Opening from the original Zoom.

ZOOM is an American educational television show, created almost entirely by children, which aired on PBS from January of 1972 to February of 1978. A new version of the show, also on PBS, premiered in 1999 and ended production in 2005. Both versions were produced by WGBH-TV in Boston. Christopher Sarson was ZOOM's creator and original producer (1972-1974).

ZOOM encouraged children to "turn off the TV and do it!" On the show, a rotating cast of seven kids (known as ZOOMers) performed various activities such as games, plays, poems, recipes, jokes, and science experiments, all suggested by viewer contributions. The performers in the original series were known for wearing striped rugby shirts, and for performing the show barefoot. The mail-in request became a pop culture reference for its musical exhortation to, "Write ZOOM, Z-Double-O-M, Box 3-5-0, Boston, Mass 0-2-1-3-4: send it to ZOOM!". There was also a language game on the show called Ubbi-Dubbi and another called Fannee Doolee.

ZOOM was a new kind of series when it premiered on January 3, 1972. Unlike other children's fare at the time, it was for the most part unscripted. Far from seeking to capitalize by making stars of the child actors, the contracts prohibited them from making any television appearances or doing commercials for three years after they left the show.

ZOOM was intended to inspire children to be active investigators, creators, and problem-solvers as well as introduce them to the principles of ethnic diversity. The show's ZOOMSci segment, for example, featured on the later incarnation, encouraged viewers to try the activities shown on ZOOM and to send in their results.

When ZOOM made a comeback in 1999, parents who had grown up watching the show could now share it with their own children, and found that it was very much the same as it had been in the 1970s. The theme song was similar, there was still Ubbi-Dubbi, and the ZOOMers continued to play games and perform skits suggested by other children. While the ZOOMers would occasionally appear barefoot for certain games and skits, the entire show was no longer performed barefoot. With the advent of the Internet, the "0-2-1-3-4" jingle was rarely sung, supplanted by one that emphasized "PBSKids, dot org!" Also, when reading aloud the names of contributors, the later version provided only first names and abbreviated surnames (e.g., "Paul T."), presumably as a compromise between crediting the children and meeting modern privacy expectations for child safety.

The show was last filmed during the summer of 2005, many episodes taking place off of the ZOOM set. The decision to cancel the show was largely due to falling ratings, with the last season's ratings down almost a fifth from the previous year. There is currently talk of putting ZOOM on either PBS Kids Sprout or a soon-to-be 24-hour digital PBS Kids Go! channel.

The first ZOOM series lasted six seasons (1972–1978) and featured 49 ZOOMers. The second ZOOM series lasted seven seasons (1999–2005) and featured 32 ZOOMers. At the end of every season of the second series, cast members who had grown too old were replaced by new cast members.

During the 1970s version of the series, WGBH never disclosed the ZOOMers' last names, which was likely part of the producers' policy of just using ordinary kids who would be likely to stay ordinary kids; this policy also included a contract, in which the ZOOMers would not appear on television for five years after leaving the show.

Theme song

1970s Version

(spoken)Cha cha cha, ZOOM!
Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom-a zoom!
We're gonna zoom-a, zoom-a, zoom-a zoom!
Everybody's movin' it, everybody's doin' it,
Everybody's writing the show, yeah!
So would you zoom, zoom, zoom-a zoom?
Come on and zoom-a zoom-a zoom-a zoom!
I'm (name of ZOOMer)!, etc.
Each introduction in the roll call is followed by a few quick slides of that particular ZOOMer in various poses (often in a silly fashion).
Who are you?
What do you do?

Come on and zoom-a zoom-a zoom-a zoom!

We're gonna teach you to fly high!
Come on and zoom!
Come on and zoom, zoom!
These last two lines were repeated until fading out. In the early seasons, after the kids left the stage in the closing credits, it was often replaced after a few times with an instrumental version.

Second Generation Version

Come on and Zoom, Come on and Zoom,
Come on and Zoom, Come on and Zoom,
Come on and Zoom, Zoom, Zoom-a, ZOOM!
ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM!
Come on and Zoom, You call the tune,
Come on and Zoom, We're starting soon,
Come and Zoom-a, Zoom-a, Zoom-a, ZOOM!
ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM,

And if you like what you see, turn off your TV and do it!

Merchandise

First Series

In 1974, A&M Records released an album of songs from the show entitled ZOOM (LP OCLC 3060311; cassette OCLC 18900529). The master number for the album was SP-3402. There were at least two books published for children that were based on the 1970s ZOOM series:

  • The ZOOM Catalog (ISBN 0394825322), published by Random House in 1972, featured the best stories and activities from the show;
  • Do a ZOOMdo, published by Little Brown in 1975, featured activities from the show.

In 1997, WGBH released the video and book set Best of the 70's and ZOOMers Revisited--Where Are They Now? (ISBN 1578072077).

Second Series

Three videos were released based on the show: Party with ZOOM (1999, ISBN 157807200X), The ZOOMers Video Special: The Making of ZOOM! (1999), and ZOOM: America's Kids Remember (2002).

Four books compiled by Amy E. Sklansky were published by Little, Brown and Company:

  • ZOOM Zingers (1999, ISBN 0316952613)
  • ZOOM Fun With Friends (1999, ISBN 0316952753)
  • ZOOMdos You Can Do! (2000, ISBN 0316952761)
  • ZOOMfun Outside (2000, ISBN 0316952788)

As always, all material in these books were submitted by the viewers.

References to ZOOM in popular culture

A shot from the music video for π.
  • In the Hard 'n Phirm music video for their song "π", they parody ZOOM in a program called ZAP. The kids are named Javier, Jessica, Steve, Susan, and twins Hector & Diego. The show is produced by "WHNP" (whose logo is a clear take-off on WGBH's famous "outline" logo) and is "funded by a grant from the Windsor Pneumatics Foundation". In the video, two unidentified wizards watch the kids do increasingly more bizarre activities, including spinning around on a mop and pretending to kill each other. A phony-looking robot appears, which leaves them enraptured. Near the end of the video, the kids and the robot confront the wizards, who vaporize Steve, Hector, and Diego with laser beams. Jessica reflects one of their lasers back with a mirror, and the robot destroys the other wizard. The three remaining kids are shrunken, and they jump into a portal in the wizard's book.
  • In a rare (for the time) cross-PBS parody, The Electric Company had a sketch called "BOOM", featuring the Electric Company cast in striped turtlenecks on a mockup of the ZOOM set. "BOOM" was intentionally less polished than most Electric Company sketches, to poke fun at ZOOMs unscripted format.
  • Similarly, SCTV had a regular segment called "Pre-Teen World" which featured the SCTV cast pretending to be preteens who were improvising a television program they wrote and produced themselves. Often, the 'unscripted' segments would turn into disasters as real life turned out to be less cheerful than the kids implied. This was largely a parody of ZOOM (including a parody of the 0-2-1-3-4 jingle) and similar local programs.
  • An episode of the series You Can't Do That on Television began with the cast members running up to camera singing "Come on and boom, boom, booma, boom," before an explosion erupts, causing them to choke on the ensuing smoke.
  • In one episode of the popular TV series Friends, Joey admits to having lied on his CV and also adds, "I wasn't one of the kids on ZOOM either."
  • A segment of Jonathan Caouette's film Tarnation describes an idea that a young Caouette had for a rock musical based on his life. His hypothetical cast included the cast of ZOOM as a chorus of children in foster care. During this segment, a montage of clips from movies and TV are shown, including a few from ZOOM.
  • In the sixth episode of the American version of Queer as Folk, Brian sees 17 year-olds Justin and Daphne at Club Babylon and exclaims, "Well, if it isn't the cast of ZOOM!".
