The 1999 revival of the series '''ZOOM '''was never released on Home Media, bar a few special VHS tapes "The Making Of..." and "Party With..." and by the second half of 2007, had been taken off the air completely, and has not returned since.

'''''Zoom''''' was a live-action children's series that aired from January 4th, 1999 to May 6th, 2005, produced by WGBH (now GBH) that aired on PBS. It was a revival of another live-action series of the same name that aired from 1972-1978. The show is in the same vain as other popular children's shows that aired on PBS like [[Sesame Street (partially lost children's educational TV series; 1969-present)|''Sesame Street'']] and ''The Electric Company'', but its cast is made up of kids ages 8 and up and perform various activities like games, plays, poems, songs, and would occasionally start conversations on various topics like prejudice and hospitals, with most topics being submitted by the home audience. The revival became a ratings winner for PBS and switched to the channel's children's block "PBS Kids" halfway through the show's first season. The revival lasted 7 seasons with 200 episodes (outliving its precursor in episode length), ending in May 2005 due to poor ratings.<ref>[http://archive.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2004/12/09/childrens_show_zoom_a_victim_of_ratings_drop?pg=full Archived 2004 article on the show's drop in ratings.] Retrieved 26 Oct '21</ref>


Eventually, a number of individual segments were released onto YouTube by various users, and in 2011, about half of season 2 was as well by user ZOOMerTube.
==Availability==
The revival only saw four home media releases in the form of four VHS tapes that were released between 1999 and 2002. After PBS Kids stopped rerunning the show in 2007, a large majority of the show's run has never been seen since and is mostly lost.


[[File:zoom2.png‎ |thumb|A possible unaired segment featuring Kenny and involving a mirror-instrument]]
As of March 2024, all episodes from seasons 2-7 and 23 episodes from season 1 have been found and uploaded onto YouTube. 14 from the first season were uploaded by [https://www.youtube.com/@ZOOMfan1/videos YouTube user ZOOMFan1] and 2 more by [https://www.youtube.com/@Thatmeontvabckidstv/videos Facebook user Nathan Ng]. YouTube user [https://www.youtube.com/@EvanMediaArchive/videos Evan's Media Archive] also uploaded 7 more previously lost episodes in March 2024.


As of the summer of 2015, all episodes from seasons 2-7 and 11 episodes of season 1 have been found, uploaded onto Youtube by user ZOOMFan1, who had gone to the lengths of recording them all twice while they were on the air. Unfortunately, by the time he started watching, season 1 would only be syndicated once more (in late 2002/early 2003), and 30 episodes that were originally a part of the season would be skipped over. Although many individual segments from them were uploaded in circa 2010 by user KrisTheKnight, the episodes in their entirety are still at large. The episodes were respectively episodes 105 through 134.
Currently, the missing episodes from season 1 are 113-127, 129, 131 and 133. And partially found episodes are 105 and 136.


Other small portions of the series are still at large.  
As GBH currently does not have the rights to share or release the episodes, the only chance of finding them at the time is on VHS recordings from when they aired on TV. Since most of the episodes have not been broadcast since early 2002 (and the season hasn't been aired at all since January 2003), chances of all the episodes being found are slim to none.


* Most of the credits sequences from season 6 featuring the ZOOMers (many of ZOOMFan1's recordings of season 6 are the WGBY versions of the credits)
Clips from some of the episodes have been found, however. Below is a list of known found and lost segments from the missing 18 episodes and 2 partially found episodes.
* "ZOOM Out The Vote!" promos aired from August-November 2004 to support the election (a few have been found and uploaded by ZOOMFan1)
* POSSIBLE: "ZOOM Out The Vote!" promos aired during 2000 to support the election
* Lost full episode stingers from certain season 3 episodes (A few of ZOOMFan1's season 3 episodes are local versions, which did not air the correct, original stingers for the episodes. A few of the missing ones appear to have simply be recycled stingers, but some, such as the extended round of Turkey Chase in 318, contain footage that remains at large.)
* "Today on ZOOM" narration in episode 305 (video starts immediately after)
* Syndicated intro for episode 301 (some later airings of episode 301 on local stations aired a regular intro for the episode instead of Kenny and Caroline welcoming the viewers back to the show. However, this was only used a few times before the episode's final airing on local stations, which preempted it for "ZOOM Out The Vote!")
* POSSIBLE: Syndicated intro for "The Making of ZOOM" (because of the above, it is possible that later local airings of the episode "The Making of ZOOM" contained an intro; however, this is unlikely)
* Caroline's reaction to eating the edible spiders in episode 301 (recording blacks out at that part)
* Approximately 40 missing seconds of the "ZOOMGuest" segment in 236 (there was a glitch in ZOOMFan1's recording)
* Various "ZOOM Into Action!" narrations for later seasons (there were two versions of "ZOOM Into Action!" aired from season 4 on; WGBY's version and the local one narrated by the ZOOMers. Most of the WGBY versions are part of ZOOMFan1's uploads, but some remain at large, as do most of the local versions with the ZOOMers)
* "ZOOM Into Action!" for seasons 1 and 2 (In 2002, local versions of early seasons replaced the original "ZOOM a Cum Laude" segment of the first two seasons with "ZOOM Into Action!" segments similar to WGBY's versions of ZITA)
* Lost stingers for episodes 201 and 240 of season 2 (despite the recordings of the episodes being from WGBY, the true stingers are not shown.)
* POSSIBLY: Omitted footage from early episode airings (several episodes of the first two seasons run strangely undertime by around 30 seconds, and user KrisTheKnight's recording of the "Gelatin Molds" clip from season 1 ends differently from ZOOMFan1's, indicating the original airings contained additional footage)


In addition to this, many segments that were filmed for the show remain unaired. Some, if not all of them, are available on the website. In addition to this, what appears to be a teaser of one appears at the end of episode 233 at the 26:52 mark.

The show's revamped logo.

Status: Partially Lost

Zoom was a live-action children's series that aired from January 4th, 1999 to May 6th, 2005, produced by WGBH (now GBH) that aired on PBS. It was a revival of another live-action series of the same name that aired from 1972-1978. The show is in the same vain as other popular children's shows that aired on PBS like Sesame Street and The Electric Company, but its cast is made up of kids ages 8 and up and perform various activities like games, plays, poems, songs, and would occasionally start conversations on various topics like prejudice and hospitals, with most topics being submitted by the home audience. The revival became a ratings winner for PBS and switched to the channel's children's block "PBS Kids" halfway through the show's first season. The revival lasted 7 seasons with 200 episodes (outliving its precursor in episode length), ending in May 2005 due to poor ratings.[1]

Availability

The revival only saw four home media releases in the form of four VHS tapes that were released between 1999 and 2002. After PBS Kids stopped rerunning the show in 2007, a large majority of the show's run has never been seen since and is mostly lost.

As of March 2024, all episodes from seasons 2-7 and 23 episodes from season 1 have been found and uploaded onto YouTube. 14 from the first season were uploaded by YouTube user ZOOMFan1 and 2 more by Facebook user Nathan Ng. YouTube user Evan's Media Archive also uploaded 7 more previously lost episodes in March 2024.

Currently, the missing episodes from season 1 are 113-127, 129, 131 and 133. And partially found episodes are 105 and 136.

As GBH currently does not have the rights to share or release the episodes, the only chance of finding them at the time is on VHS recordings from when they aired on TV. Since most of the episodes have not been broadcast since early 2002 (and the season hasn't been aired at all since January 2003), chances of all the episodes being found are slim to none.

Clips from some of the episodes have been found, however. Below is a list of known found and lost segments from the missing 18 episodes and 2 partially found episodes.
