My husband has never heard of Zoom (and he’s only one year older than me).I absolutely can’t recall any specific act or skit that was done on this show – oh, just ONE has now popped into my head, and only one: they used to sometimes sing a take-off on the song “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” called “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat” (how I wonder where you’re at).
I think there was some matching “ZOOM” t-shirt action on this show some of the time (maybe during songs?).I really just mean different to *me* – a young Californian who at that time had never been farther out of California than Tijuana.) I can’t remember any of their names. I think the kids who starred in this were around the ages of eight up to about thirteen/fourteen and had, in my memory, odd accents – Boston, perhaps? (I mean “odd” in a good way, by the way.ZOOM was a sort of street kid, funky version of the Mickey Mouse Club – it was a variety show with skits and songs starring a group of regular kids that seemed more like real children you would see on any street in any town, rather than slicked-up professional child performers.I have rarely seen or heard anything about Zoom since that time either. In my pre-teen years during the early 1970’s I loved a TV show called “ZOOM” – but, other than the fact that I once loved this show, I don’t remember all that much about it.
