You're right. It's time to roll out the barrel. Here's a Zoom barrel idea sent in by Julie Glazier of Augusta May. Here's something one of you can try. Stand up on one leg for 60 seconds with your eyes closed.
You can count the seconds out loud. I've tried it hundreds of times, but I can't do it. No peeking. And to find out what's inside today. 1, 2, 3, 1,000, 4, 1,000, 5, 1,000, 6, 1,000, 7, 1,000, 8, 1,000, 9, 1,000, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, you're peaking. 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57!
You know what this is? No. Yeah, it's a nose. You know how to spell it? Yeah. Oh, I-T. How do you know? I go surfing every morning, like get up at 6 and surf till 7.30, and then I have to go of school. I usually surf all year long. The water like in the winter is pretty cold and it gets down to 34 degrees and then you have to get a wetsuit because it gets too cold. A lot of my time surfing is waiting around for the waves.
When I'm out there waiting, well, you know, it's cold and then you just think it'll never come, but somehow you know it will. First time I went surfing, it was a little hard to stand up, and I was kind of scared because of the waves, and my board hitting me. A really good wave is when it breaks in a straight line and you just ride it as long as it keeps on going. When it's really crowded or even if there's two people out, you have to give them a ride
away. THE PERSON CLOSEST TO THE CURREL HAS THE RIGHT-AWAY DANGERS OF SURFING, IT'S MOSTLY WHEN PEOPLE GET HIT BY THEIR BOARDS. Or, like in Hawaii, they have, you know, all kinds of reefs. You hit those, man, you're dead. One time I was surfing and I shot my board and it went straight up and it came down on me and it gave me three stitches in my leg. Well, Skip Fry, he's a champion.
About five years ago, he was the number one surfer in the United States, and he traveled all around the world to Tahiti and Hawaii, Australia, just to surf. he's a really good surfer because he gets as much out of the wave as he can even if there's a little one he'll ride it all the way into the beach when you're surfing you're always looking for the perfect wave even if the perfect wave doesn't come it's still good because every ride is different Oh, my God.
Do you know who I am? Yeah, you're Count Zumiela. I am Count Zumiela. Oh, you said that, didn't you? Yeah. Kathy Starr of Waco, Nebraska, sent us a game called Blubbity Blub, and here's how to play. One person is it, and he says either Blub or Blubbity Blub Blub to another person. If he says Blub, the person shouldn't say anything.
If he says, blubbity, blub, blub, blub, the other person must answer, blub, before the person who is it finishes saying, blubbity, blub, blub, blub. Anyway, it's fun. Blub. This is your first time. This is my first one. That's my first one. Blub. What? Blub. Blub, blub, blub, blub. Don't wait, Danny. Danny, come on, man. I can't get out of the game. Who else has two? You can't. Blub, blub, blub, blub. Uh... Blubby, blub, blub, blub. Blub! Blub! You didn't say it. No, you're out. Oh, no, you didn't say it. Yes, you're out. She said blub, blub, blub, blub. I said blub. Blub, blub, blub, blub! That's too. Blubby, blub, blub, blub, blub! Blub! You're out, Louis. No, no, no.

I said it all times. You win? Yeah. Blub. Blub. Blub. Ah, yeah, honey. How do you say nothing? Okay, I'm sorry. You're so shocked. No, you're wrong. Oh, you make me mad. No, because, see, I'll get you better. That couldn't be yourself. Blub. Oh, she's a good one. Blub, blah, blah, blah. I don't, don't, that's not me. I got you.

You don't know what you're doing now. Too late. You're out. No! No! You're out, man.
You know what this is? Yeah, our nose. You know how to spell it? N-O-S-E. You know what this is? N-O's. You know how to spell it? Yeah. N-O-S-E. You know what this is? A nose. You know how to spell it? N-O-S-E. You know how to spell it? I-T. You got it. Listen to me. You know how to spell it? I got you, I got you. Yeah, all right. Oh, yeah. this all started when i was about eight years old i went in and i kept pestering my mother
because i couldn't find anything to do and she says why don't you go out and build a tree house So that's what I did. Well, this was it, my first treehouse. It didn't have any walls, just a floor. It was a great one until I fell out, and then I vowed I'd never go up in a tree again. But about two years later, I decided I'd try again. I made another one. It had seven rooms, a hallway, a roof, and walls, and it was closer to the ground. I tore down my second treehouse so I could build this one. I got over my fear of heights, so I decided I'd go up. I went up seven stories, and then I went out on the extension. I woke up then one morning, and it had blown down, but I didn't mind because I was ready to build another one anyway. I like this treehouse the best. I'd built three before, and I'd learned from those, so I think it's a little better designed. It's stronger, and so far it hasn't collapsed yet. the first time my friends and i slept out here we all had to sleep on the floor
it was kind of crowded so i made these bunks i just sort of add things as i go along i went to build some stairs on the first floor and the boards i had were too short so i put platform under it this can be used for a table or a chair or whatever I need it for I wanted to make this tree house better than the others this first one that's got the most floor space and you can stand up in every room the hardest part is putting up the first beam after you get the first beams up you put on the floor and you have something to stand on to put up the walls and the roof and then you just start going up I don't plan where everything's going to be.
I just put up boards and it's what I want it to be. I get most of my boards from tearing down buildings or else my father brings them home. I just like building. I like putting up beams and nailing boards on to see what I can come out with. I'm going to keep working on it all summer, but it'll never be finished. I never finish any of them. you know what this is of course what is it i think it's a nose you know how to spell it how n-o-s-e no know what this is yeah you know how to spell it yeah i-t all right zoom will
We will resume after this important message. Here's a play called Rich King Poor Town. sent in by David Scarperman of Cedarhurst, New York. Once upon a time, it was a king who ruled a place called Rich King Poor Town. It was called this because the greedy king had lots of money and the people had none. Today I have $1,200,000.06
Free and the chefs, I'm ready for breakfast Yes, Your Majesty. Here is your breakfast. The usual. Eggs, bacon, muffins, cereal, fruit, orange juice, cocoa, and a vitamin. I don't feel like this food today I don't want that food I want you to make a masterpiece A beautiful, delicious cake Oh, and the queen will have the same And here, take my money and hide it in a safe place Yes, your majesty We must hurry. The king is in an extra bad temper.
Yes. Ah, I'll put this on the windowsill for now. Hurry up or my food, I'm hungry. What kind of cake shall we make? Well, first we'll add some flour. And some water to make the dough. then some yeast and we'll add the king's favorites a waffle a banana some peanuts and some popcorn. Oh, it looks good. Tie them.
Oh, oh. Yummy, yummy. Mmm, delicious. Mmm, it looks marvelous. A true masterpiece. I'm sure the king will like it. But what about the hole in the middle? Where's my food? I'm hungry. Right away, sire. Oh, he won't notice the hole. It's really, really beautiful. Well, I think we'd better be going to serve it now. It's very drafty in here. Don't worry. I'll take care of them if they don't make me a good cake. You know how it is? Ah, here's your make, your majesty. Um, I mean, your cake, your majesty. Yeah. Not bad. Tastes like a million dollars. What about me? Now we'd better go put that money in a better place.
Oh, no, the money! Where could it be? It must have blown somewhere when the draft blew in. Do you suppose it blew into the hole in the cake? We must warn the king. Sire, may we have a word with you? Don't interrupt me while I'm eating. Remember my money. I want to concert again. Uh, sire, we have something to tell you. Yes, out with it. Well, you see, you, uh, you kind of, you, well, you ate your money. I ate my money, and you knew about it and didn't tell me? Well, I thought you didn't want to be interrupted while you were eating. No, I'm broke.
What am I going to do with no money? If you don't mind me saying so, next time don't be such a pig. The end of the story is that the king goes on a diet and learns what it's like to be poor. Know what this is? He knows. You know how to spell it? I-T. That's like saying, Mississippi is a very hard word to spell. M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Do you know how to spell it? No. Oh, it... Are you...

- Description
- Series Description
- "ZOOM is a children's show comprised of weekly half-hour episodes which showed what youngsters do and think. Seven ZOOMers hosted each episdoe, and the cast changed over run of series. ZOOM premiered locally as ""Summer-Do"" in 1970, and premiered nationally in January 1972. ZOOMers played games, told jokes, riddles (called Fannee Doolees) and stories and did crafts projects...and invited ideas from their audience. The result was an avalanche of ZOOMmail - in the first season, over 200,000 letters. Additionally, the Ubbi Dubbi language was invented by ZOOM."
