Both versions were produced by WGBH-TV in Boston. For the radio station specifically see WGBH (FM. WGBH is a non-commercial Television and Radio broadcast service located 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 cast of (usually) seven kids (known as ZOOMers) performed various activities such as games, plays, poems, recipes, jokes, and science experiments, all suggested by viewer contributions. CHILD syndrome (or congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform erythroderma and limb defects) is a genetic disorder The performers in the original series were known for wearing striped rugby shirts and jeans, and for performing the show barefoot. Rugby football (usually just " rugby " may refer to a number of sports through history descended from a common form of Football developed at Rugby School For people with the name Barefoot see Barefoot (surname Going barefoot (also barefoot ed) means for a person not to use or The mail-in request became a pop culture reference for its music 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. A language game (also called secret language or ludling) is a system of manipulating spoken words to render them incomprehensible to the untrained ear Ubbi Dubbi (also called Pig Greek or Double Dutch) is a language game spoken with English Fannee Doolee is a fictitious girl acted in the playhouse by the ZOOMers on ZOOM.

ZOOM was a new kind of series when it premiered on January 3, 1972. Events 1431 - Joan of Arc is handed over to the Bishop Pierre Cauchon. Year 1972 ( MCMLXXII) was a Leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. 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 1997, 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. Year 1997 ( MCMXCVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar The theme song was similar, there was still Ubbi-Dubbi, and the ZOOMers continued to play games and perform skits suggested by other children. Ubbi Dubbi (also called Pig Greek or Double Dutch) is a language game spoken with English 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 taped during the summer of 2004, many episodes taking place off of the ZOOM set. The decision to cancel the show was largely due to failing 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 soon-to-be 24-hour digital PBS Kids Go! channel. PBS KIDS Sprout (sometimes

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, and allowing the viewers to more easily identify with the ZOOMers; this policy also included a contract, in which the ZOOMers would not appear on television for three years after leaving the show.

Listed below are some cast members' full names which have come to light in later years.

Theme Song

2008Version

"(games) go, go, go, ZOOM!"
"Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom-a zoom!"
"We're gonna zoom, zoom, zoom-a zoom!"
"Everybody's doin' it, everybody's movin' it,"
"Everybody's having a ball, 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?"
"How are you?"
"Let's hear from you. . . "
"We need you!"
"We're gonna zoom, zoom zoom-a zoom!"
"Come on and zoom-a zoom-a zoom-a zoom!"
"Come on, give it a try. "
"We're gonna show you just why,"
"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.
