Revision as of 13:20, 1 October 2023
Zoom was a live-action children's series that aired from January 4th, 1999, to May 6th, 2005, produced by WGBH (now GBH) that aired on PBS. It was a revival of another live-action series of the same name that aired from 1972-1978. The show is in the same vain as other popular children's shows that aired on PBS like Sesame Street and The Electric Company, but its cast is made up of kids ages 8 and up and perform various activities like games, plays, poems, songs, and would occasionally start conversations on various topics like prejudice and hospitals, with most topics being submitted by the home audience. The revival became a ratings winner for PBS and switched to the channel's children's block "PBS Kids" halfway through the show's first season. The revival lasted 7 seasons with 200 episodes (outliving its precursor in episode length), ending in May 2005 due to poor ratings.[1]
Availability
The revival only saw four home media releases in the form of four VHS tapes that were released between 1999 and 2002. After PBS Kids stopped rerunning the show in 2007, a large majority of the show's run has never been seen since and is mostly lost.
As of October 2023, all episodes from seasons 2-7 and 16 episodes from season 1 have been found and uploaded onto YouTube. 14 from the first season were uploaded by YouTube user ZOOMFan1 and 2 more by Facebook user Nathan Ng.
Uploads of Season 1
By the time ZOOMFan1 started watching, season 1 would only be syndicated once more from December 2002 to January 2003 and episodes 105-133 that were originally a part of the season would be skipped over. In addition, he accidentally taped over 136.
Episodes 105-108, 110-111, 113-127, 129, 131, 133, and 136 are the only episodes currently unavailable online, despite the claim they were available on GBH.
