ZOOM: the Art of Animation part 2

C'mon and Zooma Zooma Zooma ZOOM!

ZOOM was a send it variety show produced for PBS by WGBH in Boston, and aired from 1999 through 2005. It was the third installment of 1970s show "ZOOM" -- the show's various segments were culled from thousands of ideas submitted by viewers (by mail to the address above). Sometimes these kids were featured in the clips themselves.

Ubbi-Dubbi? Well, let Wikipedia break it down for you.
Wait, that was no fun... better yet, pbs.org has a Flash-based Ubbi-Dubbi Translator. I had it translate its own instructions into Ubbi-Dubbi:
"Uball yubou hubave tubo dubo ubis subay UBUB bubefubore ubevuberuby vubowubel subound. Uband thubis Ububbubi Dububbubi mubachubine hubas bubeen prubogrubammubed wubith thube ubabubilubituby tubo rubecubognubize whubich vubowubels ubare suboundubed, uband whubich ubare subilubent!"

Wikipedia also comes close to de-funnifying Fannee Doolee: "Fannee Doolee is a fictitious girl acted in the playhouse by the ZOOMers on ZOOM. During the play, Fannee Doolee does not face the audience and she does not speak; instead, Fannee Doolee's unheard dialog is exposed when the person she was seen talking to turns to talk with others. The play is a comedy and the repeating gag is that Fannee Doolee likes and dislikes things that are similar and the people around her are perplexed by this inconsistency. For example, she likes stools but not chairs; she likes coffee but not drinks; she likes rolls but not bread; she likes cheese but not dairy.

Here are some segments:

- Roll out the ZOOM Sci, It's fun. I remember Cabbage Juice Incinerator
- ...doo-wah-zoom-doo, Do A ZOOMDo! Lynese does Pomander
- Smoosh sings "Pajama Party Time"

They also performed it on Educational Nickelodeon show "Yo Gabba Gabba!"
- ZOOM Playhouse: Caroline can't sleep, she thinks there's monsters! The full episode is included on PBS Sleepytime Stories.
- A Nice Piece of Music
"Rest your head it's time for bed

Rest your head it's time for bed

Dream of counting sheep
Dream of gazing stars
Dream of happy birthday
Dream of planet Mars

Just rest your head
Rest your head it's time for bed
Rest your head it's time for bed

Dream of autumn leaves
They circle as they dance
Dream of golden gates
Dream of Paris, France

Just rest your head it's time for bed
Rest your head it's time for bed"

The show had auditions for a 8th Season and they picked the KIDS

But the show was cancelled due to low ratings, so Season 7 was the last season. No Season 8.

Here are the Recollections:

• PBS Kids Compliation Videos (PBS Animal Tales, PBS Playtime Pals, PBS Trick or Treat Tales etc) use the episodes. 
• FETCHer Taylor was on the show 
• The term "ZOOMers" was picked up by ZOOM, when Ms. Stitch started her own club, the Stitchers . (EKA: S1E5 Sleep) All of the children wore Orange Shirts with the word "Stitchers" on them. Mr. Nitch followed suit with the Nitchers (EKA: S3E2 Silas the Nitcher)
  Since then, the number of "-ers" on ZOOM has grown to include the Sitchers, the Rhonaers, the Tenderers, the Weehawkeners and the Schoolers.
