Everytime I see anything made with latex, my mind immediately says "Zoey from Zoom can't touch that because she's allergic". That one episode where she could only watch/referee a game involving latex balloons really got a grip on my brain and hasn't let go. It's a core memory, idk.

The funniest times were when we were on vacation or something, and be talking complete gibberish with each other to annoy my mom, and she wouldn't believe we could understand each other (which most of the time we weren't even actually saying anything) and on the spot we would come up with a story about what we were talking about. Good times man. Good times.

And I very distinctly remember busting out some of the science experiments they did for class projects too

Amazing, I respect how Scott seems just excited about most of this now as when he was a kid

I know I watched this show a lot as a kid, but I could never remember much of anything from the show other than the theme - but when you showed the clip with the ping pong ball and hairdryer the vivid memory of my sister and I doing that as a kid after seeing them do it on Zoom came back to me lol

The 'in the field' segment was just way funnier than I expected it to be

This is such a wholesome video. As someone who grew up being an ESL student who also didn’t have cable PBS and Zoom made an impact on my life too. I remember watching episodes being so interested even when I didn’t fully understand what was being said. I can say it backed up my interest in learning and helped nurture my curiosity all while helping me learn English.

This show was one of the most impactful things in my life. The fact that Kaleigh played the saxophone made me fall in love with it, and that wound up being the instrument I chose going into middle school band a couple years later. Now, fast forward 20+ years, I am a middle school band teacher and it all started with Zoom. Thanks for this video, Scott.

One on my most distinct childhood memory was trying out the zoom segment where they created a contraption to turn the bedroom light on and off while still in bed with string, straws, and tape.

I remember doing a water drop experiment from zoom, you'd put a penny on top of a cup upside-down, and see how many drops of water you could put on the coin until it spilled over. It was surprisingly a lot more than you'd think because of surface tension.

Ok so I tried to put on subtitles to listen in on what Scott was talking about when he was balancing the ball with the hair dryer and it said [Applause]😂

The segment that sticks in my head the most, besides the Arthur/Zoom crossover, is the science experiment where they test what surfaces water can run down, I guess? They compared something smooth to something fibrous like rope and found that it runs down your arm really well because it’s a combination of both. I didn’t realize how much this show still affects my life until now. Tonight I went out for a burger and grabbed an ice cube from my cup and rubbed it in my hands to melt it and clean the sauce off. It’s from a game on the show where the kids race to melt an ice cube! Some of my favorite bits in other pbs shows were my favorite because they reminded me of zoom, like cyberchase for real, and the Arthur segments. Harry and Bianca were so cool to me, and I remember watching Arthur bits like the creator teaching you to draw characters, a segment where blind kids make cookies at school, and I still remember the difference between the less-than and greater-than symbols because of an Arthur clip where a kid’s nickname in class was Less-than-ewis because his name was Lewis, and the less-than sign faces the same direction as an L. And holy crap, I just remembered Spork and Foon! I’m gonna be up all night looking at pbs clips. What have you done to me, Scott…

@@vykanismajoris7984 I've been trying for the past half hour but my comments keep getting deleted for some reason but to find the reunion just search wgbh zoom into action, there should be a playlist that has the reunion livestreams that wgbh held back in 2020 with the 70s and 90s zoomers. It also includes some new videos that the zoomers filmed where they make some of the stuff they made back on the show. It's actually pretty cool.

Same, it was a dream to be on the show!

You need to know that Zoom was my FAVORITE show. I had the biggest crush on Garrett. When Facebook became a thing, I found Garrett and messaged him. This was like 2007 or 2008. He blocked me... but I still consider that a win because I know he saw the message. 🥹 Garrett, if you read this, I'm not creepy I swear.

FREAKIN. FINALLY. I bring this show up whenever I talk about nostalgic things and NOBODY REMEMBERS IT OR HAS EVEN HEARD ABOUT IT. I felt like I've been gaslit for years or like this show only came on in my state or whatever. Thank you for talking about it, love your stuff man.

I LOVED zoom as a kid. I would make the recipes and try the crafts. I always thought the kids were so cool and wanted to be them. They were the “big kids.” Edit: I had cable lol

Zoom was an amazing show. I do think we zoomers think differently. I appreciate how they just let the kids figure it out. We often underestimate our kids' abilities. This is a good reminder that I need to have my kids watch this show.

Yes!! I loved this show so much!! No one around me remembers it. I was a homeschooled Christian kid with no cable TV, so we watched the heck out of PBS.

I can't believe I never thought about this show since childhood till I saw this video. Thanks man, this was a very welcome blast from the past.

The pure joy Scott gets from recreating these skits is the one thing I didn't know I needed today but glad I got

I've never heard of this show cause I'm not from the US. But I agree, these selfmake art and science shows were the best. I loved ArtAttack and Fingertips as a kid!

The fact that you seem to have a ZOOM shirt in every color, is making me envious. 😂

Buzz was a bad ass, you see how quickly he just ducked his way through that hoolahoop?

I used to love Zoom as a kid! It's been 20 years and I will still say "Boston, Mass 🎶0-2-1-3-4🎶 send it to ZOOM!" for no reason.. Like Scott, I too had no cable until my teens, and these shows were a staple of my childhood. My mom will bring up things that I did as a kid and I don't remember them, then I watch a video like this and it all comes rushing back! Great memories!

Scott you having a blast trying out stuff with pure child like joy is making this the most wholesome video. I completely forgot how my childhood was shaped by Zoom. It's why I love science and what got me to start baking. They also had a part where you could mail suggestions for things to do and I think I sent a letter once a week. What a blast from the past. Also my brother could speak the kids zoom language thing and annoyed everyone with it. It was banned in my house at some point iirc lol

This show was also a huge part of my childhood since I too grew up without cable. One segment that would occasionally come up was “Zoom Chat” and I forget if it’s the same as the “Fan mail” segment. Anyway, I recall that sometimes they would tackle topics that were a bit more serious, such as parents going through divorces, racism and other similar topics. This show really had a lot to offer for kids

I so badly wanted to be one of the kids on that show when I was a kid. It was so cool to see all these things you could do and make.

Was so excited to see this video, I LOVED this show as a kid. Every once in a while I still get the theme song stuck in my head.

I love that we grew up around the same time and about the same way. Can very much relate with all of this. Zoom came on after Cyber Chase, but my mom hated the theme song so much that she didnt let us watch it. missed out on a gem

A few fun facts on this series: Caroline & Kenny guest starred in an Arthur segment One zoomer name Taylor (from the last season), was on Fetch w/Ruff Ruffman season 1. It was another show on PBS In one episode of Big Bang Theory, while Leonard & Sheldon wer speaking klingon, Penny & Amy were speaking ubbi dubbi

I watched the ones they played in the 2000s, like Arthur, Cyberchase, Word girl, Martha speaks, Clifford & Puppy Days (original version), Wild Kratts, Super why, Dinosaur train, Word world (if that was on pbs...not entirely sure), Sesame street, Curious George, I barely watched Fetch, but I remember it, Rollie pollie Ollie, Angelina Ballerina, Thomas the Tank Engine, And then some others like: The Magic School Bus, The big comfy couch (I watched it afterwards, but it apparently played on pbs..same thing with Sagwa and Maya and Miguel..the theme song is engraved in my memory-), JJ the Jetplane, Noddy, Dragon tales, Shining Time Station, Barney, The Electric Company (I just know the logo), Teletubbies, Pocoyo, Kidsongs (w/ the biggles), Theodore Tugboat...there's probably more I also watched some of the newer shows

I remember watching Curious George, WordGirl, and Martha Speaks as background noise sometimes in my high school/college years those shows are so witty, and nostalgic even though there were after my time.

I was a PBS kid that LOVED Zoom. When I was like 6 or 7, some of the Zoom kids hosted an event at the children's museum and me + my sister got to go and make crafts with them!! It was awesome, one of the highlights of my childhood

Man this brings back so many memories! You know how Disney Channel has interstitials like Pass the Plate and Friends for Change? PBS Kids had some like that too... mainly they were animated shorts about grammar and shit but there are a few that are pure nightmare fuel. Like there was this one short where you get to see food dancing around in a boy's stomach. I am not making this up, but I wish I were...

Scott always seems to upload when I’m at my most bored. Lord, protect this great, great man

I actually really appreciate you saying this is "enriching & wholesome for your kids", bc I just had a son. 😊 I'm going to note this down!! He's only 9 months old, but like they say, it's flying by. 😳 Also I had to immediately like the video when at 9:00 you unlocked that doorway trick memory for me! 🤣🤣 omg, I'd forgotten all about that! Your vids are so wholesome 🥺 all while being genuinely funny. Thanks, Scott! 😁 (also a fellow VBS kid 😂🙏🏻)

Definitely track down episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for your son too! I don't remember there being much in the way of activities for children to do, but there's nothing wrong with a show where a softspoken man learns how crayons are made, or speaks frankly but kindly about the death of a pet, or speaks to a boy who uses an electric wheelchair in a normal way - not like "oh we should treat people like this with sympathy because it's so sad", but also not in a way that completely ignores the obvious impairment the boy has.

I also recommend “Fetch with ruff ruff man”, it’s a very good show, it’s educational and entertaining! (It also features an animated dog!)

Bro I was willing to move to Boston, MA just so I could apply to be on the show.

Just have to say, I had to click back on the video and go all the way to the end, again, to find out if you said, "By viewers, like you." I absolutely loved that show. I, too, didn't have cable when I was a kid and Zoom was awesome. I did a lot of the experiments when I was younger and, honestly, I had some old DIY slime that did not turn out okay, like 2 weeks ago and made the cornstarch and water and added some color from the slime kit to satisfy my slime need. Lol! I'll be 30 in August. Needless to say, I think about this show a lot. I remember how they used to sing their P.O. Box, too, so you could send stuff in. Super awesome show that totally got the creative juices flowing! Thanks for this throwback, I often have thought of this and been like, "hmm, I wonder if anyone else remembers this." Glad to know I'm not the only one.

I always loved how Zoom started in the 70's, so my mom remembers watching it, and then I also have memories watching it myself. I will never not have the urge to sing the theme song whenever the word "zoom" is mentioned, like some kind of Pavlovian response.

My brothers and I also grew up without cable and absolutely loved PBS and Zoom. I remember they had this chip recipe on zoom where they took Tostitos chips with pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese (it’s different than nachos I swear) and then microwaved it and we were absolute amazed by it. Today we still make it and only refer to it as “the recipe”.

Zoom was my jam!! I loved the craft segments. I remember making the corn starch, water, and food dye slime! This brought back so many great memories

9:17 his pure amazement with the doorway thing is hilarious

Omg...instant nostalgia. I watched zoom daily. I had a picture of Kenny in my Lisa Frank purse, and i said he was my boyfriend who lived in my old state when I moved. 😅

You clearly put so much effort into these vids and it’s so worth it. This was hilarious and nostalgic, thank you sm.

My friends and I watched this in high school and it was hilarious. We all loved Buzz. "I'm Buzz ba-dum-ba-dum-dum!"

I also didn't have cable and also obsessed over this show. Zoom taught me how to make potato chips. "Come on and Zoom-ah-zoom-ah-zoom-ah-zoom" still comes out in regular conversation. As does "ZMAIL, Send it to Zoom!" Man. I just got yanked into my childhood. So many people don't even know this show existed and like, thanks, man.

I’ve been having a very anxious week due to a medical issue but Scott’s dancing to the Zoom theme song made me belly laugh for the first time in a few days. Thank you ❤️ The bit was 100% worth it
