Omg being 28 sucks man!!! This is so nostalgic I want to cry!! I miss you childhood, please come back!!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🏾💜

Tatianna Forrest I know how you feel. I just turned 26.

[@Crimsonterminator100]

I'm feeling the same I wish shows like this still existed

[@brittanyschettino9666]

I just turned 25!!!!! I used to watch this religiously everyday after school!!!! Pablo and Kenny were my homeboys back in the day

[@venwave]

I know this was posted a year ago, but I'm actually all about this. Childhood is a state of mind, not just a space in time. We're very fortunate that we have videos as records of our time being a child to remind us how we can approach life even as an adult.

[@jordantbryant9861]

Being 28 doesnt suck lbvs. I got my own crib. A edumacation. A good job for my standards lol is coo to reminiscebut fuck being a child. Lbvs

[@Tazrahzeljr]

Man this show saved me so many rainy days because we didnt have cable growing up lol Thank you ZOOM so many memories!

[@zoominums3]

Any chance you have any episodes from this season on tape?

[@femineity]

They really need to bring this show back. It was a simple show that showed kids have fun and using they're imagination full of educational value.

[@christinab.2864]

Femineity KZbin did have a channel that like zoom for adults. But after I said brook left she the one who does the do’s (art projects) thankfully no science projects thank god adults don’t care science who cares?

[@Swiftdragoon1997]

Memories. Sweet memories. This show is childhood.

[@birdofprey1266]

Seasons 1 and 2 definitely. Season 3 is good also even if it isn't "classic" ZOOM. Season 4 and 5 were ok but not my favorites.

[@Swiftdragoon1997]

+FamilyGuyFanSince2008 I agree.

[@Asukenick]

And 6 and 7 still have their moments. I love every season.

[@alisonwalker9078]

I remember Zoom, The Magic School Bus, and Reading Rainbow from my elementary days.

[@LittleMissDeath]

Showing these to my future kids, every day after school, with a snack of peanut butter crackers and apple juice, just like I did. 💜

[@blaaaah6425]

This is pure memories! I remember waiting for this show to come on as a little kid I loved watching this and all their cool crafts and games to play 😭 now a days we don’t even see this or kids wanting to go out and play 😒 they should bring this show back 😇

[@MiscellaneousVariety]

So retro, Don't mind me just taking a trip down memory lane, more kids need stuff like this nowadays.

I don't think I'll ever forget that 02134 is the zip code for Boston, Mass. Also, I hope Robbie got his hot air balloon license.

[@Tinyman12]

HI everyone. I am 56 (ya 56) and I also got to watch the original series in the 70s and I like both versions. I got ZOOM Back to the 70's" on DVD and was going back to when I watched it first hand. You know Caroline (HI CAROLINE) was on more seasons than any ZOOMER in the original and the later version. I felt like I am prehistoric when the kids in the later version say mention that your parents probably watched the original shows. I always laughed at that since I personally watched both versions. :D I know a lot older people dont like revealing their age but with me I am 56 and sometimes I like watching shows like ZOOM which is geared toward kids and teens which I was during the original shows. OK That's all folks. Bye for now.

[@Tinyman12]

Hi Clover. Looks like I am the oldest one that posted in this group of comments. If you read my earlier post I am 56 (which makes me old enough to be your father) and I enjoyed both versions of Zoom. I also got the DVD "Zoom:The best of the 70's and I remember some of the skits they had showed. :D If that makes you feel older then I must be prehistoric and had a dinosaur as a pet. :D Enjoy your day.

[@Asukenick]

I feel this show is for everyone. I didn't watch it much as a kid. But I love it now.

[@birdofprey1266]

Indeed. I didn't see Peep and the Big Wide World (another WGBY show) until I was almost 13 and still love it.

[@Jerome4tification]

what happened to him

[@MsLAD1988]

I miss this show😢. This was my favorite show growing up as a child. I wonder why they stop airing this show?

[@robertjmusson]

The same reason that they don't air Saturday morning cartoons anymore.....some people just don't believe that kids should be allowed to be kids anymore. It's really sad...

[@Kidsmtvslvback]

Another reason are the interest in other shows that come on the air and the kids for each generation.

[@linalooluv]

I used to watch this so much :) Lol I had a crush on all of the guys

[@broadwaymike92]

24:01 - Jared Nathan was the most versatile OG Zoomer out there!!! He can do anything even a great voiceover announcer. Still chokes me that he's no longer with us and his life was taken too soon. He would have SKYROCKETING to global stardom winning being an EGOT winner!!! RIP.

[@GamingBelladonna229]

He probably would have been a professional actor if he didn’t pass…..😢

[@justinpocsik5177]

I love this show thanks for every episode

[@ドラゴンボール_おたく]

I loved this show when it was on the air it was fun, educational, and I memorized one of Boston's zip codes. One thing I didn't like was that they kept changing the cast every season.

[@Asukenick]

You get used to it though.

[@birdofprey1266]

I know but it was still sad how some ZOOMers were just taken off when they had more greatness ahead. Jared really deserved another season.

[@Asukenick]

***** He really did.

[@Swiftdragoon1997]

I agree.

[@birdofprey1266]

David Sukenick Ray as well. I would have prefered him to Buzz in season 3.

[@notsure6187]

Connecticut Public Television. grew up with that logo, and had WGBH channel 2. ☺

aw man im 25 and i remember watching this with my grandpa back in 99-02

[@birdofprey1266]

It's funny that Alisa's letter is about thanksgiving, since I think I first saw this episode when it aired the day before thanksgiving in 1999. What's more, I likely went to my aunt's house for it that year!

Wow thank you so much for these Zoom episodes. When I came home from school I grabbed a snack and turned on PBS to watch Zoom everyday Monday through Friday. But now thanks to you I can watch Zoom everyday 7 days a week. Man I wish we can go back to the good old days. Subbed Zoomfan1 👍🤗❤

I first started watching Zoom during the first season. I stopped watching the show after the fifth season..... This show was amazing........

Yeah but this is still my least favorite although 605 comes close.

This is 1000,000 times better than 605 imo, but at least that was the closest Shing got to getting to make a cake.

[@TheREALMaximan]

Here's my conclusion after watching many season 1 videos: Jared: A goofball. Very charismatic. Silly. Keiko: Always was giggling and laughing. Always happy and smiling. She seemed to act natural and most like herself. Lynese: A great attitude. Funny. Acted well. A good leader. Zoe: Smart. Good stage presence. Confident. Competitive and didn't like losing. David: Little and fun. Always was the first to be out in a game. But he was never a sore loser. Alisa: Very kind. Smart. Competitive. Spoke very soft. Pablo: super chill. worked well with all of them. Listened to others well. Seemed like he and Jared were good friends.

[@Asukenick]

therealmaximan Zoe was not a sore loser. But everyone is sometimes. And Jared is a saint.

[@TheREALMaximan]

Adam Sukenick yeah. She's just super competitive

[@Asukenick]

therealmaximan Not really. But everyone is sometimes. Either way she's awesome and I hate that people say horrible stuff about her.

[@TheREALMaximan]

Adam Sukenick Yes. I agree! People are way too mean about her and it's not nice.

[@o.m.1938]

therealmaximan That's why David should've stayed in season 2 instead of Claudio. I'm sure David would've made improvements.

[@Asukenick]

Since Jared turned 13 in August of 98 I wonder if he had his bar mitzvah while he was filming this? He might have put it on hold cause he was so busy or maybe he studied between takes.

[@birdofprey1266]

Oh wow I never even thought of that!

Interesting. I prefer the other seasons beginning with two ZOOMers holding the zoom sign (Used except in 1 and 3). I also thought the signs looked smaller this season. I do like the music used between nsf & "and" only used in s1 though.

[@birdofprey1266]

ZOOMfan1 Cool. I didn't realize some music wasn't used in other seasons. I think 2 is obviously second best, like 3 because of it's' similarities to this season but don't like how they shortened it, don't like 4 as much (they shortened it too), think 5 is good, don't like 6, and really hate 7 (it's too cartoony and cheesy!)
