This is apparently a pilot episode for the original series.

I love the original sh0w!!

I don't know if Nina tried to be a singer but I'm sure that song she performed would have done well.

I remember the original Zoom on PBS. The show was by kids for kids and also featured a secret language called Ubbi Dubbi. Even though I never saw the pilot but I might, now that I know that it's on the web. I'm sure it has the familiar closing "That's Zoom Z-Double-O-M! Box 350, Boston Mass 0-2-1-3-4."

Anyone see the 2nd zoom that came out years later??

YUK!!!

I think the 2nd version was pretty good even is it wasn't like the original so please.


anyway I couldn't pass this one up.

Very good version of "I Believe In Music and funny to see the camera men.

Anyone know the name of the music used in the canoe film?

I'm sure it wasn't original to the film.

I wonder why they didn't have any song performances in the later ZOOM?


Also while I don't remember this precisely, I once looked in a 1974 Chicago Tribune paper and at the time WTTW was airing ZOOM and 6:30 PM with The Electric Company at 6 PM.

I would have never thought they would have aired any children's programming at that time.

Perhaps they thought these shows were good for family viewing and I wonder if any other PBS stations were doing this?
