  • I'm 30.....I MISS MY CHILDHOOD!!!

  • i dont wanna grow up now... 26 pleas turn into 06.. 

  • 34 YRS OLD SHOWING MY 1 YEAR OLD THE GOOD OLE DAYS

  • I hate to sound like a jerkoff, but after rediscovering this, I finally realised where my generation of ferries originated from. That and Swat Kats. Damn it all.

  • @OneWayProduct My brother is a Furry. He credits this show and Swat Cats. You sir, are very correct.

  • I loved this show.

  • MYYYYYYYYYYYY name is van gogh

  • I'm Mayor Ben. I'm here to lend a helping head. Those are the only lyrics I remember from the series.

  • I'm 29yrs old. I LOVED this show, For some reason,the song popped into my head and i just had 2 hear it. So glad I was able to find it!! Thanks

  • @amberrandall82 me too!!!! just popped in my head today!!!!

  • @MyssKk22 crazy shyt rt!!! So good to hear it though:)

  • 28 years old here i miss this show :(

  • I love this show so much<3

  • Ahhh, the memories. I used to love this show, never missed it.

  • I found this show truly disturbing as a kid. LOL I liked many PBS shows; Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, etc but this? Truly disturbing. U always remember the melodies.

  • @TheGlobalMisfit this one was the worst. 30 min of feeling awkward before the next program came on is how i remember it.

  • @bedsheetsblue I agree. It was creepy and had no morals like the Teletubbies. lol What was PBS smoking to air shows like this?

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

  • I know...The cat chick was bad too.

  • @thaHoncho She's not a cat, she's a kangaroo.

  • I'm not gonna lie, I had crush on the pink kangaroo chick. She was fine.

  • Shows like this need to come back!

  • Oh the memories- kids shows are nothing like they used to be, mostly crap ones out there now that I have to watch with my kids, but some newer ones are pretty good, just not like in my day (omg I sound old, but you're not old when you're 29 are you?)

  • I know this has probably been said over and over again, but this seriously makes me miss my carefree childhood :(

  • You don't hear amazing theme songs, like this, anymore. Truly the last, greatest generation of tv shows. :(

  • Watching this was like having a magical acid flashback :)

  • This just took me back...got a little misty eyed. *man up*

  • do they have this show on itunes?

  • special guest star... "bubbles the chimp"

  • I used to watch this all the time...and I'm 29.

  • @dlg935s me too, i wish there was a way to still watch in online. i miss that show

  • @chop11111 yes

  • 29, and I can baaaaarrrreeeelllly remember this. Although I cant remember anything about any of the episodes, the hook of the theme song I still can vaguely recall. Man oh man.

  • 7 ppl must have been born in the 2000s and don't understand about the magic and wonder waiting for them lol

  • I remember Join in, Zoobilee Zoo, Professor Iris, Magic Box and Kitty Cats being on in the mornings on TLC. And Rita was the host! Does anybody else remember this?

    Best mornings of my life.

  • I used to watch this show back in the day and Sesame Street and Mr. Roger Neighborhood. I love this old child hood educational shows.

  • I love dis show I would watch dis before going to school...great memories...soy yo chuky...

  • This Show Has Got To Come Out On DVD.

  • u r nuts

    funny though i remember it

  • u r nuts

  • there's no way that that beaver was NOT a pedophile, he always scared the shit out of me as a kid

  • "Magic and wonder are waiting for youuuuuu" hahaha I was obsessed with this show.

  • @dbaby77 Me too.

  • O_o No idea why I started singing this. I still know the words...HAHA!

  • I used to love this show.. One of my earliest memories I was about 3

  • 0 :17-0:19

    creepy!

  • This show gave me nightmares too. my mom use to sit me in front of the tv and i swear i thought they were going to jump out the tv screen at me. lol!

  • I used to watch this when i was younger and it gave me a HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE i'll never forget. 80's shows..or kids shows in general could be so creepy

  • ...only until He-Man the Masters of the Universe come on tho...real talk.

  • I use to watch this when I was a kid wit my lil sister...really makes you laugh now.

  • My brother used to love this show. Oh, poor Ben Vereen, the things you do for your career.

  • I remember thinking Whazzat was sexy.

  • @TheNostalgiaJunkie She is.

  • oh i loved this show! it brings back so many memories....

    

  • This show used to creep me out when i was a kid..............but i still watched it. weird.

  • omg, i used to watch this show all the time when i was younger.. and now, i only know one other person that has ever seen this..

  • Get the hell outta here I was ALL OVER this show!

  • I'm crying right now! GOD, I miss the late '80s/early '90s...

  • haha..I TOO hum/whistle this tune a few times a month. And I haven't actually watched it since...17 years ago. wow...ALSO, Van Go's part in the song, has always been my favorite! haha ...and Whazzat was always hot too! haha

  • I loved this show as a kid. I remember watching it along with Reading Rainbow.

    I really liked Mayor Ben (even if he wasn't actually in the show that much) and Bravo. And Van Go, since I wanted to be an artist. I still think it's a very cute show. And that theme song is magical. ;.;

  • I loved this as a kid, but watching this clip now, this was one creepy ass show.

  • 32 years old, looking up the Zoobilee Zoo theme song....god i miss my childhood...(**TEARS**)

  • @patriots2185 FUCKING FAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­

  • @patriots2185

    ME TOO :) :)

  • @patriots2185 Same here, only im 28 lol but still...I loved this show! Good times...good times indeed. Though a tad creepy looking at it now lol

  • @patriots2185 Yeah right. I remember my uncle's and grandparents always saying to me when i was young: 'Enjoy your childhood, before you know it's all over' and i was like: 'WTF are they talking about?' But now i'm 30 and it seems they were right. Sometimes i think i didn't enjoy my childhood good enough. On the other hand, beeing an adult is also awesome offcourse and lucky enough we now have internet to take a little trip down memory lane whenever we want :) 1987-1988 this show was on Dutch TV

  • @patriots2185

    ya i know the feeling im 28 and i miss this show sooo bad

  • @patriots2185 lol its cool man,, good times and great memories im in on it too

  • i loved this show. I was sooo shocked when my hubby told be he had never heard of it. He's only a year younger than me.

  • @beckerific The exact same thing happened to me! lol

  • @beckerific yeah, nobody I know remembers it either... such a shame... I wish my son had a terrific show, and great characters like this to look up to like my generation once did... it seems nowadays as if society doesn't think our kids are intelligent enough to understand the morals that this wonderful show taught all who were fortunate enough to watch it. Zoobilee Zoo helped make me the person I am today, and without shows like this, our youth will be the ones who'll suffer for it.

  • the birth of furries

  • @AMVslowking And Sonic the Hedgehog.

  • My Favourite has to be be Lookout Bear as I become very good mates with Mike I met him quite a while ago online but met him inperson Yesterday and today and bought me Lunch :) and gave me a few stuff from zoobilee zoo i got 2 of the noses one that was Lookouts and the other was Whazzats :) i got to touch the hat he wore in ZZ and lookouts shoes :)

  • @Andyrt35 =O No way!

  • @Angie2343 ooh yeah I did :) hes such a terrific bloke :) i hope he comes down under so i can show him around my Neighborhood :)

  • I LOVE THIS SHOW it needs to be brought back IT IS THE BEST

  • Holy crap I could only think of the damn kangaroo and then I click on the intro and oh shit....I remember the damn song! LOL!!! Been looking for this show FOREVER and couldn't remember the damn name

  • @SierraSu47 The roo is one of the nicest girls you'll EVER meet!

  • I seriously wish I could bring this to my nephew, but I think he's too young..

  • Is this Gary Schwartz (the fox character) the same Gary as the TF2 heavy's voice actor? IMBD apparently thinks so.

  • this was my all time favorete show when i was a kid

  • This was the shot! Loved this. I was probably too old at the time to love it so much, but it was so much fun to watch.

  • I never realized that two different guys played Bill der Beaver.

  • wow i luv youtube all my old schoOL kid DAY STUFF IS ON HERE

  • not afraid to admit I used to watch this

  • I remember watching Re-runs of this show..always knew it was a real show but never remembered the name

  • OMG! Loved this show as a kid and totally remembered all the words to the song! :)

  • @howardkevinm full version?

  • @Angie2343 ya the part where mayor ben says "the road to zoobille zoo is out there..."

  • @howardkevinm Well, the guys that played the Zoobles themselves now have Facebook pages. Why don't ask them?

  • I saw this show as a LITTLE kid... Took me over almost 20 years to remember the name of it.

  • This show creeped me out as a kid : | lol

  • Sweet Lord...I still remember the words. XD

  • wow...

    *flashback*

  • watched this show on acid one time. havent been the same since

  • This show made me gay.

    (I'm seriously a homosexual)

    Conservatives shouldn't blame shows like Queer as Folk or Ellen Degenres, but marriages of broadway and dressing up in fetish suits like this.

  • loved this shit when i was little....wish i had these on dvd back when i used to drop acid

  • I thought I made this up in my head, like some weird childhood nightmare. Apparently not.

  • Memories. This was my favorite show when I was little. It was on the same level as Mr. Roger's, Lambchop, and Sesame Street.

  • AWESOME!

  • oy vey

  • Wow this brings me back

  • great show that :) i;m from Australia and a friend from the us got me hooked on the show i wrote to the company who did zoobilee zoo a few years ago and they sent me a signed photo and a video :) and also had a nice e-mail from Sandy Grinn who played Bill De Beaver he was really nice

  • @Andyrt35 I have an email from Sandey too, and it's cool that you got to email the people that make the show. Have you asked them if the show will get to DVD?

  • @Angie2343 No never thought of that it would worth asking :) 

  • @Andyrt35 Well then ask away!

  • @Angie2343 I've got Sandey as a friend on Face book :) I did ask him last year and at that time he didn't know and he said yeah it Should be everything else is it be hard when it was only shown in the us . it could have had a far better fan base if it was broadcast outside of the us and have a wider Audience.

  • @Andyrt35 And dubbed into otrher languages too.

  • Us 80's kids were totally programmed. Im 28 years old and can still remember alot of these cheesey 80's tv show theme songs more than I can remember the answers to my college tests. The advertiseing was brilliant in those days, they totally programmed all of us 80's babies through merchandiseing.

  • I had such a big crush on the kangaroo.

  • This show is great. I wonder how many furries have watched this show too?

  • @apossumsbestfriend

    Technically this show was made before the Furry Fandom was created. But yah, I had wondered the same thing. This is almost like the pre-furry days.

  • damn, Bubbles even made a guest appearance.

  • I love this show Its my favorite show growing up i never missed an episode i just wish someone could post full episodes on youtube that would be awesome...Waazzat kangaroo has always been my favorite character i love her

  • I got about half way through watching this and everything went black. Someone found me in the closet in a fetal position covered in puke seven hours later.
