Zoom opening credits - Season 3, Cast 2

[Anglynn74]

heh McDonalds, that was back when we were able to eat fast food & never get overweight from it because we were outsude running around working it off, today they think by making everything healthy it's a cure when they never bother to promote physical exercize & eating in moderation, dummies.

[TheSnowdog21121]

It's so nice to know that McDonald's is advertising to kids even on PBS.

[TheSnowdog21121]

Where are they now?

[shinkashank]

It sucks that it got canceled.

[LittleRicky63]

Im Tim, Tim, Tim, Timmmyyy,, Timmmaaa,, Tim, Tim, Timmmmyyy!

[SeanKelleher98]

I think Shawn's parents were crack addicts because it's a boys name and I know because it's my name

[pucca8441]

@SeanKelleher98 and since shawn is a boys name a girl can't have it? Ryan is a boy's and girl's name. So is Dylan. Leslie can be a boy's a girls name, too. it's called unisex. :]

Just saying, not trying to be mean :D

[17arcano]

nnvm i read it on the info box

[17arcano]

wat year was this

[stillphil]

The Hector has the best music.

[canobeans1]

learning timmys dance moves!

[westlake19997]

Hector is hot

[emmers57]

God how I wanted of them stripe-y shirts.

[BiscuitHands]

Biscuithands Webseries

[IAmTheRealBagLady]

where are they now?

[subzerko1]

@IAmTheRealBagLady in heaven

[dynomitejim67]

I especially like the circus-like buffoon music they play when the fat kid comes out, then some the ever-so-slightly ethnically slanted music for some of the other kids. Too funny.

[dmcfuge]

@dynomitejim67 exactly what I thought!

[chestneychiller1]

you can def tell this is the 70's look at their hippie pants lmao

[nerdface92]

haha i did watch zoom obsessively in the late 90s early 2000s...i knew zoom was out in the 70s...i just didn't know this early!

my dad was 10 in 1974 so i imagine these people are probably around my dad's age now

[LovelyLemonz]

LOL look at timmys bell bottom jeans :)

[parkman35]

Man I had such a crush on Donna

[VickiDKK]

Looonngg opening credits!

[Dre5ds]

my dads the black guy

[013jared]

omg i'm glad i grew up in the 90's cause this version SUCKED

[5509leah]

i loved this show

[sunflowernoo]

Ok,.....All stereotypes in check, lol! I loved this show tho!

[XdisXesXwhyXimXhawtX]

I loved this show when I was like 5 And back then they all looked so old!

[visor109]

"Who are yoooouuuuuu, what do you dooooooo, live in a zoooooo...how are you? "

[verybestideas]

I like the old school Opening sequences. I try to adapt some styles in my own works...

[Peace4905]

This brings back wonderful memories!

[jfpinell]

Darn, I can't recall...this was more of an elementary science show, wasn't it? A lot different than Sesame Street or the Electric company if I recall.

[bpkeane1]

Remember the cake the kid iced with mayonnaise frosting. I used that one on my

ex wife, but she didn't like it...

[todtubetod]

grew up with this show big time.....

never noticed the 'ethnic' music before though..LOL

[Nicolene130]

wow !!! that brought back memories. ZOOM , box 35O Boston Mass, O2135 ... I even remember the address. I wrote so many letters to this show...I wanted to be on it so bad....only kids from Mass were allowed on it. I wonder where these kids or should I say Adults are now. Great show..Great memories

[Palitato]

Donna looked stupid. xD Also, why's the black kid with the afro the only one in bellbottoms? xD

[casestudyification]

@Palitato Awww......Donna looked just fine.

[TroyCutie679]

I can't believe this was the zoom before my time. I didn't even know this existed up until a few years ago.

[AlansNewMutant]

Okay, I'm now lost for the next hour watching ZOOM clips. Don't pretend like you don't know! (Loved Mike. Timmy was WAY too hyper. Shawn was my girlfriend -- in HERE *points to heart*)

[HappyMadisonDude]

Man they finally put some shoes on these kids lol

[tiggerlover41]

Haha Timmy's pants

[starrynightz]

Oh God, so long ago

[013jared]

this is fucking terrible what kind of kid watches something this gay

[heresmyfunnyname]

@013jared what kind of loser uses the f-word in every comment

they make. get i life!!

[heresmyfunnyname]

@013jared what kind of loser uses the f-word in every comment

they make.  get a life!!

[wannawatchu66]

@heresmyfunnyname I agree with you. Take away that word, and their whole vocabulary collapses like a house of cards. Probably uses that word to compensate for a severe lack of intelligence.

[rockbottom206]

why do they always have a token asian girl

[kuhnigget]

I had the biggest crush on Danny II.

[bluegreen1138]

I want a punk rock cover of this

[capcentre]

That tubalard, Mike, looks like a complete idiot.

[013jared]

like the best show ever. i mean look at these fucking kids what kid has the name hector and why does he look like a bitch, and why the fuck did they give them a personality cut out of the theme, that thing with donna was the most fucking retarded thing i have ever seen, a bunch of fucking captions of some fucking girl looking at a camera like shes fucking clue less, fuck who ever watched this version u suck fat balls, watch the 90's version and see who's cooler pablo or hector, pablo wins bitch

[Mysterycat74]

@013jared OMG This comment was rated "too negative" but I read it anyway and I seriously shit myself laughing! I was SHAKING with laughter!! HAHAHAHA I LIKED 70's Zoom, but this comment was hysterical!!! The thing about Donna! SO TRUE! I used to be like "Why is she making that "Duhhhh" face?" I am gonna read it again and crap myself laughing...Hector LOLOLOL!!

[013jared]

@Mysterycat74 at least some one agrees

[Mysterycat74]

@013jared You should watch The Season 5 opener of the 70's Zoom. I'd LOVE to hear what you have to say about Jennifer! The kid looked 100% like a BOY. We'd watch it as kids and when she'd say "I'm JENNIFER!" We'd all go "Nooooo! You are DEFINITELY not female!!!" Then she makes this HORRIFIC ugly face and we used to be afraid of her every time we saw it! And you thought Hector was a bad name? Check out ACARDIO and his gay pink painters hat and smock!

[013jared]

@Mysterycat74 holy shit i saw this video months ago and thought holy shit thats a girl looks like a dude to me

[013jared]

this was gayest thing that i have ever seen out of the 70's, the 90's version was like the best show ever. i mean look at these fucking kids what kid has the name hector and why does he look like a bitch, and why the fuck did they give them a personality cut out of the theme, that thing with donna was the most fucking retarded thing i have ever seen, a bunch of fucking captions of some fucking girl looking at a camera like shes fucking clue less, fuck who ever watched this

[bluegreen1138]

@013jared i saw no gay sex? are you sure that word means what you think it means?

also if i where in the same room as you i'd be very tempted, to show you a few cheap shots, and dirty tricks for talking like that.

I know it wouldn't make me any better than you. but "don't tempt me Hugo".

[143AC]

I hate these damn opening musical numbers.

[steelyglenn]

Whoa. Tone it down bud. The term is "Token Negro" anyway.

It just shows that you really are racist. Thats ignorant! :(

[kimmy1984]

I used to have the hugest crush on Timmy! LOL!!!!

[sexybeasy07]

It's so crazy cause my parents grew-up with this zoom, and I grew up with 90's one

[zshaw7549]

I hate to say this but when the boy says his name is Timmy. I immediately thought of Timmy from South Park. "TIMMY!"

[capcentre]

Mike looked like he made one too many midnight visits to the refridgerator.

[3dartistguy]

this is the result of casting non-professional child actors who can't sing or dance....and they're ugly too!

[Galsporty]

that is my childhood!!!! wow!!

[stalag58]

This is just about the time the token nigger was invented ,,,HOW FUCKEN SWEET JUST WARMS THE LITTLE COCKLES OF MY LITTLE HEART.

[Ldale11]

@stalag58 You're a loser piece of shite.

[iamwilliam2011]

You can tell this is a classic by the theme music, but I watched Zoom throughout the late 90s/early 2000

[Tiffianni]

im just rewinding Timmy's part so damn much...that is too funny!!!

[stillphil]

@Tiffianni pressing 4 ...mindless inebriated hilarity.

[jusaLOSER]

for some reason i remember seeing some of these intro parts in reruns when i was a kid during the 80s or possibly late 70s, but i was born in 72

[Delisle4]

I remember growing up in the 1970s and watching this show and loving it. I wanted to get on that show and be one of the ZOOM kids!

[Sheri451]

When I was little, I wanted to be on Zoom too. I wanted to learn ubby dubby too. I sent them a suggestion once and they sent me back a postcard that said they get thousands of letters a day and they couldn't do everything, but they did send me a cookie recipe. For a 10 year old that was exiting.

[cipherepoch]

@Sheri451

You know, I just didn't get the ubby dubby talk and it annoyed me. I think you had to write in for instructions or something like that. For everyone that says "they loved zoom" are you sure it wasn't more like "oh crap, there's nothing else on"? :) That's the way I remember it anyway. When you only have 4 channels to choose from, Zoom starts to look pretty good.

[timberhide1]

Is there anyone who knows how to contact someone with completed episodes of the ENTIRE Zoom series from 1972 to 1977? Even The Infinity Factory is satisfactory (if there's a rare person who remembers that show).

[ToddRodd]

I remember and miss the old Zoom like this one. It always came right before "Villa Allegre"!

[Sheri451]

@ToddRodd Hey I remember Villa Allegre.

[ghiking]

"Im TEEMYYY!!"

LOL south park omfg i cant stop laughing lol

[Oreoreogirl]

hehehe look how old and cheesy this is!!!

[ColorMeIn]

Wooow, I didn't know know Zoom came out in the 70's!

[AwesomeLoveStorm]

@ColorMeIn I KNO RIGHT!!!

[Meyellows]

I had no clue Zoom was really this old. I grew up watching it, but definately some of the last seasons, because I didn't exist in the 70's.

[nbreese73]

Why are they wearing Freddy Kreuger shirts?

[ariesista]

For me, this was the best season when I was a child. I totally had a crush on Timmy! When I think of a SASE....Self Addressed Stamped Envelope!!!!! And the concentration game...what fun! This and Eletric Company ruled!

[GabbiASU09]

I'm Timmy!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAAAA.....Lmao

[laurenandmac]

Their outfits are so cool for real though

[laurenandmac]

I am not gonnna lie the girl shawn looks kinda good

[Mysterycat74]

Danny got the lamest signature move after saying his name. The others got to do cool things or have a cool photo shoot. Danny got to...Jump backwards? Lame! LOL

[ajaben]

HAHA they have ethnically stereotyped theme songs for each kid!

[Loverearsup]

This was the real deal right here! Used to come on after Sesame Street and The Electric Company. The 70's had some cool stuff for kids to watch..

[reducetherisk]

Yes people......there was great television for children before the 90's.......I watched this in 1973 until it ended.......all good intelligent, clean T.V. was back then. What kids watch now is trash.

[pinkaddiction13]

0:40 LMFAOOOOOOOOo omfg keep starting 0:41 over and over and it sounds like timmy from south park AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[CAR18MEN]

i didnt know there was a disco zoom.

[nerdifytheapex]

awe..this brings back so many memories..but I only know the modern-er one

[NateSean]

I actually like this one better than the season 1 opening.

[AngelofAnguish]

Praise the modern ZOOM all you want, BUT, in my opinion, the '70s ZOOM is THE ONLY ZOOM!

[kevseb66]

@AngelofAnguish- You better believe it. This was the real ZOOM. Seeing this makes me miss being a silly little kid in the 70's.

[AllyNellaStuff]

dang the chinese girl has parachute pants

[Misiedavedays]

Opps i mean 0:38 $EXY BEAST! JK JK XD

[Misiedavedays]

0:40 LOL $EXY BEAST! JK JK XD

[davel8n]

a quote from me as a child while my brother wanted to watch Zoom, "can't we watch Tom & Jerry instead?"

[yeslauren]

Wooooah. I would watch Zoom as a kid but I never knew it was around in the seventies :D

[vaedriah]

ya me 2 i thought 90's and early 2000's lol

[FUTHX1138]

i viewed this as a little kid... no wonder i'm nuts

[MrRedPajamas]

@FUTHX1138

Yeah, I was wondering why I turned out to be a sociopath. Now I think I realize why I turned out this way. Lol. :-)

[PepperWhite62]

What season was Edith on? I was in love with her!!!

[laminage]

I think it was around 1972-1974. Rose replaced her.

[kevseb66]

@PepperWhite62 I was confused as to which season Edith was on also. I think she was on an overlap cast that was made up of kids form season 1 and new kids.

[PepperWhite62]

@kevseb66 Thanks for the reply. I had a crush on Edith close to 40 years ago. She's probably a grandma now. Which makes me - nevermind... I'M very young at heart.

[kdai2012]

ZOMG The pants!! XD

[KiannarratheDemon666]

@kdai2012 that's what i was thinking XD

[minididi42]

wtf i didn't know this was started in the 70s i wacthed this in the late 90's or maybe early 00's this is freaky!!

[mralmeister1]

@minididi42 this first came on in the 70s. Like a lot of TV shows and movies anymore , the newer one was a revival or a remake.

[pictureisup1]

@minididi42 it was 1972

[MarikasRoom]

Bellbottems nicee :)

[Pokemonfan4ever22]

this is an old show

[srusso61287]

I remember writing and getting a Zoom card with Hector on it, LOL

[sickkat44]

i knew a girl who dated timmy and she said he had an accident and is now in a wheelchair. dont know if it's true or not

[alfonso717]

I bet Timmy is in jail now.

[mcfreshintonz]

shut up racist i bet your dad is in real butt pounding jail

[auti34]

i all ways wanted to try out for it i live outside the city

[USAMontanan]

I'm a 48 year old man and I still catch myself occasionally singing the "Zoom" theme song while driving along on lonely highways! It makes me chuckle. I had a real crush on one of the girls but can't remember which one. I guess I have to watch all these openings to figure out who she was....I wonder if she is single now or married and a grandma!!

[makemejelly31]

I remember watching a much newer version of Zoom...I believe I particularly liked Pablo :] I was in kndergarten then, I believe. Brings back such good memories :]

[NegaRose13]

@makemejelly31 yeah me too. I was in kindergarten when the 1999 version came out.

[pictureisup1]

@makemejelly31 I am getting very old thanks for reminding me. I remember the 1970s one. I was in first grade

[kimistirednow]

Oh the 70s :)

[noerww]

I didn't know that Shawn was a girls name too.

[mezzofondo]

Just saw Electric Company opening titles. What other PBS kids shows from 70s can I find, other than Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers?

[ManChildWitness]

You need to youtube search schoolhouse rock. These were educational "commercials". That's what I learned what a VETO was and a conjunction. Conjuction juction what's yo' function!

[casskatina]

HAHA! SAME HERE!! haha! i have Schoolhouse rock Multiplication rock and science rock on vhs! haha!

[Actionguy1]

Wow! I SO remember this! I had the "hots" for Donna Moore and I was only 12 years old at the time!

[Miyasha89]

woah, I didn't realize this show was that old. This is soo before my time...

[azteka17]

lmfao donna looks scary and shawn looks like she got killed by donna, the music is so out of place with donna and shawn

[Ldale11]

And don't forget to send a SASE!

[Ldale11]

This is the Zoom I know! Timmy was the man.

[sexysmileslimbody34]

2 bad this doesnt cum on anymore. . .

[Riolu200]

im trying to find the the theeme song on youtube....and that show stopped for no reason!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miketheyoutubization]

JoymanyMahn2, do you have a ZOOM video that has the PBS 1988 ident?

[luckyluna22]

haha it sounds like the season 7 ZOOM haha

[rugbynimbus]

Box 3-5-0, Boston, Mass, O, 2-1, 3-4! SEND IT TO ZOOM!!

Only one coworker has any idea what I'm talking about when I say that. Pfft, kids.

[tclarknoho]

0 2 1 3 4

[lovelysnowangels]

I loved watching this show!! Come on Zoom !! Come on and Zoom Zoom!

[XDAreanaXD]

OMG the completly ruined the song and words. haha.

[Ldale11]

That's exactly how the song went. They didn't ruin anything.

[BigEdDunkel]

I always wanted to deliver a beating to Mike. What an oaf.

[leeroynaggins]

What to say about this show...

I think it had some profound effect on me.

But what I can't say....

I remember this opening for sure. It sort of bugged me. I couldn't really relate to any of those particular kids, I think.

I think they seemed so much older than me at the time...

[jblover4ever131]

man look at their pants

[MsDeandrea]

pbs was the shit back in the day wonder what happened?

[jblover4ever131]

i dont like this song i like the new version of the song the middle scares me its like someone coming to kill u

[jblover4ever131]

lol bell bottems wasnt born intill 90s this was how its like wow

[Ldale11]

Hey 14 yr old, what do you know? Bell Bottoms came from way before the 90's kiddo. And this is the definitive version of the song. Why r u worried about someone coming to "kill you"? The recent Zoom sucks balls.

[jblover4ever131]

umn how old are you tho i really like 70s its really funy speaking of my dad after showing me pics

[Vergadoce]

all-time classic. Love it love it love it. Sponge Bob sucks

[MsDeandrea]

i know right

[yumakookie]

Very odl..

[anjali6262]

these kids are sooo old!! how old would they be?

[tvgator1]

This is the group I was MOST familiar with. I thought Timmy was the coolest. And I also thought Shawn was cute as hell....

[Ldale11]

Yes, Timmy was the coolest. I think it's unanimous. I also liked the group with the Asian girl who did the cool arm cross thing in the thing in the opening. But the group with Red & the girl who always wore the fuzzy ball earrings was rather lame.

[delidude1999]

i like danny best from this group--yea the group with red was bad

[Mysterycat74]

It must have been since all anyone can remember is Red! There was also Tishy...she was the one that infamously blurted out a racially intolerant comment during a Zoom rap about how Blacks should stay with blacks and whites should stay with whites! LOL!

[NewMillionaire]

I like the first cast...lil NAncy!!

[gyhjklf]

I thought this was a cool show (born 70)but now you can tell its pretty cheesy n dorky!

[bigfinewoman]

OH my....i had a big crush on Timmy. I mean he was my first ZOOM crush. He was the reason I wrote to ZOOM Box 350 boston mass 02134 Send it to Zoom!!!

Where is Timmy now???

[comecaliente34]

where are they today ?

[CadillacL]

Was there a cast 1? I don't remember (too many yrs ago) Great memories though.

[SMSTERN2]

I remeber that Timmy with his funny spinning. Tv is not what it used to be when I was growing up. Thet should re-run all the old tv shows for the new generation!

[Mysterycat74]

Timmy always pronounced his "R's" like "W's" and it was really annoying. Like, he'd say "Fwiendly" and "Weally" instead of "Really" and "Friendly"

[discomusic]

Thank You for posting this i remember Timmy the most. wonder what happened to Timmy?

[BIG7THHEAVENFAN]

Here's one thing I could have mentioned: I remember when the zoomers tells us if two things were one thing. For instance, Mike said "If a snake and a buffalo were one thing, what a lovely snuffalo that would be."

[Mysterycat74]

On the Zoom DVD they have Ron and Jennifer doing this about themselves..and what a lovely "Ronnifer" it was! lol.

[7thheavenrulez]

dannys cute i never saw 70s version of zoom

[kismetnyc]

This was my favorite cast I think. I had the biggest crush on Timmy ::sigh:: good times, lol.

[Mysterycat74]

Shawn was the most boring cast member. Too quiet and sluggish. Watch her throughout the opening...it's like she's just phoning in her performance with barely any emotion or interest. And what's up with that terrible still frame pic of Donna? The last one where she's making a face like "HUH?"
