where to watch reruns of ZOOM?

**beefers1** · 06-13-2008, 12:48 AM

i used to watch that series all the time when i was little up til 2002 or so, but heard that it was tragically cancelled after the 7th season in 2005 due to poor ratings. the last original-run episode i watched i think was one of season 6 in 2004, and from what i've heard, with some of the last new cast members (and then studying took over my life, and i rarely watched any TV ever since). anyway, my question is, is there any cable channel that i can catch reruns of it? PBS-affiliated channels now only have shows for very small children. any other popular cable channels in north america that is known to rerun the show? any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. the reason i love it so much is that despite it being made for people younger than my age, i enjoyed the mostly viewer-submitted content, and the fact that it played more like a reality show than anything else due to its loose script.

Found this : http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...nnorswebguidec

Don't know if that's what you wanted.

**beefers1** · 06-13-2008, 11:08 PM

sorry, js, but that's completely different from what i'm talking about.

sorry, but it kept going through my head and this was the only way to put a stop to it.

As far as I can tell after spending a little time doing the google thing, theres no legal way to get it on dvd or to stream it. I may have missed it somewheres but...

**beefers1** · 06-13-2008, 11:25 PM

yeah, so i've noticed. no one noticed it on tv any time recently?

update: i've found several PBS and PBSkids programs on the iTunes store, including a DragonflyTV podcast (another great show for older children) but nothing on Zoom.

**beefers1** · 06-14-2008, 10:10 AM

ok, this is it. I've found no way to get the show on tape or watch reruns. Thanks for your help, people. man, that was a great show. i hope they release it on DVD or something in the future. i think what contributed to its demise is that it kept on taking cast that were constantly younger in the later seasons, probably to attract a younger audience (who were already occupied with things like Arthur or Sesame St.) to compensate for the older viewers turning away. in the first couple years, most of the cast appeared to be about 15-17, but in the last season many of them looked no older than 11 or 12, if even that.. i doubt there'll be another revival as older kids aren't really interested in this concept anymore; they're turning to anime, comedies, and video games. Just a quick look at Nicklodeon's schedule reveals that. they have nothing even semi-educational.

update: I think i've finally hit something! Discovery Kids Canada still airs it daily in the afternoon!!!! bad news: i don't have digital or satellite TV, so i can't view it. damn. but at least it's good to know that it's still out there!!!!

another update:

from someone who claims to be Ray. apparently, he's a rapper now.

update again:

LOL! she looks far too young to be talking about 50 Cent.

apparently for their final season (i've never actually seen any complete episodes from that season) they did a lot of "flashback" episodes reliving scenes from previous seasons, and about how everything in the studio was run. probably to prepare fans for the cancellation.

also, they had a completely different theme song for the last season:

Quote:

"go, go, go, ZOOM!"
"Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom-a zoom!"
"We're gonna zoom, zoom, zoom-a zoom!"
"Everybody's doin' it, everybody's movin' it,"
"Everybody's having a ball, yeah!"
"So would you zoom, zoom, zoom-a zoom?"
"Come on and zoom-a zoom-a zoom-a zoom!"
"I'm (name of ZOOMer)!"

Nick
Taylor
Francesco
Noreen
Emily
Kyle
Shing-Ying

Each introduction in the roll call is followed by a few quick slides of that particular ZOOMer in various poses (often in a silly fashion).

"Who are you?"
"What do you do?"
"How are you?"
"Let's hear from you..."
"We need you!"
"We're gonna zoom, zoom zoom-a zoom!"
"Come on and zoom-a zoom-a zoom-a zoom!"
"Come on, give it a try."
"We're gonna show you just why,"
"We're gonna teach you to fly high!"

"Come on and zoom!"
"Come on and zoom, zoom!"

Sobeit, am i putting this back in your head?

Also: the ZOOM clips on youtube have gotten a surprisingly high number of views.

**beefers1** · 06-14-2008, 09:41 PM

oops, wrong one. don't remember where i got that. here's the right song:

(Clapping.)

ZOOM!
Everybody!
C'mon!
ZOOM-ZOOM!
Zoom, zoom, zoom-zoom, ZOOM...
Baila Chico Chica Baila!
ZOOOOOOOOM!

Come on and ZOOM ZOOM ZOOMA ZOOM...
(zoom) (zoom) (zoom)
ZOOMA ZOOMA ZOOMA ZOOM

Uh huh, uh HUH!
Yeah!
Hey Nick!
Tah tah tah Taylor!
