ZOOM. If you're American and of a certain age, you remember this kids' show with their stripey shirts and that song where they sung the mailing address at the end. Now you can download a bunch of those songs and get them stuck in your head all over again.

Never heard of it. The PBS station in my area must not have carried it.

Haven't seen it in decades but just mentioning the show brought the entire theme song to my head. Wow.

cheers.

I loved that show, wow that was a long time ago.

I remember it but I never thought it was that good. I was 10 when the show started, and already turned on to Pink Floyd by my older brother, so maybe I was a little out of the target demographic.

I was never a big fan of the show like most of the kids in my school were, but I still ended up seeing most of the episodes. I remember being at a bar in the late 80's where one of the trivia questions was "What is the mailing address to Zoom?" and loads of people started yelling out the whole address. Then several people from various tables started singing the Zoom theme. It was like some weird cult happening.
