It's from Wally Breitsky of Gary, Indiana. He says, Dear Zoom, thank you very much for putting my As a World Zooms on your show.
It was the most wonderful moment in my life to see something I'd written on my most favorite television show. I told all my friends and relatives to watch, and they were all very proud and happy for me. I used to think it would be a waste of time to try to submit any contribution because it would never be put on with so many others trying for the same thing. But I found out that all you need is a little patience and much sincerity. And in time, 28 Zoom cards later, that it is all worth waiting for. Now I remember what I was going to tell Mr. Williams. What was that? Not to use the elevator today because it's broken. Wally, we're really glad that you found it worth waiting for. And for the rest of you, remember, if Wally can do it, you can do it too. If you have any barrels or plays or anything else like that, why don't you send it to Zoom? And now, in the fading grandeur of the once famous Zoom-in,
another episode of As the World Zooms. Blabby, I have no idea what to do. Nobody around here appreciates fine food. Yes, yes. I know what a problem you have. Listen to dear Blabby. Step one in solving your problem would be... Hey, Louie, I'm hungry. Could I have one of your stale jelly sandwiches? what did i do you insulted her louie has a problem now if i was her i would where's louie i just heard a terrible yell what happened nobody around here appreciates the fine food your chef thinks it this bellhop just asked her for one of her still jelly sandwiches what an insult. Well, Mr. Williams, those jelly sandwiches are stale, and so are a lot of other things she makes. Hey, folks, has anyone seen Louie? I've got to talk to her. Good old Frankie had just
insulted her. She stomped out of the grill. Is she quitting? You bet I am. I'm not standing around here being insulted by a bell hawk. Blabby, the manager of the Zoom-in has got one big problem. I know. I know. Mr. Williams, it looks like you're going to have to hire a new... I've got an idea. You do? What is it? Me. You? Sure. I used to cook for the whole Randolphshire Jim and our band. My specialty is soup. Hey, Louie left the soup on. Why don't you go in and season it? Then that'll show us if you're a really good cook. Hey, where'd you learn how to solve other people's problems? That's my job. Mmm! That was fast!
Ugh! It's...

Ah, my jelly sandwich. You know something? These jelly sandwiches are kind of... Oh, Louie, but it's all right. But it's good to have you back. There's no other... There's no other cook like you. I didn't know what I was saying. Sandwiches or no sandwiches. You can never be quite sure what's going to be stale at the old Zoom-in. Some days it's the food, and some days it's the humor. But you just can't wait to find out what it will be in the next hard-to-swellow episode of As the World Zooms. you know none of us here at the old zoom in knows what the professor's invisible dog lucas looks like so if you think you know how he looks like why don't you draw a picture of lucas

It's called the Bustrubange Dubby-Zubbies. Next. That's us. Don't worry, son. The doctor will cure you. B-b-mob-on-dubbies-nob-a-thubbing-mob-on-webbing-nubbie. Dr. Zim will see you now, Mrs. Silly. Doctor, it's my son. He must be terribly ill. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well, there is nothing wrong with him. See what I mean? No, I cannot say that I do. Please, $5 on the barrel head. All right, but I don't think you're much of a doctor.
Come on, Andrew. Let's go to a doctor who knows what he's talking about. Dr. Zeme will see you now, Mrs. Zilly. Come on, Andrew. You need help. No, no, no, no, no. What seems to be the problem? The one I've asked Mubbie. I've asked Mubbie. Mubba-lubber. Oh, no. Here, Mrs. Zoe, call the undertaker with his knife, please. The undertaker? I knew the kids were sick, but not that sick. Come on, Andrew, this guy's a quack. Dr. Zoom will certainly have more sense. Poor kid, and so young, too. you. Dr. Zoom, the zillies want to see you. Oh no, Dr. Zoom, you have me too. The way Oh, quacks, here I go again.
I'm sure you all know you can recycle bottles and newspapers but to recycle cans there's something special you have to do on most cans the top will already be off and then the next thing to do is take the bottom off, like this, so it'll look like this. And if there's a label, paper label, take it off. After you've done that, push the can. So it'll look like this. Save them until you have enough to take to your recycling center. If you don't know where your recycling center is, contact your city or town hall to find out. And after it's finished being recycled, it'll look like this.
Can I have some snoo? What's snoo? Nothing much. What's snoo with you? Oh, brother. My name is Donnell Stevenson and I'm about lots of people coming to the festival. I live at Melanie Boy's home in New Orleans. The way I got the name tuna fish. When I first came here, I had two sandwiches in my pocket. One was a sardine sandwich and one was a tuna fish sandwich.
I ate the sardine sandwich, but I kept the tuna fish sandwich for a long time. I just kept keeping it, so they just started calling me tuna fish. there are 65 boys who live here at me only it's a place for boys that have school problems or family problems awful boys who got in trouble. I came here because I had family problems. One, one, two, three, four, one.
Two, three, four, one. I guess one of the best things that happened to me when I came to Milner, that is, I started to play the trumpet. Two, three, four, one. Two, three, four, five. All right, wait a minute. E, F, G, E. Playing the trumpet takes a lot of practice. It's worth it to me because I really want to be a musician when I grow up. C, D, E, rest. E, D, C, rest. When I perform, I think about my band
Because I wonder if they're going to play the wrong tune or the right tune Louis Armstrong lived at Maryland when he was a boy. He's one of the great jazz musicians of all time. Papa Joe Oliver. Now, Papa Joe was the greatest trumpet player in the South at that time, in fact, he never had in the whole country. Daddy Mills is a good teacher, but he's also a good friend of mine. So he took Louie as his own son.
Sometimes me and Daddy Mills on Saturdays go into French quarters and try to find some music. that's the nice thing about new orleans that we hear music in the street if i go dave may set up over there pretty soon you know dave with all of you great trumpet player you'll like him Someday I'd like to play in New Orleans, I'd like to be in a band just like Louis Armstrong. In the meantime, I'm just glad that I met Milner. I would really like to stay here, really, until I was 18.
I mean, I guess you just say it's home to me. Calling out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat? Summer's here, the time is right For dancing in the streets They're dancing in Chicago

- 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."
