WMAQ Channel 5 - New Zoo Revue - "Tolerance" [1973] (Complete Broadcast, 1984) 📺

[@Bigeazy87]

Emmy Joe was quite a vision for a 1970s boy! She and Doug are still married!

[@wmbrown6]

And have retained their down-to-earth values, never went "Hollywood."

[@Clock_70]

😮WOWOWOWW

[@lindafromnevada2512]

She also made a facebook and KZbin accounts

[@sbyrstall]

I had a crush on Amy Joe.

[@bornwisedistruction]

I would wake up at 4 in the morning on Saturdays waiting on the sun to come up at 5 then run to the TV with my Bowl of cereal to watch this wonderful show God I miss being 7 years old!😭😭

[@Clock_70]

SAME HERE

Hey Mr Owl...How long does it take to get center of a Tootsie Roll Pop ? 😉

[@jaredjlinden]

The fact that Doug could land a beauty like Emily (Emmy Jo) gave hope to all of us nerds lol.

Brings back memories watching and wating for cartoons to start after!!

You always post QUALITY CONTENT! Thank you!

[@angelgrant944]

This was one of my favorite shows, I'd like to see the new zoo review come back as a regular program.

[@diamondtiara84]

Today they'd say Henrietta Hippo was being body shamed, calling Freddy the frog "not so smart" gives him a poor self-image, Charlie doesn't see Freddy and Henrietta as his equal, people in animal costumes is disrespectful to animals, etc.

[@martinr8278]

It’d be a flop. To much politics, cultural wokeness and trans whatever would have to be written in the story lines along with brainwashing kids to buy EVs as adults and enjoy child sniffing president Biden lol

[@BeliaLastes]

I was 4 years old when I was watching this this is such nostalgia 😊❤

[@alfonsogreen2722]

I used 2 watch this as a kid on channel 5 in NYC

[@sirrealistic5625]

Same. And then on WPIX channel 11 mid to late 70s in syndication.

[@sirrealistic5625]

This was definitely a syndicated repeat for 1984 as this was an early to mid 1970s show. Still better than practically all of the dreck for kids these days!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

True!

I watched it in '77. I was 17. Beat the Farm Report.

[@mariepavlov9144]

@@ChristopherSobieniak I can remember the New Zoo Revue when it was on the ABC station in my hometown (WYTV, Youngstown, Ohio) every Saturday Morning via syndication. It was on immediately after the syndicated Underdog cartoons.

[@Mark.G475]

I miss Bozo, Ray Rayner, Gigglesnort Hotel, Garfield Goose!

[@wmbrown6]

There are New Yorkers who are just as adamant about missing "The Magic Garden" (that show's hosts, Carole Demas and Paula Janis, are also treasured by fans). Ironically, in NYC WPIX ran both that show and "Gigglesnort Hotel" (despite it not originating the latter).

[@Mark.G475]

@@wmbrown6 Gigglesnort Hotel!! All Chicago!!😁 I lived in Northern New Jersey for a few years, Ridgewood. Remember the Million dollar Movie? My Dad was working for A&P corporate, that's gone too.

[@roxyabrooks864]

This is so glorious to see again! Thank you! ❤

[@RusstheTroubadour]

I think this was on either WGN or WFLD in its initial run ( 1972-77). Nearly 200 episodes were produced. Chuck Woolery played Mr Dingle in season 1.

[@wmbrown6]

WGN. Never WFLD. In fact it was the only Kaiser station NOT to have aired this show. Just as, in NYC, WNBC Channel 4 was the only NBC O&O NEVER to have aired "The Mike Douglas Show."

[@mdaze9753]

I loved this show, as a kid, along with HR Puffinstuff, The Bugaloos, Isis and The Land of the Lost 💗💗

[@AllenJones-w3p]

I too liked Joanna Cameron as Isis.

OMG does this show bring back memories. And the magic gardens when tv was awsome not like the crap that's on now xoxo

[@RusstheTroubadour]

19:36 The PSA w/ Daniel J Travanti and John Walsh for The Adam Walsh Center would lead to the creation of AMERICA'S MOST WANTED. Which premiered in February of 1988 on FOX.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Learned something today.

@vintagetvandexciting Nice.

[@OofusTwillip]

Henrietta Hippo was voiced by former radio actress Hazel Shermet.

[@bobbillings]

Hosts Doug Momary and Emily Peden and Charlie owl costume performer Sharon Baird still alive and well in 2023 at 76 and 78 years old and 79 respectively! Not to mention Chuck Woolery who played Mr. Dingle in season one doing well at 82.

Wow! I forget about this! Good old Days, 1970s, 1980s in Lagrange and Hinsdale IL. Always great to watch local TV.

[@zazelby]

When I was a tiny tiny tiny child, I loved this show. When I was a slightly less tiny child, I had no idea why.

It's so cool that Emmy Jo started singing in the band Deee-Lite

[@stevencroson4666]

I really, really, really, REALLY like Emmy Jo’s long, high, shiny, shiny, SHINY black boots!!!! They were my absolute favorites of all the ones she wore on the show!!!!

[@troynov1965]

Man I havent seen this show or even a clip of it in many many years

[@ken_danerdiest1]

The role of Mr. Dingle played by Chuck Woolery, because I saw his name in the credits.

[@wmbrown6]

At what time stamp in this clip? I'm curious. I do know two actors played Mr. Dingle. Now if it was Mr. Woolery as Mr. Dingle in this show, then Charlie the Owl's voice would've likely been Bob Holt.

I live in Schaumburg From 1960 - 1974 I was 16 when we left I remember this show I was older so I didn’t watch it WGN was my favorite TV station in Chicago With one exception WLS I run home after school to watch DARK SHADOWS

[@Mark.G475]

The five girls who lived next door to us in Lagrange loved that show! They also ran home after school to watch it. I was busy watching Adam West Batman and Spiderman and speed racer! Then outside to play kick the can or ride my Blue Schwinn Typhoon or Skateboard or run through all the neighbors backyards or go downtown to by 2 cent candies...

[@osiawideman4851]

When I was a little boy I watched this every morning

[@austinmanning850]

OMG it took me YEARS to figure out what the name of this was. I just found it recently I thought I dreamed the whole show up. My mom thought I was crazy when I use to tell her about watching a show that had a talking frog and owl. I use to wake up super early on Saturdays before everyone was up to watch it so no one knew what I was talking about. I’m so happy I finally found it so me and my son can watch it together when he’s old enough. Thank you for keeping this memory alive!!

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

Emmy Jo, mercy.🔥

[@AllenJones-w3p]

Thanks to KZbin. the NEW ZOO REVUE comes right at us once again!!!! Emily is still a cutie.

[@DanZero77]

In New York this was on WNEW channel 5 in the 80s EARLY in the morning right after the sign-on and news slides! 6am maybe 6:30!

[@wmbrown6]

Channel 5 carried this at least twice. It's probable that when this episode was produced (1973 or so), WPIX Channel 11 was airing it. I know it pingponged back and forth between the two stations at one point.

[@ninademci1500]

Could you imagine if Doug had said that it was a “‘Shrunken Head’”?

[@DickVanWrinkle]

I did like Emmy Jo though

[@wmbrown6]

More important, so did - and does - Doug. ;-)

[@davita4436]

Loved this show but I could never stand those human-sized "puppets." 'Banana Splits' was another one. They were a little scary - puppets shouldn't be as big as people :-)

[@ninademci1500]

According to Internet Movie Database (IMDb), Sharon Baird shared Charlie the Owl with William Callaway.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

One is in the puppet, the other the voice actor. Charlie had another voice actor in earlier episodes, Bob Holt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zoo_Revue

It clearly states this was a repeat many years later. It even says this episode's earliest airing in Chicago was 1973.

[@Kramden429]

"New Zoo Revue" originally ran in first-run syndication from 1972 to 1975.
