They show a rehearsal on one of these and the Guy on the piano was so kind to all of you and Brought Bernadette and luis's other languages into the songs but did it so normal and so thoughtful and all the kids LOVED IT on the show.
I watched at age 8 from season one and on. I watched the reboot when my sons were tweens and was pleased it captured the original feeling. I am curious about the Zoom guests who sent in home movies of hobbies, talents, etc. I remember a girl dressed as an angel “flying” over an Italian Boston street festival. Kids who built a complicated treefort. Kids who roughed it in the woods, caught fish and cooked them sandwhiched between mud over a bonfire. And soooo many more. Kids were independent, clever and inspiring. I wonder if any former Zoom Guests would respond because their lives shaped mine too. Thank you!
Watched Zoom every day in the 70's. I watch episodes on RUclips now and always get a chuckle out of all the young Boston/ Massachusetts accents. Thanks for the memories, folks. Keith from Ashland, Massachusetts
Enjoying this content so much… thanks to all involved - watching ZOOM in the early 70s was a great childhood memory and all the Zoomers seem more like old friends or family than just people on TV
Bernadette did demonstrate her “arm thing” on the show, and it totally demystified it, so it was never as mysterious, but still quite cool. But it was actually never quite the same after you knew exactly what she did! :D lol!
I was in 2nd grade when your cast was on and watched every show. I remember Ann's film of getting her braces. I remember Leon won the game where you had to eat lemons without making a sour face. I think it's cute how Jay and Bernadette join hands at the end of the opening. I also liked your cast mate David who seemed so happy and full of energy. I remember that Ubbi Dubbi fugue where you were singing on phones throughout the show. And the telephone operator was stressing out. Maybe Nancy played the operator in the skit?
hahahahahaha i hope all of you know The individual things you did in the opens are LEGEND Bernadettes arm twist.....Maura through the paper Jay hitting the kazoo and the other one......But add.......The sounds they put to you thing you did made them that as well.
I wish I could have asked this question: what happened to Luiz??? Typically, Luiz is spelled as Luis, I always thought somebody made a mistake. Guess not. But what happened to him???
I loved all the wgbh shows as a child in the 70's and early 80's. I'm so grateful to have grown up South of Boston with all the benefits we had as kids from local Public television. I would stay home from school and watch Channel 2 & 36 & 44 depending on what kids shows were on and I feel like I got more from doing that than what I got in school. Lot of life lessons in humanity and being yourself as well as helping others. Thanks to all the Zoomers, that address is forever burned in my memory, lol, 02134
Lots of love to WNET Channel 13. Zoom aired at 6pm and my mother would let me eat dinner while watching Zoom! The show was diverse way before it became a trend. One night, my father said “They must be from Boston cause that kid (Tommy) sure sounds like it!” My mother responded “If those were New Yawk kids, they would have to be bleeped out!” Love to see the grown up Zoomers do a one shot episode redoing the same skits and songs!
Bernadette always talks about wanting to be AMerican to her dad as a kid...But Bernadette you were my crush. I think you helped yourself appearing very AMERICAN with ONE... THE CAPE COD ROPE BRACELET and the RIng on your finger. You were hip!!!!! hahahaha. I just thought of you as MY BERNADETTE with the LONG PRETTY HAIR.
Wow Tom, and all my "old friends "! What a beautiful program and you all look fantastic! Every time I hear an old tune and hit from 71-74, and those hits and quality were voluminous, Zoom was in the landscape of my memories,... I was fortunate to be 10 when 72began, with no wish ever to have been any other age. Thanks! I can honestly say especially now, when I see these episodes, I still learn.. Create, love, care, express, humble, in the time where we all need to get back. Question, how many episodes did each cast or group do? Also, how did each member to be replaced, take it?
Bernadette My sister can still do your arm thing........I call it the Butterfly also because of the noise that went with it??????? By the way Bernadette.....Every girl I know loves your arm thing!!!! It is literally Zoom!!!!!!!
I think you should try to do the show like you did it back in the 70's....I think kids and ADULTS would LOVE and APPRECIATE it. Keep it basic and simple without the Swooshes and flashes.
I started watching it the 2nd season when Bernadette started. Then quit watching it when Bernadette left the show. II had a crush on her and was mad when she left 😆 I did like the rest of the cast. I thought Jay and Leon were cool.
I used to be an after school teacher/day camp counselor. I would use both videos and activities from both versions of Zoom (70s and 90s) w/ my kids. The loved the "arm thing", Fannee Doolees, The Cup Game, Cracker Whistle, Stained Glass cookies, and baking soda rockets. THANKS ZOOM! (P.S. I still watch reruns of both versions, and have various T-shirts! I'm a ZOOMER too!)
I liked you guys when we were kids,and I still like you all maybe more now. ( I know I have good taste lol) Thank you for this reunion so happy to see you all again. xoxo.
I’ve always wondered why some of the first Zoomers did not come back for the next season. What was the reason behind it, and how was it decided? Did they draw straws to see who would come back?
Love you all. Thanks for the memories. My friends and I inspired by zoom built a hovercraft. We shot footage on super 8 of us riding on it till we crashed it in a lake. Never got the super 8 back.
Zoom was a phenomenal show. Enjoyed it all. I was actually about 3 years old when originally aired, but as seasons progressed along with reruns to follow, got more understanding of the show as it was entertaining and educational altogether. I liked pretty much everyone on Zoom. I know someone here asked about Neal and glad he's doing very well. Couple people popped up in mind, Rose. Luiz and Danny. How are they doing?
I was going on 16 in 1972 when I first watched Zoom and if it were on for memories Id watch the reruns and watched it till age 21 and then again from 1998 till 2005 and know I was too young to watch Zoom I still loved the show and the kids were decent and when I first saw Zoom in 1972 51 years ago Nina and Tommy are onlyu two years younger than me so I was not all that old to watch Zoom and Id still watch it for memory sake !
Hi Patti, ZOOM was a fun show that had a wider appeal than expected. An analysis of our viewer mail showed us that our demographic audience was a bit older than what was planned.
Tommy, thanks for posting this panel! Two questions: 1) Are there any other anniversary panel videos planned? I've seen the first one and the Zoom into Action vids. 2) Why did the show stop straddling casts to bring in what I call the Gang of Ten in season four?
Hi Stephen, Good Questions! (1)We enjoyed doing these anniversary panels but do not have any more booked at this time. (2) I believe Season Four had a new producer and a fresh start with the "Gang Of Ten" and no holdovers from the last cast.
I haven't heard mention of the podcast since this chat. Bernadette is fairly active on social media regarding her music so if it does happen, I'd guess she would mention it.
Hi Mary, Most of the "Sarson 21" cast members got together on our own this summer but there are no plans or proposals for a televised reunion at this time. Thanks for your question!
The reboot zoomers need to do a live chat for the 50th anniversary with Kate Taylor on the chat as well. I feel like the reboot zoom doesn’t get enough credit like the 70s zoom does.
They show a rehearsal on one of these and the Guy on the piano was so kind to all of you and Brought Bernadette and luis's other languages into the songs but did it so normal and so thoughtful and all the kids LOVED IT on the show.
I'm 24 and I absolutely ADORE 70s ZOOM; despite growing up on the reboot.
The Bernadette "arm thing" is still famous today.
And I still can't do it properly.
I’ve been watching the first and second season of ZOOM all week.I love this show.So many great memories.
Zoom did open so many kids eyes to other ethnicities and show that a Kid is KID and wants the same things regardless of the differences.
I watched at age 8 from season one and on. I watched the reboot when my sons were tweens and was pleased it captured the original feeling. I am curious about the Zoom guests who sent in home movies of hobbies, talents, etc. I remember a girl dressed as an angel “flying” over an Italian Boston street festival.

Zoom was my favorite show! It was so great seeing y’all! 🌻
You have to DO THAT PODCAST!!!!!!
Peanut butter and bacon on toast is still one of my favorite comfort foods... IYKYK
Watched Zoom every day in the 70's. I watch episodes on RUclips now and always get a chuckle out of all the young Boston/ Massachusetts accents.
Thanks for the memories, folks.

Thanks for being a faithful viewah
This is my favorite 70’s zoom reunion because of Donna Moore and Lori Boskin being there. They are my top 2 favorite 70’s zoomers.
MIne too including Tishy Flatery (sp?)
Wow - these are some of my VERY favorite Zoomers! Love seeing them again sharing wonderful memories. How absolutely wonderful to see!
Yeah, it sure was! I was there and I was the one who asked Lori the question on being a master of Ubbi-Dubbi.
@@DAMGoodEntertainment what about reboot Zoomer's too for their 50th anniversary party together?
@@MarissaOlivaO2134 I don't know.
@@DAMGoodEntertainment did you think the reboot Zoomer's well celebrate their 50th anniversary party because they miss Caroline birthday party?
@@MarissaOlivaO2134 I really don't know.

Yes, Nancy played the operator in that sketch.
@@patbuzby968 what about reboot Zoomer's then Og Zoomer's
Thank you so much, I love this and all the zoomers . You’re all so wonderful .
This was great. Watched the original show the night it premiered on Channel 12 in Philadelphia. Wonderful memories, incredible.
Jay will always be the guy with the instruments in the open but also...the famous line........A PENCIL A PEN!!!!!!!
I still have a crush on Bernadette...
Loved all of you. I was born in 1964 and adored the show!
Thank you so much for creating the show- watching it, I’m more of a kid now than then
hahahahahaha i hope all of you know The individual things you did in the opens are LEGEND Bernadettes arm twist.....Maura through the paper Jay hitting the kazoo and the other one......But add.......The sounds they put to you thing you did made them that as well.

This is pure magic!!!! Feeling so much joy at the moment with this...
Bernadette and LEON talk about the hard times in schools as a young kid in the zoom rap that happened to them a couple of times.

If anyone should see this....does anyone know what became of the effervescent Luiz Gonzales from season 3?????????

I loved Zoom as a child, got the original 8 track Playgrounds, and still got all my Zoom cards
They seem to be so happy and proud of each other when they speak about their current lives and what they are doing.

Donna has a beautiful smile! Donna and Lori Boskin still are as beautiful as ever!
2 of my 3 favorites als. My 3rd favorite is Tishy.
Hey!.... I recall as a child Lori as being homely, however she grew up to be quite attractive.....
I liked you guys when we were kids,and I still like you all maybe more now. ( I know I have good taste lol) Thank you for this reunion so happy to see you all again. xoxo.
It feels like we know these folks since we all were kids right? Such an amazing and fun show. Wish we could have shows like this today
Thanks for watching!
Donna, you're wearing a "Zoom" shirt
Can Lori still do gymnastics
I’ve always wondered why some of the first Zoomers did not come back for the next season. What was the reason behind it, and how was it decided? Did they draw straws to see who would come back?
The 4 oldest cast members had to leave so the show could continue to reflect its audience. Though there were some "older" viewers out there.
What is former zoomer Carmen Hernandez up to these days?
Love you all.
Thanks for the memories.
My friends and I inspired by zoom built a hovercraft.
We shot footage on super 8 of us riding on it till we crashed it in a lake.
Never got the super 8 back.
Ubbi -dubbi on The Big Bang Theory was the absolute best thing ever.

DO any of this cast of the ZOOMERS remember LEON eating the cake full of money I think Maura was in it with him in the PLAY OF THE WEEK?????
I have a question is Carmen still alive?
Is it possible to up/down load full episodes of this show. My favorites were Donna Moore, Lori Boskin . If possible tell them from hello
Tommy, thanks for posting this panel! Two questions: 1) Are there any other anniversary panel videos planned? I've seen the first one and the Zoom into Action vids. 2) Why did the show stop straddling casts to bring in what I call the Gang of Ten in season four?

Loved ZOOM as a kid. Whatever happened to Susan Hobbie?
To anyone who might know: Has the Zoom Girl Talk podcast mentioned here dropped yet? I can't seem to find it anywhere and would like to listen to it.
I haven't heard mention of the podcast since this chat. Bernadette is fairly active on social media regarding her music so if it does happen, I'd guess she would mention it.
Unfortunately the podcast idea has been dropped as some of the participants are too busy to pursue this right now.
Hi Bernadette, I remember you on TV
From 1972 a long time ago
I at first thought the kids in zoom were elementary-school aged because some of the kids looked younger
There were some that were; including Tracy from the first season and the cast A of the second season (she's one of my fav ZOOMers)
@@lyricrogersofficial I didn't think the kids in zoom looked as old as the short circus characters in electric company
I have a Zoom question what did you think of the reboot Zoomer's did you think they have their 50th anniversary party too?
Whatever happened to Neal Johnson from Season 3?
Neal is doing well. I saw him at work a few weeks ago.
@@thomaswhite3733 what's his occupation?
I still have at least 25 Zoom cards, along with the form letters I received in response to my most often-asked question:: Will you ever do a reunion?
Hi Mary, Most of the "Sarson 21" cast members got together on our own this summer but there are no plans or proposals for a televised reunion at this time. Thanks for your question!
The reboot zoomers need to do a live chat for the 50th anniversary with Kate Taylor on the chat as well. I feel like the reboot zoom doesn’t get enough credit like the 70s zoom does.
I don't know if you saw the ZOOM chat with Reboot Zoomers and the 70's Zoomers? ruclips.net/video/Y4c36wW0OHo/видео.html
I grew up with zoom I was as 8 years old
In 1972 keen. Joe. Tommy. Nina became. My. Friends. I miss zoom. Time. Loved it
