To send us out, here are the closing credits from Season 3. Another site has a collection of sound samples of Zoom (and other 70’s kids shows and commercials). has a decent one page fan’s history of the show. There’s lots of Ubbi Dubbi out there, here’s an example.īy 2000, in the second run of the show, they had to do Ubbi Dubbi rap. ZOOM even had their own language, Ubbi Dubbi, which is somewhat like Pig Latin but harder to figure out if you don’t know the trick. On January 9, 1972, the children’s television series ZOOM premiered on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) affiliates across the country. The sometimes wacky, frenetic style of the show gave a pretty clear indication that the adults involved were fans of the show Laugh-In, which was in its heyday at the time. Produced at public television station WGBH in Boston, ZOOM was one of the most successful non-commercial childrens series of the 1970s. The cast changed each season, but it was always multicultural and there was usually at least one kid who looked like s/he’d never had a haircut. But it’s the original 1972 to 1978 version that burned holes in my evolving brain. Set sometime in the late 1970s, the series centered on seventeen-year-old Eric Foreman (Topher Grace), son of Red and Kitty (Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo. There were two runs of it, most recently from 1999 to 2005. ZOOM was a PBS kids show produced in Boston and syndicated nationally.
