ZOOM

Zoom is an educational television show for children of the Elementary/Middle school age. This show is endorced by "well known" sponsors, and is a violence free, teaching tool that is conveniently broadcasted during after school hours. There...

Pros: Kids are real, variety of activities, moves quickly, good clean fun
Cons: Aren't most 10 year olds in school at 2:30?

Okay, that theme song is from my childhood, and it still makes me want to run around the room with my arms out like an airplane. I don’t get to see this show very often, as it’s on at 2:30 p.m. here and I’m usually working. But today I had a sick...

Pros: Content Presented By & Created By Kids!
Cons: Ubbi Dubbi is slightly challenging.

Pros: Balances Fun With Learning, Jam Packed With Useful Information, Fosters Creativity, Encourages Kids To Get Active
Cons: Humor Sometimes On The Dry Side

Zoom comes on our local PBS station weekdays at 5pm, and although the show is targeted mainly towards children between the ages of seven and twelve, the theme song is so catchy that it grabs the attention of my twenty month old son. He watches in awe as...

Pros: Fun, original, interactive
Cons: None

When I was a kid, I always enjoyed watching "Zoom." It was funny, entertaining, and educational - AND I clearly recall having a huge crush on a ZOOMer named Danny. Now ZOOM has been revamped for the new millenium, and it's good to know that...

Pros: I am so glad to see this show back on the air

Pros: good, clean show
Cons: NONE

This past week I was flipping through the channels when I landed on PBS while ZOOM was on. Growing up in the 70's, I vividly remember watching zoom often. It is sad to say, but I sat there glued to the TV, just as my 2 year old son was.
What a...

Pros: great educational show
Cons: sometimes the kids seem a little goofy

I remember the original ZOOM from waaaaaay back when! I loved it as a kid. It's great that my daughter can now watch it and learn. Another connection for us.

ZOOM is a great educational show for pre-teens. They do a lot of great activities...

Pros: good clean show for elementary kids
Cons: none

I remember watching Zoom myself after school when I was in elementary school, and now Zoom is back for another generation.

I loved this show when I was little. I remember a few years ago thinking of it fondly and being surprised I remembered...

Pros: action-oriented show, great math focus
Cons: too short

If you were a kid in the 70's you probably remember this show. Well, the bell-bottoms and big song and dance numbers are gone (aside from the opening number). Instead, the new Zoom emphasizes the "by kids, for kids" idea by packing the show...

Pros: Hold kids interest, educational and fun
Cons: none

I baby sit kids starting from age 2 and going up to age 7 and let me tell you, they all drop whatever they are doing the minute they hear the Zoom theme song.

I am not sure what exactly interests the younger kids maybe the singing and seeing...

Pros: Educational Activities, Fun Foods
Cons: NONE!

ZOOM!! This is probably the most entertaining , educational show out right now that adults will enjoy watching with their children. Every time my children and I watch ZOOM even I learn something new. My daughter loves singing along with the Zoom song and...

Pros: I like all the categories
Cons: Nothing!

I like ZOOM. It comes on PBS. I love it so much because you can make things to eat and you can make things just for fun. You can do experiments and you can do very weird things. Two of the categories I really like on ZOOM are ZOOMDo and...

Pros: Very educational in an entertaining way.
Cons: Sometimes a cast member may get on your nerves...

Come on and zoom-a,zoom-a, zoom-a zooooom! This show was popular when I was in junior high and I had to be home to see it. (I don't even think they had VCR's back then!! lol) Well, I'm now a 37 year old mom, and my 2 year old LOVES it! This show has...

Pros: great characters, interactive, educational
Cons: only a half hour

As I child growing up, I didn't have some of the educational shows that now exist. I did however grow up on Seasame Street and Mr. Rogers, and I wish that Zoom had been on when I was growing up.

I have a 5 year old cousin who comes to visit a...
