathan, Danny McGrath
