Series notes[]

In 1999, following a 20-year hiatus, ZOOM returned to the public airwaves with contemporary visual appeal and a companion web site, but at heart it's still the same program that made it such a hit in the '70s: a show for kids, by kids, starring kids. While the content of the program is essentially the same as that of the '70s, visually, ZOOM has changed to keep up with the times. The sets are now a riot of bright, electric neons. And gone are the matching broad-striped rugby shirts; today's ZOOMers wear jeans, matching sneakers, and a mix of striped sweaters and t-shirts in complimentary blues, greens, and oranges. They're similar, yet different; part of a team, but not identical.

This time around the show's producers are taking advantage of '90s technology to pump up viewer participation. Kids are invited to take part via voice mail, e-mail, video and the World Wide Web. Kids watch the show, log onto the Web site for more information, log off to perform an activity, then log back on to report their results, which make their way onto the show in one way or another. Every correspondence is responded to with a copy of ZOOMerang, a booklet that provides kids with do-at-home ZOOM projects.

Each season of ZOOM consisted of seven average kids called ZOOMers. At the beginning of each season, some of the old cast members would leave and be replaced with new kids. Over the seven season run, there were a total of 32 kids making up the cast.
