I watched this show in the 70s and sent away for the Ubby Dubby language instructions. Now I am good at languages and speak several real ones but could never get the hang of Ubby Dubby. What is up with that!?!?

The revival of this show back in 1999 was a waste of taxpayer money. Do kids with access to cable television & VHS tapes want to watch this stuff? I think not! The reason why kids watched this show back in the 70s was nothing else was on.

did anyone ever record any of the episodes in the new series? i can't seem to find anywhere to watch reruns, so if someone can convert the recording to digital and upload it online, that'll be awesome. i'd even buy them if it was for a reasonable price. thanks.

anyone know where i can still watch reruns of it, or maybe a DVD or tape recording? i mean, the 99-05 second run?

It it me or did they sing in Ubbi-Dubbi on the late 70's roller-skating jam the "Double-Dutch Bus" think about it>
D-Zubble, D-Zutch! Don't mind me it's the medication.

You can see a few videos from the older Zoom shows on youtube, including one featuring that arm "trick" that girl did. I used to think that arm trick was something prostitutes do on the streets in Asia to attract customers. It just seemed strange PBS would be teaching this "trick" to kids.

I loved Zoom when I was growing it was one my all time favorite show and I'd love to see a reunion show someday. I just wonder whatever happen to the 1st cast Nina,Nancy,Tracy,Joe,John,Kennyand Tommy? if anyone knows let me know please

Love of Chair was on the "Electric Company"

Are there any sites where we can see pics of the older cast members from the 70s. I can only remember that Chinese chick with the cross arms thing, that I can still do today. And David and ugly old Edith who I always would say "Damn that Edith is ugly, how's she ever gonna make it through life?"

If this show was supposed to be educational (at least by 1970s standards), what was the point of that "Ubbi Dubbi" crap?

I like the first 3 seasons of Zoom (not including the 70s version)
I guess kids these days changed interests and it wasn't for me anymore.
Too much Ubbie Dubbie Rubap!
What? Jared died!? I totally had a crush on him in 5th grade!
I have to admit, Buzz, Emily, and David drove me nuts!
Sorry, Emily is to young for the show unless she just looks young.
Caroline staying on the show for like...4 or 5 seasons was annoying. I guess the producers liked her a lot.

I sometimes watched this show in the mid 70s. The show had some good points, but I assume kids watched it when there wasn't anything else on, or they weren't interested in the Gilligan's Island rerun on the other channel.

Nobody I knew would admit to other kids that they watched Zoom. I found that ubbi dubbi flubbi language, or whatever you call that, to be very annoying. That just made the cast seemed cliquish. I also remember when the cast started begging every show- "Zoom might go off the air... the people in Washington will decide..", which was followed by them begging you to send a photo or drawing of yourself in to some address to show that you want the show to stay on the air. I didn't send any photo in- I didn't care if it went off the air.

I loved Lori on Zoom! She was my fav!!!

I grew up in the 70's. About all I remember from this show was that arm trick the girl did.

I had a few friends who liked Zoom a lot many years ago, but it was something that I never got in to. I would rather watch the crappiest of cartoons.
